The Used announce anniversary tour

The Used have announced details of a 15th anniversary tour in 2016.

They plan on playing two shows in every city they visit and will perform their 2002 self-titled debut on the first night, then 2004’s In Love And Death on the following date.

The run of 46 shows starts at the O2 Academy, Leeds, on February 20, and wraps up at Club Nokia, Los Angeles, on May 28.

The band say: “What better way to celebrate than to bring you two nights of music in 23 cities across the US, UK and Europe. Come help us relive these moments together.”

Tickets go on general sale on Friday (November 20) at 10am local time via the band’s website. Each online purchase will come with a download of their album Live And Acoustic At The Palace, featuring a four-piece string section and gospel choir. The album won’t be available anywhere else until April 1, 2016.

There’s no word if guitarist Quinn Allman will return in time for the shows. He announced he was taking a year away from the band in February and was replaced by Justin Shekoski.
