Brand New have announced their return with details of their first string of live shows since 2017 – see the dates below.

The Long Island band have been largely inactive since frontman Jesse Lacey was accused of sexual misconduct involving a minor in 2017, with their UK tour at the time cancelled and their music removed from Spotify ‘Wrapped’ lists after two more women came forward with additional allegations.

They did play a secret and intimate reunion show in December last year in Nashville’s Eastside Bowl. The performance saw the band playing new songs, prompting speculation to grow that a full-blown reunion could be on the cards for 2025.

Now, the band have launched their own website, where fans can register to buy tickets for one of three shows they will be playing at the end of this month.

MARCH
26 – Dallas, TX, Bomb Factory
28 – Newport, KY, Megacorp Pavilion
29 – Nashville, TN, The Pinnacle

Glad to have them back. I hate that we got to a point where they had to go away in the first place, but at least things seem to be healing.

Hopefully new music comes of this and hopefully it's sad AF.

Great news. Fuck all the puritan woke idiots from chorus fm and the "scene" that cancelled them.
