The Get Up Kids have announced a 25th anniversary tour for Something To Write Home About, and they’ll play the album in full each night. The anniversary shows starts with an appearance at Four Chord Music Fest in Pittsburgh at the end of June; the tour picks up in earnest in August, and runs through October culminating in the second wave emo fest Best Friends Forever in Las Vegas.

“Anybody can start a band when you’re 20 and go on tour and have a couple of years of fun with that. But what it became, at least to us, is the reason that we can still do this now,” Matt Pryor said in a press release. “We are doing this as a celebration, and we’re going to have a party every night on stage.”
