Jimmy Eat World kicked off their ‘Bleed American’ 25th anniversary tour at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado on June 9, and that show saw them play their 2001 breakthrough album in full, along with cuts from 1999’s ‘Clarity’ and 2004’s ‘Futures’ and a host of B-sides.
Rarities on the setlist included ‘Disintegration’ from 2005 EP ‘Stay On My Side Tonight’, which was played for the first time since 2014, as well as ‘(Splash) Turn Twist’ from 2004 EP ‘Firestarter’ which was played live for the first time.
Back in February, frontman Jim Adkins spoke to NME ahead of the tour kicking off and discussed whether or not the band knew that the 2005 album was going to be their ‘make or break’ moment.
“I can see how from an outside perspective – especially these days – if you were looking at our story and reading that we were dropped by our record label and went on to finance our own album and it went on to be successful that it might look that way, ‘Hey guys, this is it, we’re putting it all on black!’,” he said. “It wasn’t like that at all from our perspective. The business and industry side of things was all just noise in the background.”
Discussing the album’s enduring legacy, he added: “The people that are finding the album now, or in the last 10 years, means it’s something they’ve sought out or have been able to absorb in a way that allows it to be theirs, on a personal level. Now you can really feel what it means to you as a listener. That’s powerful.”
The 2026 anniversary shows come following the band sharing the ‘Something(s) Loud’ EP at the end of 2025 – a six-song release that paired digital-only singles – including ‘Something Loud’, ‘Place Your Debts’, and a cover of Crooked Fingers’ ‘Call to Love’ – with the previously unreleased track ‘Failure’.
Jimmy Eat World’s last full-length album was 2019’s ‘Surviving‘. In a three-star review, NME shared: “This album explores some of the different kinds of weights my ego tells me I have to carry… They came up among a crop of bands intent on mining nostalgia and living relentlessly in the past, but the group’s bold, brave steps forward are welcome.”
