Bleachers Announce 2024 U.S. Tour Dates

Bleachers have announced a 2024 tour of the United States. Beginning in May, Jack Antonoff and his band will play From the Studio to the Stage shows with support from Samia . See Bleachers’ tour dates below.

A dollar from each ticket sale will go to the Ally Coalition , the nonprofit organization that Antonoff co-founded with his sister, Rachel, in 2013 to support LGBTQ+ youth. On Tuesday, December 19, Bleachers will perform at the Ally Coalition’s ninth annual talent show at New York University’s Jack H. Skirball Center for the Performing Arts.

In a statement about ticket sales, Jack Antonoff said:

jack here. we know there’s lots of issues and confusion when buying tickets to shows. want to ensure you we’ve done and will always do everything in our power to make this process as clean and transparent as possible for you all. we’ve had conversations from every single venue and promoter to the heads of the companies to limit fees and advertise only the total price to fans for as many shows as possible. so the ticket price you see is the ticket price you pay. this tour means the world to me and i want to make sure everyone gets in the door feeling right. also keep me posted if you encounter anything weird because i wanna know what you guys deal with and be able to take it right to the top of these companies and do my best to make it easier for bleachers fans and everyone. love you all! see you at FTSTTS ( just wait till you see this shit :) )

Bleachers are playing shows in support of their forthcoming self-titled album . The group’s follow-up to 2021’s Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night is out March 8.

Bleachers Detail U.S. 2024 Tour Dates, Return of Shadow of the City Festival

The Bleachers have outlined an impending U.S. tour in late spring 2024. A series of dates will take the group from Salt Lake City across the country and to the East Coast, culminating to a close on June 15, with the return of Jack Antonoff’s Shadow of the City Festival at the Stone Pony Summer Stage in Asbury Park, N.J.

After night one in The Beehive State, Bleachers will arrive at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colo., on May 20. They will follow up with a series of Midwest appearances, including stops in Omaha, Neb., and Kansas City, Mo., preluding a May 25 stand at Chicago’s Salt Shed. The band will play a show in Madison, Wis., followed by a highly anticipated stand at the storied Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn., on May 28.

Bleachers will participate in a trio of Lone Star State gigs next, eventually arriving at Kemba Live! in Columbus, Ohio, on June 4 for their next appearance. The band will continue with East Coast stops, performing at Stage AE in Pittsburgh, then popping up to Westville Music Bowl in New Haven, Conn., for an ensuing concert on June 7. 

On June 8, Bleachers are scheduled to take the stage at Beak and Skiff in Lafayette, N.Y., before making their way to Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway on June 10. Final tour dates will take the group to Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., followed by the return of Shadow of the City.

Bleachers return to the road will come on the heels of the release of their fourth studio album Bleachers , which arrives March 8th via RCA Records. So far they’ve shared two singles from the forthcoming record: the Americana saxophone-led wailer “Modern Girl” and the broodingly lovelorn “Alma Mater.” Joining them on the tour will be indie-pop singer/songwriter SAMIA — who just released her sophomore album Honey back in January.

Before they head out they will make an appearance at KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas at The Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

When Do Bleachers Tickets Go On Sale?

Tickets for Bleachers  go on sale to the general public on Friday, December 8th at 10am local time.

The Bleachers artist presale starts Tuesday, December 5th at 10am local time.

A promoter presale also begins on Wednesday, December 6th at 10am local time.

What Is The  Bleachers  Presale Code?

Fans who want to purchase tickets for Bleachers through the available presales have a number of options.

Artist Presale

The Bleachers artist presale starts Tuesday, December 5th at 10am local time . Once you’ve selected your preferred Bleachers tour date , you’ll need to head over to their official website to register for access to your chosen date via Seated.

Live Nation Presale

A Live Nation presale will begin on  Wednesday, December 6th at 10am local time . To access the promoter presale,  choose a Bleachers tour date  and then use the following presale code to access the presale tickets:  CREW .

Pro Tips When Buying Your Tickets

First, on the day of the presale or general onsale (whichever you prefer), login to your Ticketmaster account ( go to my account or sign in located on the upper right corner of the page ) at least 15 minutes ahead of the sale time. If you don’t have one,  create one now .

Be sure to add your billing info (aka credit card info) before jumping into the digital queue for a quick check-out. Once the presale starts, remain in the digital queue. Only use one browser window because using multiple browsers or devices and multiple accounts with the same phone number can result in errors. Trust, it’s happened to us before! Don’t refresh your page, do be patient, don’t leave your page, do get those tickets!

What To Do If Tickets Are Sold Out?

If tickets sell out, your other option is to buy them via online resellers like VividSeats or StubHub. When all else fails, we prefer these resell options because both offer a 100% Guarantee. You can also purchase resell tickets through Ticketmaster’s resell program. Just search for the concert or event you want to attend , and see if they have any resell tickets available. We recommend you compare the three options and find out which works best for you.

Alternatively, you can hit it old school style and show up at the concert when the box office opens and wish upon a star that they release more tickets, or hopefully, another concert-goer has an extra ticket to sell at face-value or even giveaway for free. Trust, this happens more often than not! We’ve given away many tickets to sold-out shows simply because our +1 couldn’t make it.

Also, more standard tickets are often released via Ticketmaster 1-3 days leading up to the show date. We’ve seen it with Beyonce , Taylor Swift , Arctic Monkeys and many more! It’s a secret gatekeeped by many, but if you’re reading this, now you know! So be sure to set your calendar notifications!

Photos show how the Olympics affected tourism in Paris

• Paris estimated 11 million people visited the city during the Olympics, fewer than expected.
• Photos show how Olympics-related closures and crowds affected visitors' experiences.
• This story is part of " Road to Paris ," a series chronicling athletes' and spectators' experiences at the Olympic Games.

You might assume hosting the Olympics is great for a city's economy thanks to an influx of visitors staying in hotels, dining out, and enjoying the sights.

But the financial benefits of hosting the Olympics aren't so clear. The Games can end up costing a host country billions of dollars and can leave behind structures that sit empty for years .

Ahead of this year's Olympics, Paris tried to mitigate losses by relying on existing venues and making detailed plans for the future of other structures, including the Olympic Village .

But it was unclear how many visitors would pay to travel to Paris during the Games. Several airlines said they anticipated a loss in revenue as fewer people appeared to be interested in traveling to Paris than in previous summers.

"Unless you're going to the Olympics, people aren't going to Paris," Delta CEO Ed Bastian told CNBC in July . He estimated the airline would lose up to $100 million because of the Olympics.

But as the Games got underway and spectators poured into the stadiums and streets, it became clear that Paris was still bustling — though with sports fans rather than shoppers.

A Forbes report said the French newspaper Le Monde estimated that 1.3 million people visited at least one so-called fan zone, or area for watching sports, in Paris during the Olympics. France's tourism minister, Olivia Grégoire, told the French paper La Tribune Dimanche, per Reuters , that museum attendance was up by 25% compared with the same period in 2023 and that the number of hotel guests increased by 16%.

Visa, the Olympics' payment partner, reported a 42% increase in customers in Paris during the first week of the Games compared with the same week last summer.

Overall, the Paris tourism office estimated 11 million people visited the city during the Olympics, down from its initial estimate of 15 million. Still, 11 million was a 4% increase from 2023's visitor numbers for the same period, it said.

It remains to be seen whether visitor rates will stay consistent for the Paralympics, which kicked off in Paris this week. But as evidenced by other host cities , Paris is likely to feel the effects of these games for years to come.

Here's what it looked like to be a tourist in Paris during this year's Olympics.

The Olympics' effect on tourism in Paris was felt before they started. Streets and landmarks were fenced off in June.

Paris' metro systems are normally the fastest way for visitors to get around the city, but some stations and connections were closed for the Olympics.

The city also created a Games Pass, which made many of its landmarks off-limits without a QR code.

Paris is built around the Seine, the river that winds through the city. But bleachers took over the beautiful riverside walkways.

The Paris Olympics' opening ceremony was held along the Seine instead of inside a stadium.

Though the river has been too polluted to swim in for 100 years, organizers made the controversial decision to have some of the swimming events in the Seine.

The city spent over $1 billion to clean the river, but by July 30, the E. coli levels were still too high for athletes to swim in it.

Eventually, athletes did swim in the Seine , but some weren't too happy about the water quality.

Fences obstructed visitors' views of the Seine.

Before the Olympics, the city installed more than 44,000 metal barriers.

Some shopkeepers weren't too pleased.

"In July, it felt like August, and in August, it felt like COVID," one told Le Monde, alluding to the annual exodus of Parisians going on vacation . Many shops, bakeries, and markets shut down for the month and reopen in September.

Ahead of the opening ceremony on July 26, train stations were in chaos after a coordinated attack on multiple lines. People were stranded for hours.

The night before the opening ceremony, the French railway system was the victim of what France's train operator, the SNCF, described as "malicious acts."

Three major lines were targeted in arson attacks, affecting an estimated 800,000 travelers over the weekend.

The opening ceremony took place almost entirely along the Seine, drawing crowds to its banks.

An estimated 300,000 people crowded together to watch teams float by. French officials said an earlier cap of about 600,000 people was cut in half to ensure spectators' safety.

NBCUniversal said nearly 29 million people watched on TV, the highest viewership since the 2012 Olympics in London.

The bleachers were filled with fans excited to see the performances.

Though it rained during the opening ceremony, that didn't deter the crowds.

Lady Gaga, Gojira, Celine Dion, Aya Nakamura, and Rim'K were among the musical acts.

Normally the park in front of the Eiffel Tower is open to anyone. During the Olympics, it was used for the opening ceremony.

The stage was designed to mirror the Eiffel Tower above it.

The landmark was still open to visitors during the Olympics, except for July 26, when the opening ceremony was held.

After the opening ceremony, Eiffel Tower Stadium became a sports venue.

The temporary venue, which can hold almost 13,000 people, hosted beach volleyball at the Olympics and will host blind football during the Paralympics.

That's not the only role the Eiffel Tower played at this year's Olympics. The middle of each medal has a piece of metal from the structure.

People could gather and watch events at fan zones — the city said 150,000 spectators visited a fan zone during the first weekend alone.

"It's going well," Rachid Biad, a fan-zone coordinator, told Le Monde.

More than 20 fan zones were set up across the city. One at the foot of the Eiffel Tower — on the other side from the stadium — was expected to get 13,000 spectators a day.

But many of these fan zones were in public parks. To see the Tuileries Garden in all its beauty, visitors will have to come back after the Olympics.

Instead of a beautiful garden, visitors saw a sea of phones.

On days with biking races, getting around the streets of Paris was difficult.

Various roads zigzagging through the city were closed from three hours before a race to 15 minutes after the last competitor finished, making it more difficult than usual to sightsee.

Paris is a city of bridges — it has 37 — but many were temporarily closed during the Games, and people traveling around the city had to take detours.

The iconic rings were placed outside the Louvre's pyramid.

The museum, which remained open during the Olympics, was also a backdrop for the opening ceremony.

The Arc de Triomphe is now adorned with the Paralympic logo.

The Paralympics are underway until September 8.

The Paralympics have become more popular since their inception in 1960. This year's events are set to be the most watched, as more than 160 countries have confirmed broadcast agreements, the International Paralympic Committee said.

Organizers said on Wednesday that 2 million tickets had been sold for the Paralympics, with 500,000 tickets still available.
