Two of post-hardcore’s most enduring acts are finally sharing a stage together. Silverstein and Story Of The Year have announced the Camp Screamo Tour, a co-headline run kicking off July 12 in Asbury Park, NJ, with special guest Origami Angel along for the ride. Remarkably, despite years of mutual respect and a shared scene, this marks the first time the two have toured the U.S. together.
Silverstein frontman Shane Told isn’t underselling it. “This tour is going to be nostalgic, loud, chaotic, fun, wild, emotional, slightly unhinged, sweaty, mildly dangerous, and a little irresponsible,” he says, adding that the setlist pulls from across the band’s catalog, classics alongside deep cuts. Story Of The Year come in equally loaded, drawing from their recent ‘A.R.S.O.N.’ material alongside ‘Tear Me to Pieces’ and the songs that built their following two decades ago.
Both bands bring decades of catalog and hard-won live credibility to this run, and the mutual admiration here is genuine. “They are a really important band to the scene, and their records just keep getting better,” Story Of The Year say of Silverstein, and that kind of honest respect tends to translate directly into how a tour actually feels from the floor. Camp Screamo has the right energy before a single note is played.
The tour runs through August 7, with additional festival appearances at Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach, Montreal and Orlando rounding out the full run.
