Be Your Own Pet are back, and they’re bringing the full debut with them. The Nashville punk favorites have announced a 14-date US tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, running across three legs this summer and fall. Tickets for select dates go on sale Friday, May 15 at 10 AM local time.
The format is two sets per night, and the band is making it count. “We’re gonna do this a little different and play the first album in its entirety, the good, the bad, the lazy, and the ugly, and then a second set of all our favs from the other albums,” the band shared. Show-only merch described as “extra special and rare” will also be available exclusively at each date.
The run opens in July across the South and Southwest, hitting San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, and Nashville. September brings a West Coast leg through Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego. October closes things out on the East Coast with stops in Durham, Washington D.C., New York, and Philadelphia.
Be Your Own Pet first reunited in 2022 after 15 years away, a return that quickly gathered momentum and led to ‘Mommy’ in August 2023, their third album and first new music in over a decade. This tour adds another chapter to what has become a full-on comeback.
The self-titled debut remains a raw, urgent snapshot of a band operating on pure instinct, and hearing it performed front to back is the kind of live experience that doesn’t come around often.
