Fresh off their incredibly successful album release Better Days (produced by Travis Barker), their #1 Alt Rock single, “Better Days,” and the mega Maximum Fun Tour with A Day To Remember, Yellowcard have announced a massive North American outing this summer and are bringing some friends along – The Up Up Down Down Tour will include both New Found Glory and Plain White T’s. The tour visits Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre on Wednesday, May 13 at 7 p.m.
Yellowcard, who’s emotionally charged catalog – including the era-defining hit “Ocean Avenue” and their latest single “Better Days” off their album of the same name, has seen a new round of success this past fall while they continue to resonate with fans all over the world, including new ones. The tour marks an exciting union of three of the most beloved alt rock bands.
Ryan Key lead singer of Yellowcard says, “Every time we think this part of our career couldn’t possibly get any better, somehow it does. The Up Up Down Down Tour arrives summer 2026 and celebrates more than two decades of friendship with New Found Glory and Plain White T’s. We already know this will be one of the most special tours we’ve ever been a part of. Ocean Avenue, My Friends Over You, AND Hey There Delilah at the same show?!”
