Post-hardcore luminaries Letlive have announced their first live tour since January 2017.
The California outfit, fronted by Fever 333 mainman Jason Aalon Butler, have reunited to tour North America, Europe, the UK and Australia from June to November.
The shows include numerous festival performances, namely 2000 Trees in the UK, Impericon in Germany, Jera Open Air in the Netherlands, and Vans Warped Tour and Louder Than Life in the USA. They join the band’s previously announced set at When We Were Young in Las Vegas on October 18.
See all announced dates below.
Joining Butler in the reactivated Letlive are returning guitarists Jean Nascimento and Jeff Sahyoun, as well as new members Skyler Acord on bass and Sage Webber on drums. The band say fans should expect a setlist that “spans their celebrated discography”, which started with 2005 debut Speak Like You Talk to and seemingly concluded with 2016’s If I’m The Devil….
Butler comments: “I think this is all happening out of necessity. The boys and I have expressed our need to play Letlive music again based on where we are in our lives individually and how the collective spiritual theme between us has aligned.
“Also, if you'll allow me to be presumptuous – I believe the world could use the love. Besides, soul punx never dies.”
Nascimento adds: “We came from a time of building an audience in grassroots venues. I am grateful to be able to enter a new chapter of Letlive, where our life experiences in the past few years can offer a new and exciting experience for our fans.”
Sahyoun says: “Letlive represents a part of my life that refuses to be silenced. Coming back to it feels like fulfilling a calling – one that reminds me of why I ever started all of this in the first place.”
Letlive originally formed in 2002 and found critical acclaim with their energetic live performances and genre-smashing music. They announced their split in April 2017, saying, “A divergence in views and aims has developed within the camp.”
The build-up to Letlive’s return started last April, when they announced their intention to give fans the farewell tour they never got. “We shouldn’t have left you without one final dope beat to step to. Two-thousand and twenty-five,” they wrote on social media.
Whether Letlive will make new music together remains to be seen.
