THE LEAD: Arizona rock legends Jimmy Eat World are set to commemorate a quarter-century of their definitive fourth studio album with the massive Bleed American Tour 2026. Promoting a project that served as a blueprint for the 2000s alternative explosion, the band will embark on an extensive Live Nation-backed trek across North America and the U.K. The Jimmy Eat World Bleed American Tour 2026 is anchored by a high-production stadium and amphitheater run, alongside the band's historic return to the Vans Warped Tour stage for the first time in 25 years.

Kicking off June 9 at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the tour will see the quartet performing their platinum-selling masterpiece in its entirety. This milestone comes as the album’s breakout hit, “The Middle,” continues its cultural dominance, recently surpassing one billion streams.
