About Thursday
Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | Spotify

Thursday are a band from New Brunswick, New Jersey. Formed in 1998 and with world-wide album sales in the millions, the band has released six critically acclaimed albums. Their September 2003 Island Def Jam record ‘War All The Time’ is considered one of the pivotal and most influential post-hardcore albums of the aughts. The story of the record and the major label feeding frenzy of the period that saw Thursday, Green Day, At The Drive In, Blink 182 and My Chemical Romance all getting signed was documented in Dan Ozzi’s New York Times best-selling book ‘Sellout’ of which a picture of Thursday graced the front cover.

After a monumental 2022 that saw Thursday play main support to My Chemical Romance in sold out arenas all the way from Barclays Center in Brooklyn to The Forum in Los Angeles and embarking on their own 45 date sold out club and theatre tour (with the mighty Cursive in tow) 2023 was supposed to be a year of rest for post-hardcore architects Thursday. Rhythm section Tucker Rule and Tim Payne released and toured their prolific L.S. Dunes album, Steve Pedulla remained highly sought after in the world of music videos and television producer, whilst vocalist Geoff Rickly not only toured the USA as a solo artist and internationally as a member of No Devotion but also released his debut (best-selling) novel in the interim. Despite all this, 2023 saw the band play select dates as co-headliner of the So What Festival as well as marquee appearances at the Adjacent, Furnace and Riot Festivals as well as headlines appearances with Sparta, Braid, Koyo and Gel in tow.

After the immense success of the 20th birthday party for their War All The Time record where they rented a classic Hudson River-Boat and invited 1,200 of their closest friends to join them (it sold out in minutes) in sailing from Harlem to the historic Palisades Cliffs This maiden voyage was then complemented by a packed to the gills performance of War All The Time at Starland Ballroom. As they played the album in full, it was apparent they needed to do more.

Renowned for having their fingers on the pulse of creativity, Thursday has a long history of touring with ground breaking acts in tow. Coheed and Cambria, Thrice, Poison The Well, AFI, Portugal The Man, Murder By Death, Touche Amore, Bring Me The Horizon, Circa Survive and The Gaslight Anthem have all been invited to share stages with them in the past, so it was of utmost importance to invite only the finest of friends and the best of bands to accompany them on the 21st Birthday Tour for War All The Time.
