SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4) — Dashboard Confessional is heading out on the road this fall, with a stop at The Complex on Oct. 15.

The band will be joined by special guests Boys Like Girls and Taylor Acorn. General sale starts Friday, April 5, at 10 a.m. local time.

The tour will take Dashboard Confessional to 28 cities across the U.S. This year, the group will also be playing the “Once More with Feeling(s) The Dashboard Confessional Emo Superjam” at the Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, TN, among other festival performances.

Dashboard Confessional was initially started as an acoustic solo project by singer-songwriter and guitarist Chis Carrabba. With the release of the 2000’s raw album The Swiss Army Romance, he soon took the world of emo rock by storm.

The following album, The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most, found Carrabba joined with additional instrumentation. It included the breakthrough hit “Screaming Infidelities” and was certified Gold by the RIAA, selling over 500,000 copies in the U.S.

Growing a strong fanbase over the years, the band almost came to a halt following a near-fatal motorcycle accident Carrabba faced in the summer of 2020.

Despite the challenges that came along with Carrabba’s recovery, including needing to relearn the guitar, Dashboard Confessional returned strong. In 2022, they released their ninth and most recent stuido album, All the Truth That I Can Tell, which features emotional and reflective pieces such as “Here’s To Moving On” and “Burning Heart”.
