Poison the Well Announce 25th Anniversary Tour
On December 3rd, Poison the Well announced an epic 25th anniversary tour to support their Decemeber 1999 album The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation with special guests Glassjaw, Better Lovers, and Teenage Wrist beginning on April 4th in LA and ending on April 29th in Toronto.
This album was the benchmark of the genre that inspired a generation of bands. It was chosen as the 5th “90’s Metalcore Albums That Still Resonate Today” by Brooklyn Vegan, "21 Best U.S. Metalcore Albums of All Time" by Kerrang!; as one of the "25 Best Metalcore Albums of All Time" by Loudwire; and as one of the "Top 60 Best Hard Rock Albums of All Time" by Revolver. The influence of this remarkable album is indisputable and will continue to inspire bands for decades.
"For me, The Opposite of December... represents everything I absorbed as a teenager: the shows, the music, the raw energy of hardcore and punk. I never imagined that record would still resonate 25 years later. Seeing people continue to connect with it inspires me every day, and I'm so grateful for the opportunities this band has given me. This upcoming tour is so much more than just a series of shows. It's a celebration of that record, its impact, and the journey we've shared together. We've worked hard to make it special in every way — from the lineup, featuring Glassjaw, Better Lovers, and Teenage Wrist, to the merch, the setlist, and the production. It's all about honoring The Opposite of December... and the listeners who've supported us through the years.
For this to be our first tour in 15 years feels unreal. I can't wait to celebrate with everyone in April. Open the door for your friend."
