The Fray Announce The Summer of Light Tour
(Live Nation) Multi-Platinum band The Fray announces the Summer of Light Tour, featuring special guests Dashboard Confessional, Colony House, The Strumbellas and Brother Elsey on select dates.
The North American tour, promoted by Live Nation, kicks off on May 11th in Moncton, New Brunswick, with stops across Canada and the U.S. in Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, Kansas City, Minnesota, Los Angeles, San Diego, Austin, Atlanta, Boston, and more before wrapping up on August 29 in Chicago, IL.
"We have such great memories of touring in the summer. The vibe for us and for the fans is something that we've all really connected with and had a good time with over the history of The Fray," Wysocki says. "Getting these new songs in front of people is going to be exciting.
The tour supports The Fray's upcoming album, A Light That Waits, arriving March 13. The record marks the band's first full-length release in years and ushers in a renewed creative chapter defined by emotional clarity, cinematic songwriting, and the timeless sound that has connected The Fray to fans around the world for more than two decades. The album's title track, "A Light That Waits," is available now, offering a powerful first look at the band's next era.
Written by Joe King (lead vocals), Ben Wysocki (drums), Dave Welsh (guitar), and producer Jason Suwito, the title track holds special significance as the first song born from a full collaboration between the three band members since their return.
"This was the first moment where the three of us were writing from scratch," says King. "We were in Ben's studio in Denver, just trying to discover something... All of a sudden, it was clear: this is a light that waits. But it took us being in the room, listening to ourselves and to one another, to really find the song. And that's what's beautiful about being a band."
