Jackpot Juicer, released in 2022, marked a new era for DANCE GAVIN DANCE. An album that represents rejuvenated ambition and artistry clarity, Jackpot Juicer landed with impact: a record brimming with the post-hardcore essence fans have long loved from the band, packaged and delivered with new ferocity. For DANCE GAVIN DANCE, Jackpot Juicer is a touchstone moment. Their longest album to date, Jackpot Juicer is the final album to feature bassist Tim Feerick, who tragically passed away months before the album’s release. In the wake of such a loss, Jackpot Juicer is a celebration of a strong musical spirit, as it is an album that continues to build an ongoing legacy for DANCE GAVIN DANCE.
Jackpot Juicer, with its versatile moments of sonic empowerment, and its shades of vulnerability, reinforces DANCE GAVIN DANCE’s positioning as one of the genre’s most successful to do it. Having already scored four Top 20 albums in the U.S. (Jackpot Juicer peaking on the U.S. BILLBOARD 200 at #8), DANCE GAVIN DANCE have shown that despite the unpredictability of life around them, their shared love for the art has kept their vision alive, has made them stronger with each release.
The addition of NOTHING MORE to this tour purely elevates what is already set to be an unforgettable and energetic experience! The San Antonio quartet, unapologetic and unabashed when it comes to their live performances, returned to the forefront of many radars late 2022 with the release of their sixth studio album, Spirits. Praised for its unwavering focus and raucous delivery, Spirits served as a reminder of the importance of a band like NOTHING MORE for the rock world. Blending a sophisticated brand of angst with chaotic and unfiltered authenticism, NOTHING MORE’s music has rightly landed them on stages with everyone from Disturbed, Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach and more over the years.
And here with this Australian run, we’ll get to see these two dynamic forces join up for shows that simply cannot be missed!
