Dayseeker announce UK & European headline tour in Nov/Dec 2024
‘Replica’ acoustic album out digitally this Friday via Spinefarm
with the physical out 14th June:
Dayseeker have announced their biggest UK and European headline tour to date at the end of this year, with tickets on sale today. Support will come from Rain City Drive and Heart Of Gold. See below for details.
The Southern Californian outfit - Rory Rodriguez [vocals], Gino Sgambelluri [guitar], Ramone Valerio [bass], and Zac Mayfield [drums] - recently wrapped up a mammoth run of the UK and Europe with Pierce The Veil on which they wowed audiences with their poignantly emotive and meaningfully heavy stylings.
The announcement of this tour comes on the eve of the release of Dayseeker’s ‘Replica’ acoustic album, which is out digitally this Friday via Spinefarm with the physical following on 14th June. You can stream the tracks which are out already, pre-save the album and pre-order the physical here. The stripped down, intimate renditions of familiar fan favorites highlight the band's songcraft and allow the listener to experience Dayseeker in an entirely new way.
‘Replica’ is the somewhat unexpected (yet welcomed) result of a specific gig in 2022, when the band's gear overheated at Blue Ridge Rock Festival. Thinking on his feet, Rodriguez grabbed an acoustic guitar from the van, plugged in, and performed ‘Without Me.’ Soon, he had pulled together a five-song set on the fly as thousands of fans flocked to the stage. "I felt like we let people down, but I had so many friends say, 'Everyone will remember the day your equipment stopped working and you still played the set as a really special moment’,'" he recalls. "It felt natural for our songs. We usually will do extra tracks for a Deluxe version or re-release, but we decided to commit to an entire acoustic album this time."
Dayseeker most recently revealed the video for their stripped down, intimate version of fan fave ‘Neon Grave.’ Watch it here. ’Replica’ also sees the band covering Evanescence with a touching rendition of ‘My Immortal’ which the originators themselves described as “gorgeous”. The collection also includes appearances from Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo, Holding Absence's Lucas Woodland (who was seen on stage with them on the recent PTV tour) and indie artist Amber DeLaRosa.
