This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Gin Blossoms’ 1992 album, New Miserable Experience. To commemorate this milestone, the rock band is taking their celebration on the road via their upcoming Celebrating 30 Miserable Years Tour. The Blossoms have also committed to play the full breakout album, as per a press statement, which includes the fan favorites “Hey Jealousy,” “Follow You Down,” and “Found Out About You.”

“It was hard to make NME, but we knew it was special,” lead vocalist Robin Wilson said regarding the anniversary of the album. “It’s humbling that it still resonates and we still have jobs in the music biz.”
“It’s funny how time slips away,” guitarist Jesse Valenzuela added in a statement. “We are still so proud that even after all these years the album still resonates with fans.”
The 30 city summer tour will kick off February 18 in Fort Pierce, Florida, and the band will wrap up the quick tour on March 12 in Little Rock, Arizona. If the stars don’t align and you can’t make the Celebrating 30 Miserable Years Tour, never fear, the Gin Blossoms are also going on tour with the Barenaked Ladies and Toad the Wet Sprocket starting on June 3.
