Taking Back Sunday

Taking Back Sunday are an influential American group whose deft blend of emo songwriting and fervent live performances have marked them out as genre mainstays since their formation at the close of the 20th century. Their latest album, 152, released in October 2023, sees the band continuing to forge new territory within the emo landscape while remaining true to the raw honesty that has resonated with fans worldwide.

Their presence on the live music circuit remains as vital as ever, demonstrated by recent gigs across the UK and Ireland. In May 2026, Taking Back Sunday headlined venues such as Limelight in Belfast and The Academy in Dublin, and supported Good Charlotte at both the Hatfield and Leeds editions of Slam Dunk Festival. Their set amongst acclaimed acts underlines their enduring appeal and the loyalty they command from both peers and audiences alike. The band’s compelling live shows have become synonymous with the energy and emotion at the core of their music.

Looking ahead, Taking Back Sunday will be supporting My Chemical Romance at Black Parade – The UK’s Biggest Emo Night, with performances scheduled at prominent venues including O2 Ritz Manchester and O2 Academy Liverpool through autumn and winter 2026.
