Underoath Announce June “Define The Great Line” 20th Anniversary Event In Tampa, FL
Underoath will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of “Define The Great Line” with a special mural and art event. Fans can check that out at the Rialto Theatre in Tampa, FL on June 20.
More information was shared in a press release:
“The event, taking place at Rialto Theatre from 5-10pm, will feature a one-of-a-kind mural installation created by the band, a gallery of merch from the ‘Define The Great Line’ era, and early access to purchase new merchandise including a limited edition t-shirt. Attendees can also enjoy complimentary bourbon cocktails featuring the Underoath Rare Character Bourbon batch, free DGTL-inspired flash tattoos by Seven Reapers Tattoo, and music from Metavari.”
Vocalist Spencer Chamberlain commented:
“’Define the Great Line’ was never just an album to me. It was a world I was building in my head through lyrics and sketches long before the songs were finished. I was dealing with a lot and didn’t always know how to put it into words.
This event is really personal for me. ‘Define the Great Line’ has always lived beyond just the music. It started in my lyric book, in sketches and ideas, in lyrics that never had a proper home until now. At the ‘Define the Great Line’ 20th anniversary event, we’ll be displaying a mural based on my hand-drawn art and lyrics, including some lyrics that didn’t make the record.
Getting to take those original drawings and lyrics and turn them into a massive, one-of-a-kind, 30-foot mural with the band and Greater Public Studio has been surreal. This mural is the first time all of that has come together in a physical way. Every part of it is pulled from those original ideas and drawings and brought to life with the band and Greater Public Studio as a true one-of-one piece of art.
It feels like bringing that era to life in a way we’ve never done before. It’s a really meaningful way to celebrate the record, and we’ve got some rare merch featuring the artwork that makes the whole experience even more special. It’s going to be a special moment for anyone who connects with that record the way we do.”

The Gathering’s “Mandylion” lineup, vocalist Anneke Van Giersbergen, bassist Hugo Prinsen Geerligs, keyboardist Frank Boeijen, drummer Hans Rutten, guitarist René Rutten, and guitarist Jelmer Wiersma, will be playing their last anniversary show at AFAS Live in Amsterdam, NET on January 16. The set will also find them celebrating “Nighttime Birds.”
The group commented:
“On Saturday, January 16, 2027, we will perform an exclusive show at AFAS Live in Amsterdam to conclude our 30th anniversary tour for ‘Mandylion.’ After 29 shows around the world with the original lineup, this will be the final celebration of this special tour.
During this evening, we will not only celebrate ‘Mandylion,’ but also shine a spotlight on ‘Nighttime Birds,’ which will likewise mark its 30th anniversary in 2027. With ‘Nighttime Birds,’ we continued the musical journey that began with ‘Mandylion.’ The two albums are inextricably linked and together represent an important chapter in our creative evolution as a band. The songs on these records still hold a special meaning for us—and for many of you.
This will be a unique evening dedicated to both albums and the journey we have shared with you over the past 30 years.
Tickets go on sale Friday, June 19 at 10:00 AM.
Together, we will make it an unforgettable night!”

Hoobastank Premiere “How Do You Sleep?” Video
Hoobastank have released a new song titled “How Do You Sleep?.” A music video can be found below:
Vocalist/guitarist Doug Robb commented:
“I feel good about releasing new music. It’s kind of like a creative ‘pressure valve’ has been opened. Howard Benson‘s enthusiasm was a big part of opening it for us. He gave us direction but also a lot more freedom than he may have previously.”
Producer Howard Benson added:
“It was a trip back in time, and a look to the future when the band arrived to play their new music for me. We have had stops and starts working together for years, but this time they brought not one or two songs, but a plethora of great material! I was so taken by the strength of vision and musicality I was hearing that I booked studio time as we were listening so as not to lose the momentum!”
