“When we started playing songs together in a basement in Rockville, Maryland, in 1996, we had big dreams of being a real deal touring band. We imagined playing our songs throughout the country, living life on the road, telling our stories to the world,” O.A.R. frontman Marc Roberge said. "The fact we've gotten to live that life for the last 30 years is a testament to the power of our audience. This tour is our way of saying thank you – to every fan who made our dreams come true. We can't wait to see each and every one of you out there on the ‘Three Decades Tour.’ ”

Featuring all of the band’s career-defining hits and a dynamic lineup of special guests including Gavin DeGraw and KT Tunstall at Artpark, plus Phantom Planet and Lisa Loeb on select dates, the milestone tour will bring O.A.R.’s renowned live show to amphitheaters, arenas and landmark venues across the U.S. Watch the band’s tour announcement video here.
