We think about a 3 Doors Down tour and we dream about it all the time.
Starting June 14 and stretching all the way to Sept. 23, the dream will become a reality when the alt-rockers launch their ‘Away From The Sun Anniversary Tour’ celebrating their sophomore album released in late 2002.
“’Away From the Sun’ has always been a personal favorite of mine because of how much it resonated with our country’s service members,” 3 Doors Down’s Brad Arnold told Loudwire.
“The show we’re planning will be next level.”
For fans in the northeast, be sure to circle Wednesday, June 28 on your calendars too — that’s when the band will drop into Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center.
And if waiting for tickets is your “Kryptonite,” we’re here to save the day.
Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, March 21, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.
They’ll be joined by grunge rockers Candlebox on all dates.

3 Doors Down special guest
At all shows, Candlebox will open for Brad Arnold and co.
The group, originally from Seattle, is known for their heavy ballads like “Far Behind,” “You” and “Cover Me.”
Fans that haven’t caught up with the group in a while may want to look into their 2021 album “Wolves.”
Over the course of 11 tracks, the band rocks hard, shreds guitar solos and even has a few moments of earnest introspection.
You can listen to “Wolves” here.
