Jimmy Eat World are set to play a huge outdoor show at London's Crystal Palace Bowl this Sunday, August 16, following shows in Halifax and Cardiff earlier in the week. NME published the full stage times: doors at 2pm, then sets from Jay Som, the Get Up Kids and Rise Against before Jimmy Eat World close the night at 8:30pm. NME calls it the band's biggest UK show to date.
The show marks the 25th anniversary of Bleed American, the Arizona band's classic fourth album, which they are performing in full on this run alongside rarities and hits from across their catalogue. The tour began at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado on June 9, where the band also played cuts from 1999's Clarity and 2004's Futures.
Support on this run comes from three acts across three distinct corners of rock: Jay Som's dreamy indie pop, the Get Up Kids' pop-punk pedigree from the same emo scene that produced Jimmy Eat World, and Rise Against's more aggressive melodic hardcore, giving the London bill a broad cross-section of the genres Bleed American helped bridge in 2001.
The anniversary shows follow the band's Something(s) Loud EP, a six-song release shared at the end of 2025 that paired new digital singles with the previously unreleased track "Failure." Jimmy Eat World's last full studio album was 2019's Surviving, tracked on the release calendar alongside this week's new rock news.
