The upcoming North American trek of The Academy Is… (TAI), Bill & Trav’s Bogus Journey Tour, is a multi-artist bill featuring We The Kings, Carolina Liar and Hey Monday. It kicks off on October 1 in Charlotte, NC, and after 41 club and ballroom shows wraps on November 23 in Buffalo, NY.
Presale tickets were offered first to TAI fan club members on August 19; additional presale tickets will be available via the band’s Web site. All remaining tickets will then go on sale to the general public on August 23.
The group will be promoting its album, “Fast Times at Barrington High,” which was released on August 19. It features the first single, “About A Girl,” which is being circulated on radio outlets nationwide.
Having just co-headed the Vans Warped Tour, TAI will next hit Australia and New Zealand in late August with Panic At The Disco and Cobra Starship. From there, the band heads to Japan for a pair of Decaydance Fest shows alongside Cobra Starship, The Cab, and The Hush Sound. In September, TAI will cross the Atlantic for a number of UK dates with We The Kings and The Maine.
