Rock icons THE USED have announced their Australian 25th Anniversary Tour offering an unforgettable experience for fans, with three nights in each city across Australia featuring a full album playthrough of the music they created that shaped the sound of early 2000s alternative rock. The celebration will highlight their first three albums performed in full: their self-titled record The Used (2002), In Love And Death (2004) and Lies For The Liars (2007).

As the band reaches a quarter-century milestone, these records are largely regarded as highly influential, and it is no wonder each of them has been certified either platinum or gold by the RIAA in the US, and sold over 10 million albums worldwide.

The band is eternally grateful for the love and support of their fans throughout the years. Lead singer Bert McCracken, aka robbietheused, is “Overwhelmed! These first three records are what put The Used on the map. I can’t wait to experience the joy in playing all three records from front to back. I know it will be an amazing time. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Sending love to you all and I hope to see you there!”.
Bassist Jepha adds, “We feel extremely lucky and humbled to have been a part of something way bigger than ourselves for the past 25 years. To everyone that has been there from the beginning or is just starting out your adventure with us thank you. Here’s to the next 25!”.
Drummer Dan Whitesides shares: “We can’t wait to play all of these songs from the first three albums, they mean so much to us as we know they do to so many people.”

The Australian tour will be kicking off on Wednesday 13 August in Brisbane, before heading to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and closing out in Perth on Wednesday 3 September. Each city will be treated to three back-to-back evenings focusing on THE USED’s formative first three albums, as well as some extra hits, with night one featuring 2022’s self-titled album, The Used, night two featuring 2004’s In Love And Death, and night three featuring 2007’s Lies For The Liars, all played from start to finish at their respective shows in all five cities.

Regarded as one of the most important albums in the post-hardcore scene, THE USED’s self-titled 2002 album went on to influence a generation of artists, peaked at #63 on the Billboard 200 charts, and debuted at #34 on the ARIA Australian Albums charts. Certified platinum in the US and gold in Australia, The Used has been continually praised since release for its balanced mix of angst and beauty, towering craftsmanship and instrumentation, and a flawless outing from frontman Bert McCracken. An unfaltering landmark outing for THE USED, resoundingly celebrated for its infectious melodics, powerful beauty and emotion, and eclectic merging of punk, acoustic, metal, rock and beyond, The Used spawned iconic singles The Taste of Ink and Buried Myself Alive, while also kickstarting THE USED’s prolific legacy.

Off the back of an extensive touring schedule following the release of their debut full-length, THE USED returned to the studio with producer John Feldmann to conjure their sophomore studio album, 2004’s In Love And Death. Balancing crunchy riffs with creative dexterity, In Love And Death explanded on the polished yet primal tendencies introduced via The Used, and sent THE USED’s popularity into an entirely new stratosphere; one lined with heart-wrenching anthems, stirring melodics and plenty of spine-tingling heaviness. Across the board, soaring choruses meld with vulnerable lyrics and virtuosic guitar solos, with In Love And Death debuting at #6 on the Billboard 200, and once again reaching platinum and gold certification in the US and Australia respectively, while also igniting significant mainstream global appeal.

Released in 2007, THE USED’s third studio album, Lies For The Liars, went on to land at #5 on the Billboard 200 chart, debuted at #5 on the ARIA Albums charts, and also become the group’s fastest-selling album in the UK. A high octane collection of cinematic spectacles and captivating arrangements, Lies For The Liars dives head first into guitar-driven rock, balancing levity with sharp production, horror punk and experimental pop injections. With its single Pretty Handsome Awkward tapped to appear on Michael Bay’s 2007 Transformers soundtrack, which itself debuted at #21 on the Billboard 200 charts, Lies For The Liars burgeoned THE USED’s cultural impact, while also firmly reminding the world why THE USED were and still remain one of the most influential and important bands to emerge in the 2000s.
