Poison The Well to Celebrate 25th Anniversary of ‘The Opposite of December’ with U.S. Tour
Chalk this up to yet another bit of nostalgia bait, but if you’re a fan of Poison The Well‘s 1999 album The Opposite of December… A Season of Separation, you’re gonna be stoked about the following announcement. Starting next April, the band will be touring the U.S. and playing that album in full each night and they’re bringing some heavy hitters along for the 17-date run.
Set to kick off on April 4 in Los Angeles and coming to a close on April 29 in Toronto, the tour will also feature supporting sets from Glassjaw, Better Lovers, and Teenage Wrist on most dates.
Speaking of the tour and the importance of The Opposite of December, Poison The Well’s Jeff Moreira said it was exciting to be able to revisit such a classic metalcore album so many years later.
“For me, The Opposite of December… represents everything I absorbed as a teenager: the shows, the music, the raw energy of hardcore and punk. I never imagined that record would still resonate 25 years later. Seeing people continue to connect with it inspires me every day, and I’m so grateful for the opportunities this band has given me. This upcoming tour is so much more than just a series of shows. It’s a celebration of that record, its impact, and the journey we’ve shared together. We’ve worked hard to make it special in every way — from the lineup, featuring Glassjaw, Better Lovers, and Teenage Wrist, to the merch, the setlist, and the production. It’s all about honoring The Opposite of December… and the listeners who’ve supported us through the years.
“For this to be our first tour in 15 years feels unreal. I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone in April. Open the door for your friend.”
