Poison the Well Announce 25th Anniversary Tour with Better Lovers, Glassjaw + more

Its influence is indisputable. Today, the band announced that it will embark on a 25th anniversary tour celebrating the album this spring. PTW will be be playing the beloved album in full every night, making it show not to be missed. Glassjaw, Better Lovers, and Teenage Wrist will serve as support.

“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,” says singer Jeff Moreira. “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.”
He finishes, “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.”
