The new tour announcement comes roughly two months after AFI dropped Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…, their twelfth studio album. Speaking about the album to Rolling Stone Australia, frontman Davey Havok quipped that he “didn’t know where we could go, that we hadn’t gone before.”

“It’s always necessary for us to be moving in that new and fresh direction, in order to be inspired by what we’re making,” Havok added. “In order for us to enjoy what we’re making, there has to be more. There has to be new feelings, and I didn’t know where they were going to come from.”

“My relationship with this album is very unique, and it’s hard for me to actually articulate,” he later explained. “I’ve never experienced creating any record where, after its creation, I can hear and listen to it as if I weren’t a part of its creation, and enjoy it fully.”

Havok also sat down for a lengthy interview on the HardLore podcast, discussing the band’s tenure in a two-part series. Watch part one HERE and part two HERE.

In August, AFI graced the cover of Alternative Press. Havok sat with AltPress Editor-In-Chief Anna Zanes to discuss the band’s legacy and the sonic shift of Silver Bleeds the Black Sun…
