The nostalgia train is always rolling through the music world, and 2025 promises to be a big year for anniversaries! Whether you’re a fan of pop-punk, emo, or alternative rock, there are a ton of iconic albums turning milestones that could use a proper celebration on the road. From 90s alt-rock to mid-2000s pop-punk, here are 10 Anniversary Tours We’d Love to See in 2025.
1. “That’s The Spirit” – Bring Me The Horizon (2015)
Celebrating 10 years since its release, That’s The Spirit saw Bring Me The Horizon make a bold leap from deathcore to more mainstream rock territory. With hits like “Drown” and “Sleepwalking,” the album marked a pivotal shift in their sound and brought them to a global audience. In 2025, we can’t think of a better way for fans to reconnect with this record than through a full-album anniversary tour.
Why We Need It: The band’s sound has evolved so much since That’s The Spirit, making this a unique opportunity to hear how their more experimental work holds up after a decade.
2. “Copacetic” – Knuckle Puck (2015)
Knuckle Puck’s debut album Copacetic solidified their place as one of the leading bands in the pop-punk revival scene of the 2010s. With tracks like “Disdain” and “No Good,” the album perfectly captured the angst of adolescence. An anniversary tour would give old-school pop-punk fans the chance to relive the raw energy of this classic, alongside Knuckle Puck’s newer material.
Why We Need It: Copacetic is the perfect blend of catchy hooks and emotional depth—exactly what we need to bring the pop-punk community together again in 2025.
3. “Based on a True Story” – The Starting Line (2005)
In 2025, we’ll be celebrating 20 years since The Starting Line dropped Based on a True Story—the album that became an instant pop-punk classic. Songs like “Best of Me” and “Island” are still staples of the genre. An anniversary tour would be a dream come true for long-time fans who’ve been waiting for the chance to see these songs played live one more time.
Why We Need It: The Starting Line’s emotionally charged lyrics paired with their energetic live performances would make for a nostalgia-filled set that fans will never forget.
4. “From Under The Cork Tree” – Fall Out Boy (2005)
If there’s one album that defined mid-2000s pop-punk, it’s From Under The Cork Tree by Fall Out Boy. Turning 20 in 2025, this album marked a cultural moment with its blend of witty lyricism, emo influence, and pop-punk anthems like “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “Dance, Dance.” A full-album anniversary tour would allow fans to revisit one of the defining records of their teenage years.
Why We Need It: From Under The Cork Tree was a defining record of the pop-punk/emo era, and the chance to experience it live in full would be a major milestone for fans everywhere.
5. “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” – Panic! At The Disco (2005)
Celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2025, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out was a groundbreaking record for Panic! At The Disco. From the cabaret-esque “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” to the more theatrical “The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage,” the album catapulted Panic! to stardom. A full-album tour would bring the band’s early sound back to life while also paying tribute to the influence this album had on emo, pop-punk, and beyond.
Why We Need It: A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out is one of the most beloved albums of the 2000s, and with Panic! At The Disco’s continued success, it’s the perfect time to revisit this era.
6. “Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys” – My Chemical Romance (2010)
While My Chemical Romance fans are still waiting for new music (seriously, it’s been 965 days), the 15th anniversary of Danger Days is the perfect excuse for a celebratory tour. The album may not have reached the level of its predecessor The Black Parade, but songs like “Na Na Na” and “Sing” cemented the band’s legacy as one of the most influential rock acts of the 2010s. A Danger Days anniversary tour would give fans the chance to experience the theatrical and colorful chaos of this record in its full glory.
Why We Need It: MCR’s return to touring has been highly anticipated for years, and Danger Days holds a special place in the hearts of fans who were hoping for something even more unique than The Black Parade.
7. “Garbage” – Garbage (1995)
1995 was a monumental year for alternative rock, and Garbage’s self-titled debut album is one of the most influential records to come out of that era. Songs like “Stupid Girl” and “Vow” still hold up today as the perfect mix of grunge, pop, and electronic. An anniversary tour celebrating Garbage would be a great opportunity to introduce a new generation to the band’s genre-defying sound.
Why We Need It: Garbage’s mix of styles was ahead of its time, and an anniversary tour would allow fans to experience this boundary-pushing album live for the first time.
8. “Future Hearts” – All Time Low (2015)
Future Hearts is the album that made All Time Low into household names in the pop-punk scene. Released in 2015, the album saw the band exploring a more polished, mainstream sound while still delivering the infectious hooks and fun anthems they were known for. An anniversary tour would be a perfect way to revisit hits like “Something’s Gotta Give” and “Kids in the Dark.”
Why We Need It: All Time Low has since cemented their status as pop-punk royalty, and seeing them perform Future Hearts in full would be a treat for fans who grew up with it.
9. “Plans” – Death Cab For Cutie (2005)
Released in 2005, Plans is one of Death Cab For Cutie’s most beloved albums, featuring hits like “I Will Follow You Into the Dark” and “Soul Meets Body.” A 20th-anniversary tour for this introspective masterpiece would allow fans to dive back into the melancholy yet hopeful world the band created. Plus, who wouldn’t want to hear “Someday You Will Be Loved” live again?
Why We Need It: Plans marked a turning point in Death Cab’s career, and a live celebration of the album would bring a new sense of reverence to the band’s catalog.
10. “Move Along” – The All-American Rejects (2005)
In 2025, Move Along will be 20 years old, and its timeless pop-punk anthem “Swing, Swing” is as anthemic as ever. From “Dirty Little Secret” to “It Ends Tonight,” the album remains one of the defining pop-punk albums of the mid-2000s. A 20th-anniversary tour would give fans the chance to sing along to these memorable tracks once again.
Why We Need It: Move Along is a perfect time capsule of 2005-era pop-punk, and seeing the band perform it live would bring back all those feelings of youthful defiance and joy.
2025 is shaping up to be a year of major anniversaries for some of the best albums in the pop-punk, emo, and alternative scenes. Whether it’s revisiting an album that shaped your teenage years or seeing your favorite band celebrate their legacy, these anniversary tours are bound to be something special.
