Candlebox Announce ‘The Long Goodbye’ Farewell Tour
Candlebox have announced details of their 30th-anniversary celebration and farewell tour. ‘The Long Goodbye Tour 2023’, which kicks off on 10 June and runs through to 23 September, will feature a career retrospective of the band’s extensive eight studio album catalogue.
The farewell tour dates, alongside Candlebox’s support dates with 3 Doors Down on their ‘Away From The Sun’ Anniversary Tour, will hit amphitheaters in major markets across the U.S. Candlebox will also perform with legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd on Friday, May 5 at Frank Brown Park in Panama City, Florida.
To celebrate, Candlebox will offer VIP meet-and-greet packages at each 3 Doors Down date, including a ticket, early entry, photo with the band, and merchandise. Tickets for ‘The Long Goodbye Tour 2023 go on sale on 31 March at the band’s official website.
In addition to Candlebox’s ‘The Long Goodbye’ tour, the band — which now includes Kevin Martin, Brian Quinn, Adam Kury, Island Styles, and BJ Kerwin — is working on a final studio album with producer Don Miggs. It will be released later this year by Round Hill Records.
Additionally, a feature-length documentary, “Far Behind: The Candlebox Story”, is in the works for the group. Executive produced by Guy Oseary and Amy Decker and co-produced by Warner Music Entertainment (WME),the television and film division of Warner Music Group, and Highway West Entertainment, the film will explore the beginnings of what the world would come to know as the grunge scene, following Candlebox on their rise to fame.
Candlebox has sold over seven million albums worldwide, scoring the megahits Far Behind and You, which have garnered over 100 million streams, decades after their initial release. The band’s latest album, Wolves made the top 10 on two Billboard charts (Hard Music Albums and Alternative Albums).
