The Warped Tour only comes but once a year, so if you’re missing your fix of emo in the Midwest, here’s a chance to get a winter dose: The Academy Is… will be touring in February and March with Panic! at the Disco on the Truckstops and Statelines Tour. The tour kicks off in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Feb. 1 and criss-crosses the country before a final show in TAI’s hometown of Chicago on March 25. Acceptance and hellogoodbye round out the bill.
The Academy Is… was just named SPIN.com Band of the Month for November (read more), while Panic! took that honor for October (read more).
