Morrison, CO – Wednesday, June 10, 2026: Arizona rock icons Jimmy Eat World kicked off their Bleed American 25th Anniversary World Tour on June 9th with a sold-out performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado.
Headliners at the renowned venue are known to push the envelope, and that’s exactly what the band did with a new production that showcased multiple eye-catching looks while they led fans on a musical journey playing Bleed American in full and beyond in a show arc that had never been performed before.
From the opening notes of Bleed American’s driving high-energy title track, they had fans singing along to every word. From there, Jimmy Eat World continued to play their career-defining album in order: “A Praise Chorus,” “The Middle,” an acoustic rendition of “Your House,” and “Sweetness” leading into the next half of the record with “Hear You Me” where fans illuminated the night sky with their phone lights and held each other close. The second act concluded with “If You Don’t, Don’t,” “Get It Faster,” “Cautioners,” “The Authority Song,” and “My Sundown.”
The crowd continued to buzz as the band transitioned into a mix of fan favorites and rarities from across their sprawling catalogue, a performance that reflected Jimmy Eat World’s ability to connect with audiences old and new while perfectly complementing the natural beauty and atmosphere of a venue like Red Rocks.
Red Rocks was promoted by AEG Presents Rocky Mountains.
The opening run of anniversary shows continue with a string of sold-out performances at Brooklyn Paramount, New York’s Pier 17, Skyline Stage in Philadelphia and MGM Music Hall in Boston.
