Silverstein and Story of the Year Link Up for Camp Screamo Summer Tour

Silverstein and Story of the Year have been friends for over twenty years. They came up in the same scene, played the same festivals, crossed paths constantly. And somehow, they've never toured the US together. That changes this summer.

The Camp Screamo Tour kicks off July 12 in Asbury Park, NJ and runs through August 7 in Buffalo, NY. Sixteen dates across the country with Origami Angel opening the whole thing. I'll be real, this is one of the most stacked post-hardcore bills of the summer.

Both Bands Are Riding Serious Momentum

Silverstein just came off one of the biggest years they've ever had. Their 25th anniversary in 2025 brought the ambitious double LP Antibloom / Pink Moon, with Antibloom dropping in February and Pink Moon following in September. Both records were written and recorded out in Joshua Tree, and honestly, you can hear the vastness in them. The whole project earned Antibloom a nomination for Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year at the 2026 Juno Awards. Their "25 Years Of Noise Tour" sold close to 110,000 tickets worldwide, a career high. A quarter century in and the band is peaking.

Story of the Year aren't slowing down either. Their eighth studio album A.R.S.O.N. (short for "All Rage, Still Only Numb") came out February 13, 2026 via SharpTone Records. Vocalist Dan Marsala has said the album has some of the heaviest songs the band has ever written alongside some of their biggest choruses. That's a bold claim for a band with a catalog as deep as theirs, but from what I've heard, it tracks. Expect new material from A.R.S.O.N. mixed with cuts from 2023's Tear Me to Pieces and all the classics.

The Name Says It All

"Camp Screamo." That's the kind of tour name that tells you exactly what you're walking into. Silverstein frontman Shane Told put it perfectly, calling the tour "nostalgic, loud, chaotic, fun, wild, emotional, slightly unhinged, sweaty, mildly dangerous, and a little irresponsible." He also confirmed the band is playing songs from every era, deep cuts included. If you've been waiting to hear something specific live, this might be your shot.

Story of the Year matched that energy in their statement, calling Silverstein "a really important band to the scene" whose records "just keep getting better and more inspiring." That kind of mutual respect between two co-headliners usually translates to both bands going all out every single night. Neither one is going to want to get shown up.

Origami Angel Is the Perfect Opener

The choice to bring Origami Angel along is smart. The Washington, D.C. duo of Ryland Heagy and Pat Doherty have carved out their own lane blending emo's emotional core with mathy precision and pop-punk speed. Albums like Somewhere City and Gami Gang established them as one of the most exciting acts in the modern emo space. They're going to set the tone perfectly for what comes after.

Full Tour Dates

Silverstein also has additional festival appearances at Vans Warped Tour in Montreal (August 21-22) and Orlando (November 14-15).

Get Your Tickets

General on-sale is Friday, April 10 at 10 a.m. local time. This lineup of rooms is excellent. Venues like Mission Ballroom, Stone Pony Summer Stage, and White Oak Music Hall are the kind of spots where these shows are going to sound incredible. Mid-size rooms where you can actually feel the energy.

Honestly, the fact that these two bands have never done a US tour together until now is kind of crazy. They're both over twenty years deep, both putting out some of their strongest material right now, and both have fanbases that grew up screaming along to these songs in their bedrooms. If you haven't seen either of them live yet, this is the one. And if you have, you already know. Don't sleep on tickets.
