Thursday are back.
After teasing their return with a series of social media posts the post-hardcore band, who split back in 2011, have been confirmed for Atlanta’s Wrecking Ball festival, alongside the similarly reunited Piebald.
Thursday will line up as Geoff Rickly, Tom Keeley, Tim Payne, Tucker Rule, Steve Pedulla and Andrew Everding for the show, and plan to donate some proceeds from Wrecking Ball to SisterSong, an Atlanta-based reproductive justice collective for women of colour. Rickly said:
"Five years ago, we found it necessary to end Thursday for reasons beyond our control. Earlier this year, we were able to reconcile all of our differences and spend time together. This is a vital component to what we loved about being in Thursday and we're happy to say that we'll be playing this show as the same line-up that began touring together on 'Full Collapse' and jointly worked on every record since."
Also set to appear, meanwhile, are Quicksand, L7, Drive Like Jehu, American Football, the Julie Ruin and Motion City Soundtrack, who are soon going to bid farewell.
