HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS have announced a headlining North American tour!

The Ohio-based rock band will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their acclaimed album If Only You Were Lonely with a special tour in 2026. The first leg kicks off on March 5th in Lexington, KY, and hits The Rave/Eagles Club in Milwaukee, WI on March 7th. It features support from LETLIVE. and CREEPER. Fans can expect the band to perform the entire album alongside a career-spanning setlist.

Speaking about the tour, frontman JT Woodruff shares, “the best thing about looking back on the last 20 years is that you can do it without the fear of the past, but with the reverence that comes with the time that has actually passed. I feel like all of the noise of that time period was drowned out by the panic and stress that we were living under, when creating If Only You Were Lonely. The pressure of creating a 2nd album was almost too much to enjoy the magic we were creating, or even thinking about it as magic at all. While the fans never saw anything going on behind the scenes, If Only You Were Lonely is a true tale of triumph and tragedy that changed our lives forever. It has all the haunting hallmarks of a fairy tale and horror movie, but rolled into a tightly wound package of true life chaos. During all of that chaos, we never gave up hope, which is why we are happy to finally do a tour of this magnitude, to show our fans that life is an experience that will challenge every single emotion that you are capable of.

That is how we are approaching the Lonely World Tour. We will be playing the entire album, with a career spanning setlist, that is a full-on rollercoaster ride designed to make you forget what you are going through alone, while hopping in the car so we can all go through it TOGETHER. Whether you are coming for a night of everlasting nostalgia, or prepared to exercise some lifelong demons, you will be in a room full of people who are ready to share this experience as life is supposed to be shared. TOGETHER.”
