Yellowcard's Ryan Key Reflects on Band's Surprising Comeback and Upcoming Performance at ALTer Ego Festival

Yellowcard, a prominent rock group that disbanded in 2016, has surprisingly reformed and is making a significant comeback. Vocalist and guitarist Ryan Key openly discussed the band's unexpected revival and their initial trepidation towards embarking on a headlining tour. The band, unaccustomed to larger venues, queued up for an impressive lineup including a 5,500-capacity amphitheater in Jacksonville, a stark contrast to previous gigs at the 1,100-capacity Mavericks club. Despite their fears, the band witnessed rapid sell-outs, proving a robust and enduring fan base.

A Triumphant Return to the Stage

Yellowcard's successful reunion was punctuated by an outstanding performance at Riot Fest in Chicago, with the band's future currently being taken step by step, without any long-term commitments. They are set to play alongside Paramore and other notable bands at the ALTer Ego fest at the Honda Center in Anaheim, creating a thrilling lineup of talent for fans.

Renewed Music and Performance

The reformation also brought new music from Yellowcard in the form of a fresh EP, 'Childhood Eyes,' rekindling the band's earlier sound known for its upbeat and hopeful energy. With a renewed joy in crafting songs, the band is ready to exhibit a level of performance maturity that contrasts sharply with their earlier tours, promising fans a refined and engaging show experience.

Performance Details

The upcoming ALTer Ego festival is scheduled for January 13, with performances from Yellowcard among other headlining bands. Tickets for the event range from $180-$650, available through Ticketmaster.
