The Format has also announced a series of intimate acoustic duo shows in December, where they will be partnering with food banks in each city to support hunger relief during the holiday season. The band encourages fans to bring non-perishable food donations to each show, with $5 from every ticket sold going towards local charities. Tickets for all shows will be available for purchase on November 15 at 12PM local time. The band will be performing in Rochester, NY, Cleveland, OH, St. Paul, MN, and Tucson, AZ with special support acts at each location.
Produced by Brendan O’Brien, Boycott Heaven is The Format’s first album in nearly two decades and features O’Brien on bass and drummer Matt Chamberlain. The record showcases the band’s alt-rock, grunge, and power-pop influences that have shaped their music since their teenage years in Arizona. The album is a blend of protest songs, rock anthems, and heartfelt tributes to family and friendship, reflecting the growth and maturity of both Ruess and Means since their earlier work together.
Following a successful series of sold-out reunion shows, The Format has announced their Boycott Heaven Spring 2026 North American Tour. The tour will feature support from Ben Kweller, Phantom Planet, Piebald, Adult Mom, and Limbeck, with proceeds from ticket sales supporting organizations focused on fighting food insecurity and aiding local animal shelters.
Regarding the acoustic shows planned for December, Nate Ruess expressed his excitement to reconnect with fans in a more intimate setting while giving back to the community. The decision to donate a portion of ticket sales to local food banks and charities is a way for the band to show appreciation to their fans and make a positive impact during the holiday season.
The Format’s upcoming tour dates include stops in Washington, DC, Rochester, NY, Cleveland, OH, St. Paul, MN, and Tucson, AZ, followed by their North American tour in the spring of 2026. Their return to the music scene has been highly anticipated by fans, and these upcoming shows offer a unique opportunity to experience The Format’s music in a more stripped-down acoustic setting.
