Algernon Cadwallader 2025 tour: Presale code, dates, venues, and more explored

It has been more than a decade since Algernon Cadwallader released a new studio album. In 2025, the emo band is officially making a full-fledged return.

The Bucks County, Pennsylvania-based group has officially announced their third LP, Trying Not to Have a Thought, which is slated to be released on September 12, 2025, via Saddle Creek. Alongside the release, the band will kick off a 30-date North American tour in November 2025.

Algernon Cadwallader was formed in 2005. The group became a significant act for the 2010s emo revival movement. Their beloved albums, Some Kind of Cadwallader (2008) and Parrot Flies (2011), made them underground favorites before the band broke up in 2012. They reunited in 2022 for a series of live shows.

Algernon Cadwallader shared the album and tour announcement via an official Instagram post, which read:

"🌋TODAY! NOW!! NEW MUSIC BY ALGERNON CADWALLADER!!! Dearest mutants and gentlefolk, we are exulted to announce our first album in 14 years coming September 12th on Saddle Creek Records!
