After a performance from country superstar Deirks Bentley last spring, SCOPE has switched gears and locked in a pair of mainstream rock bands to come to town at the end of October and early November.
Taking Back Sunday, and Third Eye Blind will be performing in the IMU main lounge. Taking Back Sunday, with special guests Anberlin, fun, and Gavin Castleton will premier on October 29th. Taking Back Sunday, a well known band from New York City featuring a melodic alternative rock sound will bring their tour through the heart of the University of Iowa's campus. Their albums include 'Louder Now," "Where You Want To Be," and most recently "New Again" make up the bands discography. Both their earlier albums rose to the top 5 on the U.S. Billboard charts, and have sold almost a million copies put together.
Less than a week later on November second, Third Eye Blind will make their way into the Main Lounge of the IMU. The band made a name for themselves with the release of their first album back in the latter 90s with their album self-titled "Third Eye Blind." Their most well known songs include "How's It Going to Be," "Juniper," "Never Let You Go," "Don't Believe a Word," and "Bonfire." Their discography consists of their mentioned first album, "Blue," and "Ursa Major." "Blue" is their only platinum album in which over 140,000 copies were sold within the first month.
Tickets for both concerts are available at the IMU box office, or at Ticketmaster.
