2 min read
The Fray have announced the Autumn of Light Tour, featuring special guests to be announced soon. The European tour kicks off on 27 October in Poland, with stops across Germany, Sweden, France, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, and more before wrapping up in November in the UK, with dates in Bristol, London, Glasgow, and Manchester.
The tour will support “A Light That Waits”, the band’s first full-length release in years and ushers in a renewed creative chapter defined by emotional clarity, cinematic songwriting, and the timeless sound that has connected The Fray to fans around the world for more than two decades.
Rising to prominence in the early 2000s, The Fray introduced a soul-searching alt-rock sound that was both expansive and intimate. Over the course of their career, the band has earned four GRAMMY Award nominations, three Billboard Music Awards, multiple Billboard Top 10 hits, and a devoted global fanbase. Their breakout single, “How to Save a Life,” is RIAA Diamond-certified, spent 58 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, and became a defining anthem through its association with ABC’s Emmy-winning series Grey’s Anatomy.
Additional milestone news arrived this week as their breakthrough album How to Save a Life was newly certified 5X Platinum by the RIAA, further proof that the band’s catalog continues to resonate with longtime listeners and new fans alike.
With more than two decades of hits together, Joe King, Ben Wysocki, and Dave Welsh are also accomplishing something new on this project, co-writing all 11 tracks together for the first time as a band. That includes their current single “Ice Cold Lakes,” which they performed this week on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
