Sunny Day Real Estate 2024 U.S. tour dates and venues
Sunny Day Real Estate released their debut studio album, Diary, on May 10, 1994, via Sub Pop Records. The album failed to chart but was well-received by critics and fans, leading it to become one of the best-selling albums for the label in the years following its release.
Sunny Day Real Estate is now embarking on a tour to celebrate the album's 30th anniversary. In their announcement statement for the tour, the band elaborated on the impetus behind the upcoming shows, stating:
"Not only are we excited to announce a US tour of the record in its entirety, we thought it would be fun to re-record the full album live in-studio as a better representation of how we play the songs now as we’ve evolved as musicians. Recorded at London Bridge Studio in Seattle."
