The Gin Blossoms is an American rock music band that was started in the year 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. The band became popular in the early 1990s, with the hits “Hey Jealousy” and “Found Out About You”. They disbanded in 1997 but later reunited to record and tour to this day. The Gin Blossoms are one of the most iconic bands of the 1990s, which contributed to the emergence of the bright subgenre of alternative rock.
Now in their fourth decade of existence, the Gin Blossoms' fans may be wondering if the band will stage live once more via a concert tour. To the best of my knowledge, there are no scheduled performances for the next months for the Gin Blossoms. Nonetheless, given the group's previous and present activities, it is anticipated that the band might undertake a tour the next year.
To honor their 1992 first album, New Miserable Experience, Gin Blossoms went on tour in 2018. With their 90s songs, the trio took the audience to the utmost joy on their fantastic tour, which saw most of the United States taken through. From then until 2019 and early 2020 before the COVID-19 epidemic stopped live events, the Gin Blossoms have been making selective and sporadic concert appearances and music festivals.
As constraints on the COVID-19 epidemic began to relax last summer, several musicians began to resume their tour activities with some degree of freedom and the Gin Blossoms also scheduled many events including in California as well as Arizona. It included outside relevant main county fairs and summer celebrations, which fit settings appropriate for the health limitations in place during the live events then. The enthusiastic on-stage presence of the band and their style of pop-rock amply showed how well they could captivate the audience even at this level. Critics as well as fans embraced them enthusiastically.
Based on the response elicited by those shows last year and the desire of music fans to attend live music events again after the disruption caused by the pandemic, everything appears to be set for the Gin Blossoms to get back on the road as they did before the pandemic in 2022. Despite such a scenario not being formal, long-time lovers of the Gin Blossoms are aware that the band has always embarked on random, last-minute tours throughout the band’s existence.
Certain circles within the music industry are speculating that a possible Gin Blossoms tour could take place ideally from spring through summer 2022. As it has been quite some time since the band has done a major tour on the roads perhaps the band will stick to the festival circuit as they did last year and release dates at various festivals over the summer months. The summer festival scene could use the star power and fan enthusiasm generated by an alternative rock mainstay like Gin Blossoms.
Of course, any plans for a Gin Blossoms tour will be contingent on the dynamics of the pandemic and the willingness of audiences to attend packed concert venues in an enclosed hall. However, aside from another surge in disruptive events affecting entertainment occasions, industry analysts’ forecasts indicate a continuous enhancement of audience confidence and consumption of live concerts as they step into 2022 out of winter. Other band members of Gin Blossoms must also be feeling that energy built up in them as the band has not been performing much in the past couple of years.
Whenever the Gin Blossoms finally decide to pull the trigger and go out on their next roadshow spectacular, fans will be greeted with sparkling guitar hooks and the earnest croon of Robin Wilson on such classics as Hey Jealousy, Found Out About You, Follow You Down, and Till I Hear From You. Mixed in could be some of the additional Gin Blossoms songs that have been released since the early nineties but are still familiar to the die-hard fans of the band. Of course, when you have such a rich discography behind you the options for a setlist are virtually limitless. One thing is however clear, the atmosphere will be that of California pop sunshine as the band performs their somber lyrics of love gained and lost.
The concerts are guaranteed to be fun-filled vocal extravaganzas and this can be in an open-air festival style or a conventional concert style. This, in my opinion, is what a Gin Blossoms concert is all about – being able to take fans away from the stress and hustle of life for just one night and party to some good, old tunes. One can only hope that 2022 is the year in which the Gin Blossoms start touring again and thus bring their magical tunes to the fans eager for good alt-rock music. No matter where the road takes them next, the band understands that fans will be ready to follow anytime the Gin Blossoms are ready to play those classic songs.
