Legendary rock band O.A.R. is hitting the road for the O.A.R Three Decades Tour, celebrating 30 years of music and memories. To kick things off, they’ve just released a new single, “Where We Are Right Now,” available on all streaming platforms. This track showcases their signature heartfelt lyrics and upbeat energy, perfectly capturing their journey as they embark on this milestone tour.
Frontman Marc Roberge shared, “When we started playing in a basement in Rockville, Maryland in 1996, we dreamed of being a real touring band. We wanted to share our songs across the country and tell our stories. Living that dream for 30 years is thanks to our amazing fans. This tour is our way of saying thank you, and we can’t wait to see everyone out there!”
The tour will feature all of O.A.R.’s biggest hits and a lineup of special guests, including Gavin DeGraw, Phantom Planet, Lisa Loeb, and KT Tunstall. It kicks off on June 19 in Vail, CO, at the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater and will stop at iconic venues like The Greek Theatre and Red Rocks.
Tickets for the tour will go on sale starting with an artist presale on Tuesday, November 4 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by general sales on Friday, November 7 at 10 a.m. local time. For more details, check out LiveOAR.com/Tour.
