EVERCLEAR Kicks Off Sparkle and Fade 30th Anniversary Tour Tonight at Sold-Out Los Angeles Show

Los Angeles, CA – September 4, 2025 – Everclear, one of the leading alternative rock bands to emerge from the ‘90s led by vocalist, guitarist and founder Art Alexakis, officially kicks off the Sparkle and Fade 30th Anniversary Tour tonight (September 4th) in Los Angeles at a sold-out show at The Regent Theater. The 43-date headlining tour, featuring special guests Local H and Sponge, celebrates the 30th anniversary of Everclear’s platinum-selling, major-label debut album, Sparkle and Fade, which had a massive impact in 1995 with its chart-topping hit “Santa Monica.”

“It’s been really hard to get my head around the fact that it’s been 30 years since the release of Sparkle and Fade,” shares Alexakis. “It’s also kind of mind-boggling to understand how much of an impact this album has had on my life, the world around me, and from what I hear from fans all over the world, how much of an impact it has had on them too. Sparkle and Fade was not the first album I had made, but it was the album I had wanted to make my whole life. It changed everything for me and Everclear. Because of its success and lasting impact, this band has survived and prospered for three decades, and this tour is another way of us saying ‘thank you’ to all of the incredible fans – old and new. If you are a fan of this record, you do not want to miss this!”

Everclear’s Sparkle and Fade 30th Anniversary Tour will travel all over the U.S. this fall, with stops in San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Denver, Oklahoma City, Austin, Louisville, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Charlotte, Boston, New York (October 22nd at Irving Plaza), Washington, DC, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Minneapolis, among many others, before wrapping November 2nd in Chicago. Tickets are moving fast, with many dates already sold out. See below for full list of upcoming tour dates. Visit www.everclearmusic.com/tour for all details and to purchase tickets and VIP packages.

Since forming in 1992, Everclear has enjoyed a lengthy career by any measure, spanning 11 studio releases, including four that have been certified Gold or Platinum, selling over 6 million records, and achieving 12 Top 40 Hit Singles on Mainstream Rock, Alternative, and Adult Top 40 radio, including “Santa Monica,” “Father of Mine,” “I Will Buy You A New Life,” “Wonderful” and “Everything To Everyone,” as well as numerous videos, thousands of shows, and various other accolades, including a 1998 Grammy nomination. The band’s 1993 debut album, World Of Noise, released on the Portland independent label Tim/Kerr Records, paired with their significant efforts to break into college radio and the buzz they’d created within the Portland music scene, attracted the attention of major labels, including Capitol Records, which signed the group soon after and released Sparkle and Fade. To celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary in 2022, Everclear reissued World Of Noise as a special remastered, deluxe edition, making the album available for the first time on digital streaming platforms with 6 bonus songs in addition to its original 12 tracks. Adding to the celebrations that year, Everclear released a commemorative anniversary video “Everclear – 30 Years Gone: A Retrospective,” hosted by former MTV VJ, current radio host and longtime friend Matt Pinfield – PRESS HERE to watch.

In 2023, Everclear released their first official live album, Live at The Whisky a Go Go, showcasing the band’s acclaimed and energetic live performance. The 17-track collection, available via Sunset Blvd Records, features the live recording of the Los Angeles show on Everclear’s 30th Anniversary Tour, showcasing the hits and hidden treasures from throughout the band’s extraordinary catalog as well as two new bonus studio tracks: “Sing Away,” a powerful single addressing teen suicide, and their 2022 politically-charged single “Year Of The Tiger.” Continuing to celebrate their acclaimed decades-long career and provide the band’s dedicated fanbase with long-awaited content, Everclear released their platinum-selling album Songs From An American Movie Vol. One on vinyl for the first time ever in 2024 via Intervention Records.

In addition to his thousands of Everclear performances over the band’s lengthy career, Alexakis released his first solo album, Sun Songs, in 2019. That same year, Alexakis revealed his diagnosis with multiple sclerosis (MS) at the age of 54 and has since donated one dollar from every ticket purchased for his performances to charities such as Sweet Relief Musicians Fund and National MS Society. The now 63-year-old shows no signs of slowing down and, more than three decades later, Everclear’s enduring legacy and ongoing appeal as a live band continues.

Everclear is: Art Alexakis (vocals, guitar), Davey French (guitar), Freddy Herrera (bass), Brian Nolan (drums).
