Following a triumphant return in 2024 after a decade-long hiatus, The Fray has officially kicked off their How to Save a Life: 20th Anniversary Tour, celebrating two decades of their iconic debut album. They will play with Dashboard Confessional on Thursday, September 17th at Sandia Amphitheater. The multi-Platinum-selling band - composed of lead vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter Joe King, guitarist Dave Welsh, and drummer Ben Wysocki - continues to captivate audiences with the emotional depth and cinematic sweep of their music. Originally rising to prominence in the early 2000s, the Colorado-bred group introduced a uniquely soul-searching alt-rock sound—timeless yet inventive, arena-sized yet profoundly intimate. Over the years, The Fray has earned four GRAMMY Award nominations, three Billboard Music Awards, multiple Billboard Top 10 hits, and a deeply devoted global fanbase. As punk rock proliferated radio airwaves, Dashboard Confessional cemented their role at the vanguard of an entire music scene. Facing familiar aches with tenderness and precision, singer / songwriter Chris Carrabba rocketed the band into mainstream focus, solidifying their place as one of the biggest alternative bands of the 2000s. Doors Open: 7:00 PM All ages event. Please Note: If you choose the Print at Home delivery method, you will not have access to print your tickets until three (3) days before the show. Sandia Amphitheater is a clear bag venue.
