The Front Bottoms Announce Champagne Jam 2022

Fueled By Ramen band The Front Bottoms have announced details of the 2022 iteration of their popular year-end bash, Champagne Jam.

This year, the annual holiday festival will happen across two nights - December 16th and December 17th - at The Fillmore Campus in Philadelphia, PA, and will see The Front Bottoms headlining each night at The Fillmore with special friends Joyce Manor, Titus Andronicus, Soul Glo, Slothrust, Kevin Devine and more delivering performances across the campus' three stages.

Pre-sale tickets for Champagne Jam 2022 are available now to members of The Front Bottoms' Motorcycle Club, with general on sale for tickets starting Friday, September 29th at 11:00AM ET. For tickets and more information visit here.

Earlier this month The Front Bottoms released the Theresa EP, which features the singles "More Than It Hurts You" and "Hello World." The five song collection serves as the third installment of the band's popular Grandma EP series and features new recordings of never before released fan favorite songs.

In support of Theresa, The Front Bottoms are currently out on a headline tour across North America which will feature support from special guests The Joy Formidable and Mobley. For tickets and more information on the upcoming dates, visit www.thefrontbottoms.com.

Last year, The Front Bottoms shared the standalone singles "Lover Boy" and "Voodoo Magic," the latter of which the band enlisted Matt Skiba of Blink-182 and Alkaline Trio to play guitar on.

Comprised of guitarist/vocalist Brian Sella and drummer Mathew Uychich, The Front Bottoms have gripped listeners and press around the world with their ragged honesty and emotional urgency. In 2020, The Front Bottoms released their celebrated album, In Sickness & In Flames, a twelve song collection produced by Mike Sapone.

NME attested, "In Sickness & In Flames is a defining work that showcases a sonic universe, rather than a structured set of songs, expertly capturing the inescapable tension of 2020." A.V. Club declared, "The Front Bottoms are as vibrant as ever on In Sickness & In Flames, a reliably great collection of folk-punk anthems that rattle the soul with crunchy riffs, electrifying hooks, and Brian Sella's idiosyncratic lyricism, which remains as amiable as it is anxiety-ridden."

UPROXX added "In Sickness & In Flames features the band's biggest choruses to date, anchored with hooks and deeply personal songwriting that will turn heads," while The FADER hailed it as, "a celebration of sorts for a band perennially on the fringes of a major breakthrough." The Alternative detailed, "While In Sickness & In Flames was written prior to the pandemic, so much of it feels so tethered to our present collective experience, from the introspection and reflective growth that is showcased in the songwriting, to the sweeping highs and lows of the music itself. This album is the perfect companion piece to the anxiety of standing in the face of uncertainty."
