O.A.R. will embark on the O.A.R. Three Decades Tour in 2026, with the North American run celebrating the band’s three-decade career and a lineup of special guests including Gavin DeGraw, Phantom Planet, Lisa Loeb, and KT Tunstall.
The milestone tour kicks-off June 19th in Vail, CO at Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, traveling across the country before wrapping up November 15 at Hard Rock Live in Orlando, FL. In celebration of the tour announcement, O.A.R. released the new single “Where We Are Right Now,” stream: HERE.
Frontman Marc Roberge shared: “When we started playing songs together in a basement in Rockville, Maryland in 1996 we had big dreams of being a real deal touring band. We imagined playing our songs throughout the country, living life on the road, telling our stories to the world. The fact that we’ve gotten to live that life for the last 30 years is a testament to the power of our audience. This tour is our way of saying thank you – to every fan who made our dreams come true. We can’t wait to see each and every one of you out there on the Three Decades Tour.”
In addition, O.A.R. celebrated the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album ‘Stories of a Stranger’ this year with Stories Of A Stranger 20th Anniversary Edition, featuring four bonus tracks. The special edition also features their hit singles like “Love and Memories,” “Lay Down,” and “Heard the World.”
The reissue is available in 2 LP and digital formats, with the vinyl housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket. Alongside the standard vinyl edition, an exclusive Cloud Swirl color pressing will be available via the band’s official store. Fans can also bundle a commemorative tee, poster & sticker set, created just for the 20th anniversary edition.
