This summer, 3 Doors Down embarks on the Away From The Sun Anniversary Tour, celebrating their iconic sophomore album and gracing major amphitheaters across the US. The tour is not to be missed, as the band promises to deliver all the tracks from Away From The Sun alongside a medley of their greatest hits. Rock enthusiasts can anticipate a night of music as 3 Doors Down and Candlebox take the stage at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, CA, on Saturday, July 15.
Music lovers have the opportunity to witness the magic of “Here Without You,” a chart-topping sensation that reached No. 5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and achieved a remarkable 6x platinum certification in the US. Their lead single, “When I’m Gone,” soared to number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent an impressive seventeen weeks on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, solidifying its place as one of the longest-running number-one singles.
In celebration of the anniversary of Away From The Sun, the band finally unleashes the original video treatment for “When I’m Gone,” which has been buried in the band’s archives for the last two decades. The initial video treatment filmed for the hit song “When I’m Gone” was abandoned in favor of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with the US Military to perform on the USS George Washington. The impactful video from that collaboration has garnered over 160 million views, showcasing the band’s captivating live performance intertwined with poignant moments of military reunions. It stands as a testament to the shared values and unwavering support that has defined the profound connection between 3 Doors Down and the US Military.
Reflecting on the filming experience, lead singer Brad Arnold shares, “It was a wild experience shooting the original video for ‘When I’m Gone.’ The most intense and unforgettable part was being buried above my head not once, but three times. Although they faced numerous challenges while making that video, nothing could compare to the overwhelming feeling they experienced the first time they saw the military version. What started as a military tour became something extraordinary that they’ll always treasure. But it was meant to be.”
Adding to the excitement, special guest Candlebox will join 3 Doors Down on this spectacular tour for what is slated to be the band’s last US tour, commemorating their 30th anniversary and the forthcoming release of their final farewell studio album on Round Hill Records.
