Progressive rock visionaries Coheed and Cambria single yet, will hit the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ on August 29th as part of their massive co-headline summer tour with Taking Back Sunday.
The band released new track earlier this year, entitled “Someone Who Can.” The song was also accompanied by a nostalgic video directed by Mason Mercer, offers a rare glimpse into Coheed’s humble beginnings in Nyack, New York. Pairing heartfelt visuals with deeply introspective lyrics, the song captures a universal truth: that growing up doesn’t always mean figuring it all out.
As frontman Claudio Sanchez puts it, “Over time, it’s comforting to reach the conclusion that you’ll never truly have things figured out.”
The single is the latest release from Coheed’s new album, The Father of Make Believe, out now via Virgin Music Group. The album continues the band’s long-running Amory Wars saga and follows 2022’s Vaxis Act II: A Window of the Waking Mind. With earlier singles like “Blind Side Sonny” and “Searching For Tomorrow”, it’s clear the band is once again pushing their sonic and narrative boundaries.
And New Jersey fans are in for a treat — not only will they get to experience these new songs live, but they’ll do so at one of the state’s most iconic outdoor venues. Sharing the stage with emo-rock legends Taking Back Sunday and support from Foxing, this show promises an unforgettable night of anthemic sing-alongs and high-energy performances.
Tickets for the August 29th Holmdel show are on sale now. Don’t wait — with a lineup this stacked, this one’s bound to sell out.
From the comic book pages of The Amory Wars to the amphitheaters of North America, Coheed and Cambria continue to redefine what it means to be a rock band. Catch them this summer in New Jersey for a night that promises music, memory, and maybe even a little make-believe.
