Dashboard Confessional on Tour

Expect robust crowd participation when seeing Dashboard Confessional, a band that sonically splits the difference between R.E.M.-like jangle-rock and moodier emo-pop. The group favors cathartic songwriting full of deep, meaningful lyrics, ensuring that beloved singles such as "Screaming Infidelities" and "Vindicated" draw loud audience sing-alongs.

Early in their career, Dashboard Confessional toured with like-minded peers Weezer and Brand New, while in 2007 they went on the Rock Band Live Tour with Panic! at the Disco. In recent years, Dashboard Confessional have toured with Third Eye Blind and, in 2020, launched a 20th anniversary tour celebrating their vast catalog.

Dashboard Confessional in Concert

Chris Carrabba initially started Dashboard Confessional as a solo acoustic project when he was still fronting another band, the Florida-based emo rock act Further Seems Forever. When the vocalist/guitarist/songwriter left that group to focus on his own music, he quickly issued the second Dashboard Confessional album, The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most, in 2001. That album went gold and contained the song "Screaming Infidelities," which became a Top 25 alternative radio chart hit and spawned a music video that won the MTV2 award at the MTV Video Music Awards.

From there, Dashboard Confessional was off and running. Album number three, 2003's gold-certified A Mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Scar, reached No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200 and spawned the hit "Hands Down." The song "Vindicated" featured prominently in the 2004 film Spider-Man 2 and reached No. 2 on the modern rock charts. Carrabba and crew continued on a hot streak with another gold album (2006's Dusk and Summer, which also topped the U.S. Top Rock Albums chart) and more studio work. Dashboard Confessional released the studio album Crooked Shadows in 2018 and celebrated their 20th anniversary by releasing a greatest hits album, The Best Ones of the Best Ones, in 2020.

    Abq show was absolutely EPIC. Chris' voice is absolutely the best voice of all time. You guys rocked it! Thank you! I'm so honored to have been in your presence, singing (from the bottom of my heart) every song with you!🖤

  • Amazing.

  • Amazing show

    Dashboard was amazing! Chris’s voice is just as good now as it was 20 yrs ago! Played all the classics, unforgettable show!

  • Great energy!

    Dashboard put on a great show at Toyota Music Factory! Great set list. Great sound. Chris had great audience banter. And the opener, Boys Like Girls blew me away. This show felt like a double-headliner. So great to see these groups out there still having a blast.

  • Don’t want to miss

    This was my second time seeing dashboard confessional and boys like girls. Last time I saw them was 15 years ago, and they didn’t age a bit. Still had incredible stage presence, very engaging with the crowd, and all around just such a good show. Their voices are perfect and I would go see them again in a heart beat!

  • Boring and whiny

    by Lynn on 10/30/24The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory - IrvingRating: 1 out of 5

    The opening guy AJ or someone did not fit the style of music. very depressing and slow and snooze. Wish we did not arrive on time. Came for Boys like girls opener and they started an hr later! Sadly they were the better band that night. A lot more upbeat. Left shortly after dashboard started. It was a downer.

  • Forever Fan

    by Jill B on 10/30/24The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory - IrvingRating: 5 out of 5

    I've been listening to Dashboard for over 20 years, and this Chris and the band sound just as good as they did back then. I went to the last concert of this 2024 tour in Dallas, TX, and it was fantastic. So nostalgic and the new song with Boys Like Girls is great, too. I'm so happy I got to see them live again, and they definitely didn't disappoint!

  • Absolutely mesmerizing

    Boys like girls should have been the headliner, they always put on the best show.
