Southern California’s DAYSEEKER — Rory Rodriguez [vocals], Gino Sgambelluri [guitar], Ramone Valerio [bass], and Zac Mayfield [drums] — just wrapped an incredibly successful, sold-out headline tour of the U.S. last week, which included appearances at several festivals.

Dayseeker will return to the road for a new headline trek this fall and it’s big deal for both the band and fans. They will play the biggest venues of their career so far, while also hitting cities they’ve not performed in recently!

The “DAYSEEKER: DARK SUN PROTOCOL” tour will kick off September 27 in Dallas and run through November 2 in Los Angeles.

Alpha Wolf, Catch Your Breath, and Kingdom of Giants will also appear.

All dates are below. Tickets go on sale on Friday, May 31 at 10am local time. Get tickets here. 

“We’re really excited for ‘Dark Sun Protocol,’ considering it’s been years since we’ve headlined some of these cities,” says Rodriguez. “This will be our biggest and best live show to see so far — guaranteed.”

In other Dayseeker news, the band’s acoustic album Replica arrives physically on June 14 via Spinefarm. Pre-order it here.

The stripped down, intimate renditions of familiar fan favorites highlight the band’s songcraft and allow the listener to experience Dayseeker in an entirely new way. The collection also includes appearances from Holding Absence’s Lucas Woodland and indie artist Amber DeLaRosa.

Replica is the somewhat unexpected (yet welcomed) result of a specific gig in 2022, when the band’s gear overheated at Blue Ridge Rock Festival. Thinking on his feet, Rodriguez grabbed an acoustic guitar from the van, plugged in, and performed “Without Me.” Soon, he had pulled together a five-song set on the fly as thousands of fans flocked to the stage.

“I felt like we let people down, but I had so many friends say, ‘Everyone will remember the day your equipment stopped working and you still played the set as a really special moment’,'” he recalls. “It felt natural for our songs. We usually will do extra tracks for a Deluxe version or re-release, but we decided to commit to an entire acoustic album this time.”
