PHOENIX — Dashboard Confessional will play Celebrity Theatre on March 31, 2027, as part of its Unplugged: 25th Anniversary Tour, according to the venue and Live Nation. The show is listed for 8 p.m. at the theater at 440 N. 32nd Street.
The Phoenix date is part of a 15-date North American tour marking 25 years since the band’s 2002 performance on MTV’s “Unplugged,” later released as the album “MTV Unplugged 2.0.” Rolling Stone, reporting the announcement, said the run opens March 12 in Chicago and closes April 3 in San Francisco, with Phoenix falling between stops in Denver and Los Angeles.
Tickets for the Phoenix show are sold through Etix, the official link used on Celebrity Theatre’s event page and listed on Ticketmaster as a partner-site sale. Ticketmaster’s event data shows general tickets going on sale Friday, Nov. 13, at 10 a.m. A presale begins Thursday, Nov. 12, at 9 a.m. MST, according to Ticketmaster’s Celebrity Theatre listing.
Dashboard Confessional began as an acoustic project by singer-songwriter Chris Carrabba and became a defining early-2000s alternative act with songs such as “Screaming Infidelities.” The 2002 “Unplugged” album helped raise the band’s national profile ahead of the 2003 studio record “A Mark, a Mission, a Brand, a Scar.”
Celebrity Theatre, a few blocks north of Van Buren Street, is known for its theater-in-the-round design, which places the stage at the center of the room.
The tour was announced in a press release from Kelly Frey of KF Publicity. Ticket information is available through the venue.
