Rob Thomas concert chronology

The Great Unknown Tour[1] was the fourth concert tour by American recording artist, Rob Thomas. Beginning June 2015, the tour supported his third studio album, The Great Unknown. The tour predominantly visited North America, with performances in theaters and amphitheaters and at music festivals during the summer.

Background

[edit]

After wrapping up the 2013 tour with band Matchbox Twenty, Thomas began recording his third solo album. In spring 2014, the singer launched his third solo tour, showcasing two new songs, "I Think We Feel Good Together" and "Heaven Help Me".[2] Later that year, Thomas announced the album title via Twitter.[3] In March 2015, Thomas posted a video to YouTube, announcing the tour.[4] In the video, Thomas stated he will release the single and album before the tour kick off in the summer.[5] The singer also stated he would perform new songs from the album, alongside his solo hits and hits from his band.

Cancellations

[edit]

For the first time in his solo career, Thomas had to cancel many concerts during the tour. The first was the concert in Denver, Colorado. Opening act The Plain White T's added an additional 20 minutes to their set, before the announcement was made.[6] It was explained that Thomas suffered an allergy attack and lost his voice. He later took to Twitter to post the disappointment, along with photos of him at the doctor. Later in July, Thomas's wife Marisol required brain surgery, causing 11 shows to be cancelled.[7] Luckily, many of the dates were able to be rescheduled, with the exception of Cincinnati and North Charleston. Lack of venue availability was given of the reasons for the dates permanent cancellation.[8]
