The shows were announced via an Instagram post on Friday, where the band stated, "Not adding any more shows to the dream is over run, this is it this is all." Check out the full tour dates below:

The Dream Is Over was released on May 27th, 2016, as the band's sophomore record on SideOneDummy. The album received critical acclaim in punk and emo circles, soaring into the top 20s on both Billboard's Top Rock Albums chart and Stereogum's 50 best albums of 2016.

2026 marks the album's 10th anniversary– hence the celebration shows, alongside the band themselves taking to their Substack "MORE BAD STUFF" to deep dive into the release's tumultuous inception. PUP frontman, guitarist, and vocalist Stefan Babcock writes on "The Dream Is Over: Album Autopsy Part 1":

'To be honest, I’m shocked that we finished the record at all.

Many other bands would’ve called it quits for less, and I wouldn’t blame them. But we managed to push through and make a record that ultimately changed all of our lives. And despite all the blowouts that were still to come, we managed to maintain a friendship and respect for each other that ran deeper than everything else. That’s the thing I’m most proud of. I believe our love for each other defines this band more than any of the other stuff."

Earlier this year, PUP released single "If This Is It" alongside a stop-motion video for “Concrete”, a track off their 2025 LP, Who Will Look After The Dogs?
