The newly renamed Yuengling Center already had an exciting show like Questove's symphonic tribute to Prince on the books, but the arena formerly known as the Sun Dome definitely needed some kind of rock show to beef up the concert calendar.
Leave to some hometown boys to do the trick. Today, Tampa-based hard rock giants Underøath announced that it will follow a summer world tour of festivals with an arena tour that'll wrap in Tampa on December 14. The show is in support of a 2018 comeback album, Erase Me, which is the band's first album since 2010's Ø, which was its seventh studio LP and its first without founding member Aaron Gillespie. Before that, fans would have to reach back to 2008's Lost in the Sound of Separation to find new music from Underøath.

Underoath delivers a memorable farewell show at Jannus Live, St. Petersburg
“The only rule we had on this record was to reject the phrase we said about our previous records,” frontman Spencer Chamberlain said in a release. “’That’s not Underøath enough.’ We left that shit in St. Petersburg when we played that last farewell show. To say something’s ‘not Underøath enough’ robs us of growing. We didn’t say we were going to make an artsy record, a melodic record or a record our fans will like. We made a record that stokes us out that we love. And in my whole life, I’ve never said that on any record I’ve ever been on. That’s us growing up and progressing—not just as musicians but as human beings.”
Tickets for the show go on sale to the public on Friday, July 20, and will cost fans $26-$31. More information is available at yuenglingcenter.com.
