Hawthorne Heights celebrate 20 years of If Only You Were Lonely with a massive U.S. tour in 2026 featuring letlive. and Creeper, with pre sales begin October 29.
Two decades after breaking hearts and igniting mosh pits across the country, Hawthorne Heights are revisiting the album that defined a generation of emo kids. The band has announced a 20th anniversary tour for their 2006 classic ‘If Only You Were Lonely’, hitting stages across the U.S. in 2026 with letlive. and Creeper joining the run.
“If Only You Were Lonely” wasn’t just a record, it was a lifeline. Fuelled by pain, vulnerability, and those now iconic screams, the album cemented Hawthorne Heights as one of the era’s most emotionally charged bands. Now, 20 years later, they’re ready to bring that energy full circle.

“Join us as we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of If Only You Were Lonely, live on some of our favorite stages in familiar towns across the USA,” the band announced. “With a collection of songs inspired by some of the most chaotic and darkest times in our lives, we’ve invited letlive and Creeper to join us as we embrace the variety of heavy and emotional music we love! Don’t worry, this is only Part 1…”
That promise of Part 1 has fans buzzing about what might come next, and judging by the line-up, this tour is already one of 2026’s biggest nostalgia trips.
