3 Doors Down to return to the Rose for anniversary tour

Rock band 3 Doors Down joins the Rose Music Center at the Heights’ summer lineup on July 7 with its “Away From the Sun Anniversary Tour.”

The 46-stop tour celebrates the 20th anniversary of the band’s sophomore album “Away From the Sun,” which the band toured in 2003. The album includes the hits “Here Without You” and “When I’m Gone.”

The band will play the entire album, mixed with a few other songs from the its discography.

3 Doors Down joined Collective Soul on the “Rock & Roll Express Tour” which stopped at the Rose, in Huber Heights, in 2018 and returned during its “The Better Life 20th Anniversary Tour” in summer 2021.

“‘Away From The Sun’ has always been a personal favorite of mine because of how much it resonated with our country’s service members,” 3 Doors Down’s Brad Arnold said.

“We are so blessed to be able to celebrate these significant milestones because we were very young making these albums, and we still have so much more life to give our fans.”

The “Away From the Sun Anniversary Tour” will be supported by the rock band Candlebox. The tour will be the Candlebox’s final U.S. tour, which will also be in celebration of the band’s 30th anniversary. The band’s farewell album will be released by Round Hill Records later this year.

“The show we are planning will be next-level,” Arnold said. “It’s going to be incredible to have Candlebox on tour with us. I’ve been a fan of theirs since I was a teenager.”

Tickets will be $43.50 to $91.50 for reserved seats and $76.50 for general admission pit tickets, and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday.
