The Airborne Toxic Event: The Way Home 20 Year Anniversary Tour

The Airborne Toxic Event brings their 20-year anniversary tour to Cleveland, celebrating two decades of their distinctive blend of rock music and orchestral arrangements. Known for dramatic, emotive performances, the band often collaborates with string quartets and symphony orchestras, creating a powerful live experience that transcends typical rock shows.

Formed in Los Angeles in 2006 after a series of personal crises inspired lead singer Mikel Jollett to write songs, the band quickly gained attention for their literary name (drawn from Don DeLillo's *White Noise*). Their debut album earned critical praise, and they played early shows at the Echo and the CMJ Music Marathon. Rolling Stone named them one of the "Top 25 Bands on MySpace" in 2006.

Fans can expect an evening of anthemic songs, heartfelt lyrics, and the unique energy that comes from a band performing with a full string section. The show will feature material from across their catalog, including early tracks like "Wishing Well" and "Missy."
