03-25-2025

(37-Media) Grammy nominated, platinum-selling artist, Five For Fighting (aka John Ondrasik) will be back on the road, headlining shows this August (dates below, more to be announced soon) with special guest Vertical Horizon.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, March 28 HERE; select venues will be releasing presale tickets Wednesday March 26 and Thursday, March 27, check venue websites for details.

"I'm so excited to go back to the future and hit the road with Vertical Horizon," says Ondrasik. "One of my early touring experiences was opening for Vertical Horizon and Matt was kind enough to give me my first look at a tour bus. (We were still in the van!). Here we are over 25 years later singing songs, tossing basses, and bringing back memories for music fans of all ages. One could say I'm sixty for a moment...and thankfully this time we have a tour bus!"

Ondrasik will bring along his band, drummer Randy Cooke (Mick Jagger, Ringo Starr, Dave Stewart), bassist John Button (Sheryl Crow, The Who, Shakira), and guitarist Peter Thorn (Chris Cornell, Melissa Etheridge, Don Henley), to play the songs his fans have loved for over two decades along with his recent viral hits.

To date, Five For Fighting, has released six studio albums, including the platinum certified America Town and The Battle for Everything; and the top 10 charting Two Lights, along with an EP and live albums. Ondrasik has penned major hits, including the chart-topping "100 Years," "The Riddle," "Chances," "World," and "Easy Tonight," which have earned tens of millions of streams and place him as a top 10 Hot Adult Contemporary artist for the 2000s. The reflective "100 Years" has joined "Superman (It's Not Easy)" as part of the American Songbook and continues to stand the test of time at weddings, birthdays, graduations, memorials, and many a home video. Five For Fighting's music has also been featured in more than 350 films, television shows, and commercials, including the Oscar-winning The Blind Side, Hawaii Five-O, The Sopranos and the CBS drama, Code Black.
