Marking the band’s three-decade journey, famed rock band O.A.R. has announced the O.A.R. Three Decades Tour. Starting June 2026, the band’s expansive North American tour will be making three stops in New York in Lewiston, Wantagh, and Saratoga Springs.
Established in Rockville, Maryland, in 1996, O.A.R. features Marc Roberge (lead vocals, guitar), Richard On (lead guitar, backing vocals), Chris Culos (drums), and Jerry DePizzo (saxophone, guitar, backing vocals). The group has evolved from high school friends playing in basements to become one of modern rock’s most enduring live performers.
Throughout their three-decade career, O.A.R. has achieved two sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden, headlined Red Rocks Amphitheatre over a dozen times, collected multiple Platinum and Gold certifications, and cultivated one of the music industry’s most dedicated fanbases.
The anniversary tour will showcase O.A.R.’s celebrated live performances at amphitheaters, arenas, and iconic venues nationwide, delivering the band’s biggest hits alongside an impressive roster of guest artists, including Gavin DeGraw, Phantom Planet, Lisa Loeb, and KT Tunstall.
Coinciding with the band’s milestone tour, O.A.R. has released a brand-new single, “Where We Are Right Now,” bringing the band’s signature blend of heartfelt lyrics and uplifting energy, capturing the essence of O.A.R.’s journey as they launch their anniversary tour.
Last month, O.A.R. celebrated the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album Stories of a Stranger with a deluxe reissue, revisiting the era that produced hit singles like “Love and Memories,” “Lay Down,” and “Heard the World.” The release includes new music, collaborations, and archival content chronicling the band’s 30-year evolution. Stories Of A Stranger (20th Anniversary Edition) will be released on December 5 with 4 new bonus tracks.
