Following a triumphant return in 2024 after a decade-long hiatus, this is a new chapter for the multi-Platinum-selling band, with vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter Joe King taking over lead vocals alongside longtime guitarist Dave Welsh and drummer Ben Wysocki.

This summer, The Fray will launch their How to Save a Life: The 20th Anniversary Tour in July, celebrating the milestone of their iconic debut album. When the Colorado-bred group first emerged in the early 2000s, The Fray introduced the world to a deeply emotional, alt-rock sound—timeless yet inventive, arena-sized yet profoundly intimate.

Over the years, their soul-searching songwriting and dynamic sound earned them four GRAMMY Award nominations, three Billboard Music Awards, multiple Billboard Top 10 hits, and a devoted global fanbase. Their breakout single, “How To Save A Life,” spent an incredible 58 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the unofficial anthem of ABC’s Emmy-winning show “Grey’s Anatomy.” Rolling Stone praised their “stick-in-your-head hooks and eloquent narratives,” while the Los Angeles Times called their music “melodically rich.” Their 2005 debut full length project, How To Save A Life, is RIAA-certified 4x Platinum in the U.S. and remains one of the best-selling digital debuts of all time. The band is working on new music to come later this year.
