The Anniversary, one of the more important post-hardcore, emo acts, especially in regards to synth-driven music, is reuniting in 2016 for a full tour. Joining the likes of Piebald, Hey Mercedes and other reuniting seminal emo bands, the Lawrence, KS 5-piece is getting ready to hit the road, with a number of dates already announced for September.

The band recently announced that they'd be playing reunion set at the 2016 Taste of Chaos festival in San Bernardino, CA on July 16 alongside The Get Up Kids, Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday and many other familiar names from the era.

Just as they did with their Taste of Chaos announcement, the band teased its Twitter followers with a graphic, and then shared the official news in a tour poster. Check out these posts right here:
