05/13/25 | [dcraley]Life Of Agony Celebrate 30 Years of "Ugly"
LIFE OF AGONY has announced the upcoming 30 Years of Ugly tour to commemorate their 1995 release, Ugly (Roadrunner Records). For the first time in the band's history, they will perform their sophomore album throughout the United States and Europe. Jasta will join the band in the U.S. and Ugly Kid Joe will serve as support overseas. Tickets go on sale Friday, May 9th, here.
"Everyone was expecting River Runs Red, Part 2, but Ugly was a left, right, and U-turn! People were like, 'Okay, this is different?!'" explains guitarist Joey Zampella. "It took some time to sink its hooks into our listeners, but when it did, it became a classic. I'm super excited to celebrate the 'Ugly Duckling' of the L.O.A. catalog!"
"Ugly was probably the most emotionally vulnerable record we ever made," says bassist Alan Robert. "It was a big risk back then—to release something so different from River Runs Red — but we were just in a much different headspace, and we always wore our hearts on our sleeves. The album ended up connecting with people in a deep, lasting way. Playing it live from front to back is going to be powerful for both the band and the fans."
"I'm very excited to get back out on the road to play Ugly in its entirety and to share the stage with God Forbid, our boy Jasta, and our good buddies from Ugly Kid Joe — along with our special friend Whitfield Crane," says singer Keith Caputo. "I might even have to convince Whit to sing an L.O.A. song with us out there. That would be so cool. I'm looking forward to creating more incredible moments with L.O.A. and making memories with great people in killer bands. Come hang out with us for an unforgettable night of music and entertainment."
