Sunny Day Real Estate has also announced that they will be releasing a new song titled “Novum Vetus” on Friday, January 26. This will be the band’s first new track since 2014’s “Lipton Witch.” The song’s idea dates back to the late 1990s, and it was created by singer Jeremy Enigk, guitarist Dan Hoerner, and drummer William Goldsmith worked together with guitarist Greg Suran and bassist Chris Jordan at Seattle’s London Bridge Studio. A press release confirms the news and provides details on the upcoming release.
The beloved indie rockers will release an updated version of Diary on May 3rd.
“This year is the 30th anniversary of our first record, Diary! We wanted to do something special to celebrate these songs that have brought us so much over the years,” shared Sunny Day Real Estate in an Instagram post. “Not only are we excited to announce a US tour of the record in its entirety, we thought it would be fun to re-record the full album live in-studio as a better representation of how we play the songs now as we’ve evolved as musicians. Recorded at London Bridge Studio in Seattle. We couldn’t be happier with the result of how it turned out. Nothing can touch the specialness of our original recording, but this recording in so many ways has its own power and magic that we hope you will enjoy. And for an added bonus we recorded a new song ‘Novum Vetus. An idea originally conceived around 1998 for ‘How it Feels To Be Something On, but completed and restructured for this new recording. This Friday the 26th, you can buy tickets for the tour, hear/download the song on all DSPs and pre-order the album from our site. Thank you for listening all of these years!”

What To Do If Tickets Are Sold Out?
If tickets sell out, your other option is to buy them via online resellers like VividSeats or StubHub. When all else fails, we prefer these resell options because both offer a 100% Guarantee. You can also purchase resell tickets through Ticketmaster’s resell program. Just search for the concert or event you want to attend, and see if they have any resell tickets available. We recommend you compare the three options and find out which works best for you.
Alternatively, you can hit it old school style and show up at the concert when the box office opens and wish upon a star that they release more tickets, or hopefully, another concert-goer has an extra ticket to sell at face-value or even giveaway for free. Trust, this happens more often than not! We’ve given away many tickets to sold-out shows simply because our +1 couldn’t make it.
Also, more standard tickets are often released via Ticketmaster 1-3 days leading up to the show date. We’ve seen it with Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Arctic Monkeys and many more! It’s a secret gatekeeped by many, but if you’re reading this, now you know! So be sure to set your calendar notifications!
