The Fray – Summer of Light Tour with Dashboard Confessional

The Fray bring their Summer of Light Tour to Merriweather Post Pavilion on Friday, August 14, 2026, with special guests Dashboard Confessional and Colony House. The multi-platinum-selling band is touring in support of their first full-length album in over a decade, *A Light That Waits*—a collection co-written by core members Joe King, Ben Wysocki, and Dave Welsh. The album, produced by The Fray with Jason Suwito and Ryan Linvill, is described as “hopeful energy” and a “new season” for the band, who recently completed a 2025 tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut *How to Save a Life*. The evening pairs The Fray’s catalog of hits with their new material and features two strong opening acts.
