Gym Class Heroes resurface, announce 2018 festival appearance

June 7, 2017

Well, it looks like Gym Class Heroes are back. After releasing their last album, The Papercut Chronicles II, in 2011, the band have been announced for Sail Across The Sun, Train’s music and wine festival at sea, playing alongside Magic!, LOLO and more.

Check out the full lineup below!

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Gym Class Heroes. The band gained momentum with 2006’s As Cruel As School Children. After peaking on the Billboard Top 200 at No. 35 and spending 26 weeks on the chart, the album received a Gold certification from the RIAA.

They spent the summer of 2008 on Warped Tour in support of The Quilt, and even found themselves on the cover of Alternative Press that October.

“Stereo Hearts” (featuring Maroon 5’s Adam Levine) and “The Fighter” (featuring OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder) from 2011’s The Papercut Chronicles II put the band back on the radar, but we haven’t heard much from them since.

We’re not sure if this means there’ll be new music anytime soon, but with the cruise setting sail next year, we’re not losing all hope for the possibility.

Train’s Sail Across The Sun will take place March 7-11, 2018, and the full lineup is listed below. Presale signup is here.
