InVogue Records Tours

[edit]

In the summer of 2014, InVogue Records announced the inaugural InVogue Records Tour, in partnership with MerchNow, featuring Famous Last Words, Whether I, For All I Am, and Until We Are Ghosts. The tour wrapped around the midwest (where the label is based), as well as dates on the east coast.[8] In the fall of 2015, Nick Moore announced on Twitter that Hotel Books would be embarking on the next InVogue Tour. In the fall of that year, Hotel Books announced the "Run Wild, Young Beauty" tour, named after their debut full-length album. Due to the album-branded title, and the package's addition of Tragic Hero Records band Bad Luck, it was unclear if this tour was truly the annual InVogue Records Tour. Hotel Books took out label mates Motives and Until We Are Ghosts on this tour as well.[9]

Spring 2016 came the official announcement of a proper InVogue Records Tour featuring Hotel Books. The tour was co-headlined by Dayseeker, and included Convictions as support. This tour hit the west coast, midwest and east coast, but the first date, in San Diego, CA, was without Hotel Books due to their vocalist, Cam Smith, having a concussion.[10] An east coast InVogue Records Tour took place in the fall featuring Convictions, Everyone Dies in Utah, Glass Houses and Conspire. The fall edition of the tour also included a stop at So What?! Music Festival in Dallas, Texas.[11]

In the winter of 2016, Cam Smith announced on their Twitter that Hotel Books would be taking the InVogue Records Tour to Europe, and "to other exciting places." The tweet was followed by an official announcement three days later. InVogue Records announced a European edition of the IVR Tour featuring Hotel Books and Convictions. Two weeks later, a Japanese IVR Tour was announced as well, featuring the same two bands. The tour also included two exclusive dates in Russia.[12]

In January 2017, the label launched the first ever InVogue Records Unplugged Tour, featuring JT Woodruff (of Hawthorne Heights), In Her Own Words, Hazing and Woven in Hiatus. The tour featured a round-robin style performance and went from the west coast to the midwest.[13]

In the summer of 2018, InVogue Records announced another InVogue Records Tour featuring Boys of Fall, In Her Own Words and Ky Rodgers.
