They're playing coy with how much of the actual album they're gonna play. I wouldn't buy a ticket until you see a setlist. They're DEF. not playing the whole album, and will be playing alot of newer material too based on the message from Brandon:
Fuck that. I don't trust them. After sitting through some syrupy love ballad from the EP that was out around the time they toured with Deftones, I am scarred for life. Gonna wait & see.We are so looking forward to this fall tour. ‘Make Yourself‘ was such a pivotal moment in our band and we are beyond excited to reintroduce this album to our audience while also showcasing the many musical roads it ultimately led us down. See you soon!
Buyer Beware..what if they play THIS:
I adored the Side A EP when it came out. I thought they would have ran with a sound like Trust Fall, but instead we got a messy, uneven album. I haven't heard any Make Yourself songs live in years, so I'll take what I can get.
But Radio City Music Hall? Come onn...
Debating on whether to go to Radio City Music Hall or Foxwoods...
Well, seeing Incubus on the riverfront in 3 days is going to be interesting (we're in sandbag fortress mode). I have no desire to see any of the other bands that are part of our (embarrassing) Spring Fling. The setlist looks a little bland overall, but "'Sick Sad Little World" is back towards the bottom. I've always felt that was a weird one in the middle of a set.
Guess who was completely wrong?!? Denver setlist:
Everything here is wonderful with the exception of Into The Summer. I think I can honestly say it has become my most hated Incubus song, ever
it's slightly better than Make Out Party. But they both are still ear AIDS.
I like this Summer song. It's a real ear worm. It feels a lot more like them than the garbage that was 8.
It is "different" enough to be enjoyable. I also like that it has things for Kilmore to do. I remember being bummed out around ACLOTM about how little involvement he had.

Yea, Kilmore def has taken a long seat in the background. I would say my favorite track from 8 is When I Became a Man and that says a lot about that album; what a train wreck.
well that's a video, yeah. def. Fungus Amongus vibe at the end.
Sounds like a not as well made Jimmy Eat World song... pass.
fuck you Incubus.
Taylor Swift should cover Our Love.
Incubus should tour with RHCP.
They're touring all the obvious US amphitheatres for two fucking months this summer with 311. Yay.
I like the first and last bits of this new one, but the middle is just a garbage, weird transition.
Still sucks to see my favourite band churning out 2 tracks in 2 years that aren't great. The fact that they are releaseing Trust Fall (Side B) in April is nice, but the fact that the last two tracks are gonna be on there isn't.
This new song is lame. It isn't even the pop songwriting. That over produced sound is just terrible.
I mean the fact it's called Trust Fall is indicative of the band knowing it's weird stuff.
Last I saw Incubus perform live was 2017. The tickets were free out of the ticketmaster lawsuit and I thought it a good way to introduce my GF to the Shoreline. The show was mediocre. Nothing memorable really.
Such a shame considering prior to that the last time I had been to the Shoreline was to see them share the stage with Jurassic 5, APC, Audioslave, and Jane's.
listened to Morning View last night while making a cheesecake. yeah, that's probably my favorite album of theirs. The Enjoy Incubus EP is close behind though. also I was in a really rough place mentally when If Not Now, When? came out and it's got a special place just for that because it was what I needed to hear. I think I've listened to that one almost as much as any of their earlier albums.
I remember hearing the Scream 3 album for the first time with all of these bands that I had never heard of. Slipknot, Finger Eleven, SoaD, Sevendust, Static-X, Incubus, PM5k, Orgy, Staind...yeah, it was a great intro to a lot of really good bands at the time. Sheltered, you say? a little. I was in the military then and didn't have access to good radio stations all the time. and trying to find a copy of Fungus Amongus back in that heady time of bootlegs and mail order? good times. oh and the 'remaster' of SCIENCE that was released two years later? wtf was that about?
Also please note at the time and consider where some of those bands ended up.
Same experience here, I saw them a local rock festival, in 2017, and it was bland. Not bad, just average. They were touring behind '8' and that's the first album of them that I didn't completely enjoy. It's sad to see them go this way, they were once one of my favorite bands, even If Not Now, When? was great for me (as @allegate mentioned, it came out during a transition period of my life so it resonated with me big time). But yes, these last two singles and '8' didn't do much for me.
If Not Now, When? Was the first Incubus album that left me uneven. There are some killer tracks on that album with In Company of Wolves being one of the best tracks they have ever written.
I really wish they went with a sound like that or with the first Trust Fall EP, but instead we get this shit.
I tried listening to 8 yesterday. That record is so terrible sounding. I blame Skrillex. The original version of Nimble Bastard that was released as a lyric video sounds pretty rocking but then the audio in the official video and the on the record has the guitars turned way down and the kick and snare compressed and boosted through the stratosphere.
The entire record (with the exception of the real soft songs) sounds like this and it is nearly un-listenable. It makes the mix and master on Californication sound artful. I wish that the original Dave Sardy mixes were leaked because there is a border line good record in there somewhere.
