Third Eye Blind

About this event

The follow up to 2018’s EP Thanks for Everything, Screamer finds Third Eye Blind collaborating with Alexis Krauss of Sleigh Bells (“Screamer”), Ryan Olson of Marijuana Death Squad and Poliça (“Who Am I” and “Got So High”), and the album’s musical consigliere, Billy Corgan.

“My current mood resonates with rebellion, energy, courage, and risk,” says Stephan Jenkins, on Third Eye Blind’s sixth full length album, Screamer (October 18). “I seek to combine it with a percussive level of musical immediacy in this collection of songs to cultivate collective idealism and an unapologetic aspiration towards humanistic values.”

“We have always been so insular,” says Jenkins, “and on Screamer we adopted an open door policy -- come in, be musical, and follow the song where it takes us.”

Going strong for over two decades, Third Eye Blind have broken their own attendance records with 2019’s Summer Gods tour. The biggest tour in the band’s history will wrap August 3 in Irvine, CA with Jimmy Eat World and Ra Ra Riot. (Third Eye Blind has offset the tour’s carbon footprint by donating a portion of each ticket sold to a US-based carbon offset project managed by ClimeCo.)

“It’s an incredible feeling to be in a good rock band,” adds Jenkins. “The gift that’s been given to me is that people view my music as enlivening them.”

Third Eye Blind takes the stage at Roadrunner for a full headline set to benefit the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale!

Formed in San Francisco in the 1990s, Third Eye Blind defined an era of alternative rock with timeless, chart-topping hits like "Semi-Charmed Life," "Jumper," and "How's It Going to Be." Led by frontman Stephan Jenkins—a longtime ocean conservationist—the multi-platinum band continues to captivate audiences worldwide while using their platform to back critical environmental causes.

The North Atlantic right whale is one of the world's most endangered marine mammals, with fewer than 360 individuals remaining in the wild. Dedicated to their survival, Whale & Dolphin Conservation (WDC) works endlessly to combat the primary threats these gentle giants face, including vessel strikes, marine entanglements, and changing ocean habitats.

Created as an annual benefit concert, Whale Jam brings music lovers together to raise crucial funds and direct support for WDC's conservation efforts. Now in its 4th year, the event blends incredible live music with community action, channeling every voice toward protecting Nantucket's local ocean icons for generations to come.

Special thanks to Nantucket Crisps, Nantucket Music Foundation, Whale & Dolphin Conservation, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Suncruiser, and Harpoon Brewery for helping us bring this incredible night to life!
