TEG MJR is excited to announce that the four-time GRAMMY-nominated band The Fray, is bringing their highly anticipated “How to Save a Life” 20th Anniversary Tour to Australia this December. These shows are part of an extensive global tour and will celebrate their iconic debut album, How to Save a Life, giving fans the chance to relive the music that defined a generation.
The tour will kick off in Perth at Metro City on Wednesday, December 3rd, before moving to Brisbane’s Eatons Hill Hotel, Sydney’s Enmore Theatre, and concluding in Melbourne at the Forum on Sunday, December 7th. Fans can gain early access to tickets through the artist presale, which begins at 10:00 AM (local time) on Thursday, March 27th. General public ticket sales will start at 10:00 AM (local time) on Tuesday, April 1.
Released in 2005, How to Save a Life became one of the defining albums of the 2000’s, earning widespread acclaim and delivering hits like “Over My Head (Cable Car)” and the 5 x Platinum title track. Climbing to the top of the Billboard 200 chart, the album’s heartfelt lyrics and signature sound struck a chord with listeners around the world, solidifying The Fray’s place in music history. Two decades and more than 12 billion streams later, its impact remains strong, continuing to inspire and connect fans from everywhere.
The Fray struck a huge chord with audiences around the world and turned their organic grassroots efforts into a major success, selling over 4 million albums and 20 million singles globally.
“We wrote songs in our parents’ basements and our grandpa’s barn, dreaming of playing our music with the world one day. We never imagined that the songs from How to Save a
Life would still hold new meaning 20 years later,” said lead vocalist Joe King. “It’s an incredible honour to celebrate the album’s 20th anniversary with our Australian fans. We can’t wait to perform these songs and share our stories with you. Come sing with us—we’ll see you in December!”

About The Fray
Following a triumphant return in 2024 after a decade-long hiatus, The Fray is continuing their headlining tour, The Fray Is Back, through the spring. Named after their recently released EP, this is a new chapter for the multi-Platinum-selling band, with vocalist, guitarist, and primary songwriter Joe King taking over lead vocals alongside longtime guitarist Dave Welsh and drummer Ben Wysocki. This summer, The Fray will launch their How to Save a Life: The 20th Anniversary Tour in July, celebrating the milestone of their iconic debut album. When the Colorado-bred group first emerged in the early 2000s, The Fray introduced the world to a deeply emotional, alt-rock sound—timeless yet inventive, arena-sized yet profoundly intimate. Over the years, their soul-searching songwriting and dynamic sound earned them four GRAMMY Award nominations, three Billboard Music Awards, multiple Billboard Top 10 hits, and a devoted global fanbase. Their breakout single, “How To Save A Life,” spent an incredible 58 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the unofficial anthem of ABC’s Emmy-winning show “Grey’s Anatomy.” Rolling Stone praised their “stick-in-your-head hooks and eloquent narratives,” while the Los Angeles Times called their music “melodically rich.” Their 2005 debut full length project, How To Save A Life, is RIAA-certified 4x Platinum in the U.S. and remains one of the best-selling digital debuts of all time. The band is working on new music to come later this year.
