Blue October: The Foiled 20th Anniversary World Tour

Justin Furstenfeld is certainly never one to mince words. Whether on or offstage, the Blue October singer-songwriter tells it like it is. “It’s fucking beauty! It’s gorgeous! It’s timeless!” he says of Foiled.

Foiled is Blue October’s 2006 landmark LP, a 14-track collection that helped send the Houston-bred band into the stratosphere with singles including “Hate Me” and “Into The Ocean.”

Looking back 20 years, Furstenfeld says the band is launching a yearlong Foiled 20th-anniversary celebration and preparing to hit the road this fall for a Foiled headline tour where they’ll play the classic album in its entirety. Blue October includes:
- Jeremy Furstenfeld (drums)
- Ryan Delahoussaye (multi-instrumentalist)
- Matt Noveskey (bass)
- Will Knaak (lead guitar)

The album’s deeply personal songwriting and emotionally resonant sound cemented the band as a distinctive voice and forged a strong connection with their fanbase. Blue October’s catalog now surpasses one billion streams, and new listeners continue to discover Foiled alongside the band’s later work.

“It did what it’s supposed to do,” he says of the album in retrospect. "I’m the most spiritually beautiful, calm, peaceful, amazing person and father that I never was before."

“That’s why we’re doing an anniversary tour for it now. It’s so cool. You gotta celebrate the fact that we made that music. And now look where we are because of it. It’s such a blessing.”
