Fifteen years after its release, Seahaven will hit the road in early 2026 to celebrate their beloved debut album, Winter Forever, performing it in its entirety for the very first time. The tour offers fans a rare opportunity to experience the record front to back — a collection that helped define the band’s sound and build lasting connections across the emo, indie, and post-hardcore scenes. An exclusive Winter Forever LP variant will also be available at the shows.
“This record is held in a very special place for us,” the band shares. “We’re excited to celebrate this anniversary with everyone that has come to enjoy it over the years.”
Released in November 2011 via Run For Cover Records, Winter Forever arrived during a pivotal era for the American emo and alternative revival. Blending atmospheric guitars, raw emotion, and introspective lyricism, Seahaven stood apart from their peers — crafting music that felt both immediate and cinematic. Tracks like “Black & White,” “Save Me,” and “PV” struck a powerful emotional chord with listeners, balancing post-hardcore urgency with indie-rock sensitivity.
The album quickly became a touchstone for fans of acts like Balance and Composure, Title Fight, and Brand New, earning Seahaven a devoted following and establishing their reputation as one of the most emotionally resonant bands of their generation.
Following Winter Forever, Seahaven continued to evolve their sound with 2014’s Reverie Lagoon: Music for Escapism Only — a minimalist, atmospheric departure that showcased their artistic range — and 2020’s Halo of Hurt, a cathartic return after a six-year hiatus. Together, their discography captures a band unafraid to take risks while staying true to their emotional core.
Fifteen years later, Winter Forever remains a defining entry in the modern emo and alternative canon — a record that continues to connect across generations.
Following the anniversary run, Seahaven has hinted at additional activity planned for 2026.
The Winter Forever 15th Anniversary Tour — featuring special guests Commoner and Flycatcher on select dates — kicks off January 22, 2026, in Phoenix, AZ, and runs through February 6, with stops across major cities in the U.S. and Canada.
