Formed in 1995, the Mississippi-based rock band 3 Doors Down has sold some 20 million albums over the course of its lengthy career. The single “Kryptonite” became a huge hit on commercial radio back in the ‘90s.

Now, the group has announced it will embark upon a Back Porch Jam tour in 2018.

It will perform on Friday, Feb. 9, at Hard Rock Live.

The tour will feature acoustic “interpretation” of the band’s hits as well as fan favorites and deep album cuts. All ticket purchasers will receive a limited-edition digital EP featuring acoustic performances of “Kryptonite,” “It’s Not My Time” and “I Don’t Want To Know.”

“Over the years we’ve always enjoyed stripping down our songs and playing them acoustic,” says singer Brad Arnold in a press release announcing the tour. “For us as a live band, it breathes new life into these songs, allows us to switch-up our set and dig really deep into our catalog. We’re looking forward to playing in some intimate venues, which we don’t often do, and being up close and personal with our fans.”

A VIP pre-sale begins today via 3DoorsDown.com. The general on-sale commences at 10 a.m. on Friday.
