RALEIGH, N.C., Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Marcy Playground, managed by Deep South Entertainment, will join forces with Wheatus for a 2027 co-headlining tour, bringing two enduring alternative-rock acts to stages across the Eastern United States. The 19-date run begins March 18 in Washington, DC, and concludes April 10 in Nashville, TN.

The tour arrives as Marcy Playground marks the 30th anniversary of its platinum-certified self-titled debut. The album introduced "Sex and Candy," which spent 15 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Modern Rock chart, and also produced charting singles "Sherry Fraser" and "Saint Joe on the School Bus." Across five studio albums, the band has amassed nearly 1 billion streams worldwide and placed songs in films including Cruel Intentions and Antitrust.

Wheatus brings its own generation-spanning anthem, "Teenage Dirtbag," to the bill. The song found renewed cultural life through a 2022 TikTok trend embraced by nearly one million participants, including Madonna, Lady Gaga and Lil Nas X; the band's approved biography reports more than two billion views for the #teenagedirtbag hashtag. The independent group has released six studio albums and two live albums while continuing to tour and perform at major festivals.

Together, the bands offer a night of familiar singalongs and distinctive songwriting.
