New York, NY – June 9, 2026 – Beloved Swedish indie-pop trio Peter Bjorn and John have announced the Writer's Block 20th Anniversary Tour, a special run of dates in Mexico and the U.S. celebrating two decades of their breakthrough album Writer's Block. The tour kicks off this October and will see the band performing songs from the classic record alongside additional favorites from across their acclaimed catalog.
The announcement follows the band's celebrated return to North American stages in 2025 alongside a Just Like Heaven festival play, their first stateside performances in six years. Following the enthusiastic response from fans last year, Peter Bjorn and John will return this fall for a deeper celebration of the album that helped define a generation of indie music.
Originally released in August 2006, Writer's Block introduced Peter Bjorn and John to audiences around the world and remains one of the defining indie albums of the 2000s. Anchored by the global hit “Young Folks,” the album earned widespread critical acclaim, including Pitchfork’s coveted “Best New Music” designation, while The Guardian praised the collection as “a delight, from start to finish.”
“Young Folks” became one of the most recognizable indie songs of its era, propelled by its instantly memorable whistled melody and enduring presence across film, television, advertising, and popular culture. Twenty years later, both the song and the album continue to resonate with longtime fans and new listeners alike.
