Sparta has announced a summer tour in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their album Wiretap Scars, originally released in August 2002. The lineup at that moment was Jim Ward, Paul Hinojos, and Tony Hajjar, shortly after the break of At the Drive-In.
The new tour begins on May, featuring a lineup of Ward, Matt Miller, and drummer Neil Hennessy. The band released a self-titled album in 2022 (Dine Alone Records).
