Memphis-based rock band Sleep Theory is officially set to hit the road again this fall with the second leg of their headline run. The trek has been named the Afterglow Tour II.
Following a debut album and a spring tour across North America, the band is now gearing up to bring their music, which mainly blends hard rock, metalcore, pop, and R&B, to a new batch of cities.
Sleep Theory's debut album, Afterglow, was officially dropped on May 16, 2025, via Epitaph Records. It was produced by David Cowell with mixing by Zakk Cervini. The album got a spot on Amazon Music's breakout heavy music lists. The record also landed on the Billboard 200 at No. 117.
Sleep Theory took to their official Instagram page to announce the latest tour. The post read:
"The Afterglow Tour Part II with @nevertelofficial, @oxymorrons, and @strayviewofficial. Presale starts tomorrow at 10am CT with code: AFTERGLOW. VIP on sale tomorrow at 10am CT at sleeptheory.soundrink.com. Public on sale Friday at 10am local. We will see you out there."
Notably, Sleep Theory is bringing back the same support lineup from the first leg: Nevertel, Oxymorrons, and Stray View.
Sleep Theory was formed in Memphis in 2020. The band first gained attention from fans and enthusiasts with singles like "Fallout" and "Numb." By early 2025, they landed their first No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with "Stuck In My Head." The group is fronted by Army veteran Cullen Moore.
Sleep Theory's debut album, Afterglow, is a collection of 12 tracks. It includes the aforementioned hits and newer material like "Static" and "Paralyzed." The complete tracklist is as follows:
- Static
- Hourglass
- III
- Fallout
- Stuck In My Head
- Gravity
- Afterglow
- Numb
- Parasite
- Just A Mistake

- Words Are Worthless
Sleep Theory also made an official Instagram post to announce the release of Afterglow. The post read:
"Our debut album Afterglow is out now. We put everything into this record and made sure every detail was perfect….to make it exactly what it needed to be and exactly what you all deserve to hear. Go stream it, download it, and check out the new video for Gravity. See you on tour."
