Their debut album How to Save a Life became a cultural phenomenon, featuring chart-topping hits like “Over My Head (Cable Car)” and the title track, which spent 58 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned quadruple platinum certification. Follow-up albums The Fray, Scars & Stories, and Helios continued their legacy with fan favorites like “You Found Me” and “Never Say Never,” earning Grammy nominations and solidifying their place among the most impactful rock acts of the 2000s. Their latest EP The Fray Is Back marks a new chapter, with Joe King stepping into lead vocals and a revitalized sound that blends introspection with cinematic energy.
Known for their commanding stage presence and emotionally immersive performances, The Fray have played sold out shows at iconic venues including The Wiltern, Ryman Auditorium, and Pier 17 in New York City. Their live sets are praised for their heartfelt delivery, nostalgic energy, and intimate crowd interaction—often featuring acoustic interludes, surprise guests, and fan singalongs.

Critics and fans alike describe their concerts as cathartic, cinematic, and unforgettable.
Currently touring through 2026, The Fray continue to captivate audiences with their signature blend of piano-led rock and soul-searching lyricism.
