American rockers Dashboard Confessional have announced that they will release their first ever best of compilation album titled The Best Ones Of The Best Ones on January 31st 2020.

The 20-track collection will draw on the band’s rich back catalogue, taking in all seven studio albums, the So Impossible and The Drowning EPs, and their MTV Unplugged performance.

In a press release confirming the album, lead singer Chris Carrabba said: “The fact that my music has had an effect on anybody’s life besides mine is so humbling, and one of the greatest parts of that has been getting to know the people who have become fans over the years.  

“Because the thing is that people can choose your band, but it doesn’t work the other way around—you don’t get to choose your fans. I always feel so incredibly lucky these are the fans who ended up choosing us.” 

The band – who celebrate 20 years together this year – have also confirmed details of a 32-date North American tour in February and March next year.

The #DC20 tour, as it’s been named, starts in Dallas on February 4th 2020, and ends in Nashville on March 28th 2020. Support on the tour comes from The Get Up Kids and Piebald.
