Flyleaf play the Aztec Theatre on Sunday, July 26 — a San Antonio date that was not in the original press release. When Live Nation announced this tour in February, the itinerary ran 14 cities and routed straight from Houston on the 25th to Phoenix on the 28th. San Antonio got added in afterward. For a band with deep Texas roots playing a 20th anniversary run with original vocalist Lacey Sturm back in the lineup, the added date reads less like a routing afterthought and more like a correction. The Aztec at 1,477 capacity is a legitimately sized room for where this version of the band is operating in 2026 — not overclaiming, not underselling.
About Flyleaf
Flyleaf began in Texas as Passerby, a collaboration between Lacey Sturm and James Culpepper. After adding Sameer Bhattacharya and Jared Hartmann, the group built a grassroots following across the state before officially becoming Flyleaf in 2004. Their self-titled debut arrived in 2005 and went platinum. “All Around Me” went four times platinum; “I’m So Sick” went double platinum; “Fully Alive” went platinum. These are legitimate numbers from a real run during the mid-2000s hard rock moment, and Sturm’s voice was central to all of it.
Sturm departed in October 2012. Kristen May stepped in and recorded Between the Stars in 2014 before leaving as well. The band went quiet for years. Then the 2023 festival circuit changed the calculus: the first show back with Sturm happened April 27, 2023, in Belton, Texas — eleven years after her departure. Sick New World, Louder Than Life, and Aftershock followed. The crowd appetite was clearly there. This summer’s headline run is the first proper touring cycle since that reunion: 14 cities across July, bookended by Atlanta’s Tabernacle and House of Blues Anaheim. The billing reads “Flyleaf with Lacey Sturm” rather than a straight Flyleaf reunion — a framing that likely reflects a legal or contractual arrangement. What it means for a ticket buyer is simpler: she’s performing. Deluxe vinyl reissues of the self-titled debut and Memento Mori arrive this summer via Interscope, giving the tour a commercial anchor beyond the anniversary angle.
