While The Wonder Years' upcoming U.S. tour is already going to be brilliant in its own right, given the fact the Philly gang are performing all of 2010's The Upsides and 2011's Suburbia I've Given You All and Now I'm Nothing in full at each show, but now the band have announced how they'll be making the whole thing more inclusive and accessible.

As well as the fairly standard COVID policies (fans will require either proof of vaccination, or a negative test within 48 hours of the show), TWY have shared that each venue on the 39-date tour has guaranteed that there will be "at least one easily identifiable gender neutral bathroom", and "signage will be hung and any venue staff members will be able to help locate one".

On top of that, they've checked their production and light show in terms of sensitivity, and said that they had back a "yellow caution rating", which means that "the show isn't harsh or unfriendly but that it's best to err on the side of caution".
