History
Meet Me at the Altar was formed in 2015, when Téa Campbell met Ada Juarez through YouTube; the latter had posted a number of videos covering pop-punk songs, and Campbell subsequently reached out.[3] In time, the two developed a friendship that turned into the band. To locate a vocalist, Campbell and Juarez held auditions online.[3] Edith Victoria was one of the individuals who tried out for the position, submitting a rendition of Paramore's "All I Wanted."[4][6] The name of the band refers to a text conversation between Campbell and Juarez, as Billboard notes: "The [name] stems from a text message Juarez sent Campbell in a bonding moment: 'I was like "marry me!"' says Campbell, 'and she typed, "meet me @ the altar."'"[4]
In 2020, the band went viral, partially in part of receiving public endorsements of pop-punk veterans Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low and Dan Campbell of The Wonder Years.[7][8] In October 2020, the band was subsequently signed to Fueled by Ramen.[4] After re-releasing "Garden" under Fueled By Ramen, they released their first new single under the label, "Hit Like a Girl", in March 2021.[9] Their debut EP for the label, Model Citizen, released on August 13, 2021.[10]
In 2022 the band performed at several large venues such as Lollapalooza[11] and TwitchCon, as well as opening for Green Day.[12] In January 2023, they made their television debut on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, during which they announced their debut album, Past // Present // Future, which was released on March 10, and performed its lead single, "Say It (To My Face)."[13] In September 2024, Meet Me at the Altar released their first live album, Live at the Forum, recorded at the KIA Forum in 2023 whilst the band were supporting 5 Seconds of Summer.[14]
On April 4, 2025, Meet Me at the Altar announced that Campbell had left the band to "embark on a new chapter" and the band was no longer signed to Fueled By Ramen,[15] having been dropped from the label the year prior following the departure of its staff amidst mergers with 300 Elektra Entertainment and Atlantic Music Group.[16] The band signed with LAB Records in July,[17] and released their fifth EP, Worried Sick, on December 5, 2025.[18][19] The band are due to embark on a North American tour in support of the EP in January and February 2026 with Pollyanna.[20]
