Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; Tomorrow's Problem Tomorrow's Problem is an energetic and upbeat band from Columbia, South&#160; Carolina. Formed at the University of South Carolina, the band later moved to&#160; Charleston, SC to craft their debut EP. Drawing inspiration from legends like Jimi&#160; Hendrix and Red Hot Chili Peppers, along with modern influences like Spacey&#160; Jane and Mt. Joy, Tomorrow's Problem has built a reputation for their captivating&#160; live shows. Their sets are a high energy blend of dynamic moments, and a&#160; crowd that feels like part of the show.&#160; After wrapping up their first tour across 22 cities in the fall of 2025, the band is&#160; diving into new recordings and leaning into a fresh creative direction, while&#160; already looking forward to getting back on the road and hitting even more new&#160; places in 2026.]]></description>

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM &#160; Scoochie Boochie Scoochie Boochie was born from a volcano, and now he&#8217;s the best rapper in the United States.&#160; In celebration of the release of his sixth album: The Drinking Fountain of Youth, he is embarking on a tour around North America, debuting brand new songs alongside viral hits like &#8220;I Have Sex&#8221; and &#8220;Car Butt&#8221;. Scoochie Boochie's music sits at the intersection of rap, comedy, and lore.&#160; Cinematic skits connect the songs, weaving a story across multiple albums full of sharp wordplay and oddball premises. After 10 years grinding in the comedy scenes of Grand Rapids, MI and Chicago, the eruption finally began in January of 2025, when music videos for Car Butt, I Have Sex, and several other songs went viral, opening the floodgates for 400,000+ new fans who have discovered the rest of his catalog is also fire, and that he's shockingly good live.&#160;&#160;]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; Joe Kaplow Before I started my career I had a choice: to take over my parent's thoroughbred farm in New Jersey or pursue music full time in California and relinquish the farm to sale.&#160; I still wonder what life would have looked like had I stayed, but who can resist the gold rush?&#160; Besides, I plan to get back there one day on another farm with some other red barn. My music comes from life&#8217;s moments -- smelling 4 acres of freshly cut grass, watching the steam from a horse's breath in the early morning, finally holding the neck of my guitar after holding bridles and worn wooden handles all day.&#160; 4000 acres of freshly burnt wildfire, watching the steam from the Pacific Ocean's breath in the early morning, finally holding the neck of my guitar after clutching the worn steering wheel of the tour van all day.&#160; Now my reality is in Bonny Doon, CA, where mountains meet the sea. I am in my recording studio, aptly named Hippie Cowboy, every day.&#160; Slow and steady; keep it fun, stay engaged.&#160; All for the moment when the song finally sounds right.&#160; My dad passed away a couple years ago -- his bullwhip is on the wall, his Harley is in the driveway. He visits me in dreams, and oh, the moment I wake up!&#160; Sometimes I write for him. Sometimes for my mom, who I hope will move out to California soon. &#160; Maybe she could volunteer at an equestrian center... A person is made from their moments, like their music is made.&#160; I know this is a bio but I shouldn't have to say much.&#160; Listen to the record.&#160; If I've done my job well, you will know me by the end - "This is a special record to me.&#160; Unlike the past few, this one sounds like a more cohesive 'band' statement.&#160; Most of it was cut together live, in a room over five days. &#160; Rob, Elliott, and I had been playing for a long time with Mikey and then Hawes on drums, and while the music always felt great, the 'band' feeling hadn't made its way into the recording studio.&#160; 'Time Spent In Between' and 'Sending Money and Stems' were very pieced together albums; me playing most of the instruments, collaborating with many different drummers but working one song at a time, etc.&#160; However, when Jeff moved back from Nashville and joined the band, it felt more cohesive. Maybe we gelled because Jeff&#160; came from the same musical world. &#160; In our little family Jeff championed nicknames, Elliott invented musical travel games, and Rob and I rolled our eyes at their enthusiasm for Arby's. &#160; We travelled around sharing our art and feeling free. &#160; When we went to Enterprise, OR to record the first session, most of the songs were learned on the spot. &#160; We strove for the zenith moments when we knew the song well enough to not make errors but still had to fly by the seats of our pants to keep it from coming unglued.&#160; Everything has an arc like this.&#160; After all, when you know something well enough you can take the present for granted. After those sessions we toured our new songs for a year (it usually goes the other way around) and decided some of the songs were misunderstood the first time so we recorded them again, live and together.&#160; I am thankful and proud of that process and proud of them.&#160; The music captured on this record occurred in very special moments between four people who had a special bond, musically and beyond. We hope you enjoy it."]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; LEAP LEAP is a plethora of rock and roll-induced extremes; a supersonic dance through the depths of lead- singer Jacky&#8217;s twisted and brilliant mind. Combining heavy riffs and beats, the odd sprinkle of electronica &#160; and anthemic pop, Jacky&#8217;s unique vocals take you on a journey through London&#8217;s underbelly and his own struggles with mental health. The past 2 years have been completely game-changing. With over 50,000 tickets sold across the UK and Europe, a top 10 self-released debut album, and a sold out tour of USA in March 2026, it&#8217;s the reaction to the band&#8217;s explosive gigs that is driving a highly-engaged international fanbase. The first 3 EPs saw a swell of editorial support across DSPs, further proof of the band&#8217;s intoxicating blend of hard rock and singalong pop. With a growing list of supporters at the likes of BBC Radio 1, Kerrang! Rolling Stone, MTV, Virgin Radio, Flux FM, BBC Radio 6, BBC Introducing, LEAP are fast-approaching undeniable status in a thriving global rock scene.]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; Vethaken Vethaken (formally Pravin Thompson Quartet) is the Brain Child of Guitarist, Pravin Thompson. This project has been performing in the United States, Canada, and India over the last 10 years but only recently has dawned a new Identity. Vethaken is a mix of Post-Hardcore and Prog-Jazz.&#160; Vethaken means wise eyes in &#8220;Tamil,&#8221; a South Indian language that Pravin&#8217;s family speaks. This name has significance in his family tree, but to Pravin it is more of a mantra. For him, it means you can always find beauty in whatever struggle that is presented to you, as most of the music in the Vethaken catalog has been written during times of distress.&#160; &#160; In 2019 Pravin was able to bring his band to play the Toronto Undergraduate Jazz Festival, opening for the incredible Donny McCaslin.&#160; &#160; In March 2020 Vethaken released their first LP, &#8220;A Thoughtful Collapse.&#8221; With the pandemic in full swing the band relied heavily on digital marketing. Utilizing Facebook and Instagram Ads along with great content to build a solid fan base throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. &#160; As of April 2026, Vethaken has made over $20,000 in online Merch sales across the United States. They have generated well over 1600 customers. Their next EP, &#8220;I&#8217;m all out of Beautiful Thoughts,&#8221; has been gaining traction across streaming platforms, and has brought a whole new dimension to their current sound.&#160; &#160; We Used to Cut The Grass We Used to Cut the Grass is a shapeshifting experimental ensemble from New Jersey led by composer/bassist Cody McCorry. Known for wildly varying instrumentation, the band is heavily inspired by the likes of Frank Zappa, John Zorn and Sun Ra, with roots in the blurred zone between progressive rock and jazz fusion.&#160; The group&#8217;s sophomore album, &#8220;We Used to Cut the Grass #2,&#8221; the follow up to their similarly self-titled album released in 2022, simultaneously made waves in the jazz, prog and math rock scenes, affirming the band&#8217;s unorthodox approach to composition. The album made it into Arctic Drones&#8217; top 20 best jazz fusion albums of 2025, who described it as &#8220;a beautiful mess you didn&#8217;t know you needed." My So Called Summer-For more than a decade, songwriter Claire Cuny and composer/producer Monte Weber have co-created the Brooklyn-born indie project first known as Reliant Tom and now re-imagined as My So-Called Summer. Blending Monte&#8217;s textural, boundary-pushing production with Claire&#8217;s visceral choreography and haunting vocals, the duo carved out a singular space in the Brooklyn indie scene&#8212;one that lived equally onstage, onscreen, and in immersive performance environments.]]></description>

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; Andres Hailing from Bakersfield, CA(home to iconic country music star, Buck Owens and the Nu-METAL pioneers in Korn) Andr&#233;s' persistent touring schedule and ability to frequently release quality music will earn him a street named after him in no time. Although The Fall of Troy and Hail the Sun have been nice enough to let him open up their shows, Andr&#233;s has had trouble being embraced by the progressive post-hardcore community due to his embarrassingly cheesy lyrics and obvious musical show tune influences. Andr&#233;s' social media bio reads "I ain't nothin but a jazz hound baby." &#160; In Angles In Angles is a progressive post-hardcore band hailing from East Brunswick, New Jersey. Formed in the early 2010s, the band has developed a distinctive sound characterized by intricate guitar work, dynamic rhythms, and emotive vocals. Their discography includes several releases that showcase their evolution as artists. In 2014, they debuted with the EP &#8220;Upstairs,&#8221; introducing listeners to their complex musical arrangements and heartfelt lyrics.&#160; Their newest record &#8220;The Light We Can&#8217;t Escape&#8221; received critical acclaim, highlighting their blend of technical proficiency and punk energy and further cementing their place in the progressive post hardcore and punk scene.&#160; &#160; Resilia Resilia was founded by guitarist John Benoit in 2018. The post hardcore band&#8217;s line up now includes vocalist Daisy Chamberlin (previouslyofIMetaYeti), Ethan Cate on bass, Grant Dickerson on drums, and guitarists Gray Trainer and Owen Robinson. Initially struggling to find a vocalist, Resilia released instrumental versions of "RoyalFlush"(2019) and "Gambit" 2020). With the bones of their sound recorded, the band connected with vocalist Daisy Chamberlin who soon became a full-time member. The band has performed and toured since 2022, debuting at Chain Reaction(Anaheim,CA) opening for Makari, and has gone on to play cities throughout the country including Chicago, Dallas, SanAntonio, Houston, and Orlando. Resilia released their debut EP in 2023, revealing their personalized take on the progressive post-hardcore sound. Carving out a distinct space in this scene, word of mouth has led to more than five million streams across digital platforms and a partnership with kill iconic, who will release the band&#8217;s debut showcase, By A Thread, in May2026.]]></description>

He wants it to feel human, and purely from himself and his upbringing; his music calls back to the CDs his Dad burnt onto an iPod Nano gifted to him for Christmas when he was eleven, and he feels it&#8217;s supposed to. Some call it nostalgic. He can&#8217;t tell. He also doesn&#8217;t really care. He&#8217;s currently in school to be a high school history teacher. He likes cooking dinner for his friends and going on half marathon-long walks a whole lot more than music. And you can tell that, as well. Some call it slacker rock, and they&#8217;re not wrong. His music comes across as if he just so happened to make it, and that&#8217;s exactly what makes it.&#160; His new album, &#8220;Picture of Health,&#8221; is out June 6th, 2025. Its ten tracks total to a mere 34 minutes, and its theme is just as simple; it&#8217;s really nothing more than an album about being twenty, made by a twenty-year-old. And you can tell.]]></description>

Blending warm, folk-tinged vocals with dance-floor energy and introspection, Minkin &#8220;finds her own creative voice, shimmering, rhythmic, and heartfelt&#8212;both bold and refreshingly sincere&#8221; (Thoughts Words Actions blog).&#160; Caroline Quinn: With her indie/alternative sound, Caroline draws her listeners in with hard-hitting emotional lyrics, paired with a powerful melody. She takes people on a journey through each song with themes centering on mental health, relationships and death. In 2025 she released her debut EP&#160;The End of May&#160;and is currently recording her debut album with her producer Ross Bellenoit.&#160; &#160; Sarah Winston Sarah Winston is a Philly-based songwriter currently at work on her debut album.

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM &#160; Surf Trash Fresh off a sold out Australia + New Zealand tour, and the release of their second EP &#8216;Under The Radar&#8217; in January,&#160;Surf Trash are keeping the momentum going with the release of their newest single Spice It Up &#38; Aus regional tour to&#160;go with it.&#160;Spice It Up maintains Surf Trash's signature blend of gritty riffs and addictive high energy hooks - while&#160;demonstrating that with each new release, the group are challenging their sound that is varied and unique to their&#160;own. With a new 4th member but a lifelong brother of the group &#8216;Patrick Russell&#8217; now a part of the ST operation as&#160;lead guitarist.&#160;The NSW based quartet are more powerful than ever and are keen to share what they&#8217;re been working on. Spice It&#160;Up is a swirling miasma of driving punk with a catchiness that belies its gloomy tone. Raw, Roomy and hard-hitting,&#160;the outfit have focused on capturing their raw live sound that they a renowned for on the road.&#160;With a tip of the hat to the 90s Aus rock scene they grew up on, idolising greats such as The Celebrate Rifles and&#160;Radio Birdman. Scott&#8217;s rather unusual lyrics on the track &#8216;Systematic rompa-syompa&#8217; and &#8216;release the chompers&#8217; he&#160;says are about &#8220;not acting to a system or a fixed plan and living your life in freedom opposed to being controlled&#160;within the modern worlds box.&#8221; With this being the first taste of Surf Trash's forthcoming album, the hard-hitting track&#160;sets the standard for what's to come.]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets.Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PM &#160; Time Heals Everything Tour &#160; Blu &#38; Exile&#160; In 2007, while headlines were dominated by Kanye West vs. 50 Cent and the industry fixated on first-week sales, two artists on the West Coast were quietly crafting something timeless. Blu and&#160;Exile weren&#8217;t chasing the spotlight &#8212; they were building their own gravitational pull.&#160;On July 17, 2007, they released Below the Heavens &#8212; a debut that felt more like a sacred&#160;document than a first statement. Soul-soaked, sample-driven production. Raw, unfiltered&#160;vulnerability. No gloss. No gimmicks. Just truth pressed into wax.&#160;Early believers recognized it immediately. Underground purists and tastemakers hailed it as an&#160;instant classic. Limited to just 3,000 physical copies and leaked prematurely online, its scarcity&#160;only strengthened its mythology. If you had it, you understood. If you didn&#8217;t, you were already&#160;behind.&#160;Blu&#8217;s everyman reflections &#8212; grappling with faith, doubt, love, frustration, and ambition&#160;resonated deeply over Exile&#8217;s warm, golden-era-inspired soundscapes. Static in the samples.&#160;Dust in the drums. Pain and poetry in every bar. For the Okayplayer generation and beyond, it became a defining statement of West Coast underground hip-hop.&#160;The chemistry was organic. Introduced through Aloe Blacc of Emanon, Exile first witnessed Blu&#160;command a Los Angeles stage &#8212; hungry, electric, undeniable. One session became &#8220;Party ofTwo.&#8221; Then &#8220;Maintain.&#8221; Then a vision. A full-length statement. They knew it was special.&#160;By 2009, Blu&#8217;s momentum earned him a place in the XXL Freshman Class alongside Wale, Kid&#160;Cudi, B.o.B, and Charles Hamilton &#8212; proof that the underground could crown its own stars.&#160;But they never stopped building.&#160;The Albums That Followed&#160;After Below the Heavens, Blu &#38; Exile continued to evolve together across four full-length releases, each expanding their sonic universe while preserving their unmistakable chemistry.&#160;Meanwhile, Blu expanded his catalog with one-producer masterpieces alongside Madlib,&#160;Evidence, and Nottz, while collaborating with artists such as Anderson .Paak, Talib Kweli, Your&#160;Old Droog, and Rome Streetz.&#160;Exile solidified his reputation as a producer&#8217;s producer with the modern classic Boy Meets World&#160;for Fashawn, experimental projects like Exile Radio, and production credits for Mobb Deep, 50&#160;Cent. Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, and Snoop Dogg.&#160;Now, with nearly two decades of growth, experimentation, and refinement behind them, Blu &#38;&#160;Exile return not as hungry newcomers &#8212; but as master craftsmen of their own lane. Their latest&#160;offering doesn&#8217;t feel like just another release; it feels like culmination.&#160;For longtime listeners, it&#8217;s a reunion charged with nostalgia and elevation. For new fans, it&#8217;s an&#160;invitation into a world where lyricism and soul still reign supreme. The foundation is solid. The chemistry is proven. And history has shown: when Blu and Exile connect, something timeless follows. Album Announcement on the way.]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; Oceans in the Sky (NYC)Oceans in the Sky is Liam Frost&#8217;s high-energy project, blending soaring pop melodies with punk energy and multilingual lyrics. Now performing as a full band, they released their debut album&#160;Parallels&#160;in 2023 and toured throughout the U.S., Canada and Taiwan from 2023 to 2025. Signed to Philadelphia-based Heading East Records, run by Fred Mascherino (Taking Back Sunday), their latest release&#160;Parallels (Deluxe)&#160;was co-produced by Jon Markson (The Story So Far) and mastered by Brian Lucey (Green Day, Post Malone). It explores themes of identity and belonging while bridging Western and Eastern musical influences. &#160; Connor Lin Frost (VT)Burlington, VT-based Taiwanese-American artist Connor Lin Frost is a trumpeter, songwriter, and producer who explores themes of isolation, loss, and identity through dramatic strings and emotional brass that define his &#8220;chamber-pop&#8221; style. Drawing inspiration from Sufjan Stevens, The Postal Service, and Owl City, Frost uses storytelling-driven lyrics to invite listeners into deeply personal experiences. Since releasing his debut single &#8220;Real Friends&#8221; in December 2024, he has consistently released new self-produced music every 4-8 weeks. Frost previously fronted the NY-based pop-punk band Dizzy Bats for over a decade, touring across the U.S. and internationally from 2012 to 2023. &#160; No Trees Touch the Sky (Philadelphia)No Trees Touch the Sky emerged from the Philadelphia music scene in late 2023, formed by members of a previous project. Drawing from late &#8217;90s to mid-2010s post-hardcore, they blend ambient textures with indie sensibilities. Their releases, including &#8220;Chrysalis,&#8221; &#8220;3 Visits,&#8221; and &#8220;Enrythm,&#8221; showcase a dynamic range from mellow ambience to intense crescendos, delivering emotionally driven performances that continue to build a strong connection with their audience. &#160; The Earth &#38; All Within (Philadelphia)The Earth &#38; All Within represents a deliberate collision between the raw energy of late &#8217;90s and early 2000s rock and the refined elegance of classical music. Built on the duality of &#8220;The Earth&#8221; (grit, guitars, rebellion) and &#8220;All Within&#8221; (brought to life through a string quartet), the project blends veteran Philadelphia rock musicians with globally trained orchestral collaborators. The result is a cinematic, story-driven live experience that bridges rock and classical worlds.]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Band ("the CMBR band") emerged from Philadelphia's vibrant music scene in 2024, bringing together four distinct voices with a shared appetite for experimentation. Fronted by Renee on vocals and guitar, alongside Will on drums and vocals, Jimmy on guitar and Vanja on bass, the quartet quickly carved out a sound that resists common categorization. Drawing inspiration from across the musical spectrum, the CMBR band blends elements of indie rock, psychedelic textures, experimental noise, alt-country, improvisation and rhythmic grooves into something uniquely their own. Their songs often shift unexpectedly, layering melodic hooks over creative arrangements, while still maintaining an emotional core that is anchored by Renee's expressive vocals. Since forming, the band has built a reputation for immersive live performances and a willingness to push sonic boundaries, positioning themselves as one of the more intriguing new acts to come out of Philadelphia's ever-evolving music scene. tiktok.com/@cmbr_band &#160; Certain Luck Certain Luck balances light melodies and heavy textures to recapture the worn-out optimism of late 90s/early 2000s alt rock. Fans of Soccer Mommy, Slow Pulp, and Alvvays will find something to appreciate in the Philadelphia-based act's vulnerable musings delivered through distorted guitars and laid-back rhythms.

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM &#160; Triptides Over the last fourteen years and dozens of albums and singles, cosmic LA rockers Triptides have traversed a kaleidoscopic musical landscape of psychedelic rock, Laurel Canyon folk, and spaced out jazz pop &#8212; but each track can be traced back to the group&#8217;s leader, Glenn Brigman&#8217;s unique ability to craft and explore a seemingly infinite number of dimensional melodies and harmonies. With every line of Brigman&#8217;s airy vocals that dance across the tape and into the speakers, stoners, trippers and lovers alike are transported to a sweet and familiar place, lifted by chiming guitars, hypnotic drums, glittering pianos and hallucinogenic fuzz.Each Triptides recording is a personal reflection, an unexpected evolution and honest testament to The Song. And the next one will be no different. Catch Triptides live, and you&#8217;ll see a band that shifts shapes and moods like lightning in a bottle, fluidly and fluently turning up and turning out &#8212; always taking the audience on a trip.Either way, you&#8217;ll want to find them out there.Now hear this:Triptides has just linked up with Label 51 Recordings for new releases in 2025 and onward, and another chapter is being written for the California rock and rollers.]]></description>

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; Opal In Sky Opal In Skyis a modern metal band fronted by twin brothers Dylonand Tyson, combining powerful riffs with uplifting, introspective lyricsto create a sound that&#8217;s both heavy and hopeful. These brothers are ona mission to write music that inspires, motivates, and encouragesthose who may be feeling lost. &#160; Level LEVELS are a cyber/industrial metal boy band from Arkansas known for fusing heavy music with elements of pop, electronic, and drum and bass. Since forming in 2016, they have independently amassed millions of streams, drawing influence from artists as diverse as Billie Eilish, The Prodigy, Static-X, and The Weeknd. &#160; Following the success of their 2023 EP&#160;PULSE&#160;on SharpTone Records, which surpassed 1 million streams, LEVELS aren't adding to the noise, they're building something new, sharp, and unapologetically their own. Their sound fuses digital grit with raw emotion; dark, distorted, and built to break through the static. LEVELS have built their rise on a fierce DIY ethic, steadily growing from small rooms to bigger stages, playing alongside bands such as: Kittie, ERRA, Beartooth, The Devil Wears Prada, and more. &#160; LEVELS are more than a band. Their ever evolving world is built from cinematic visuals, visceral performances, and immersive storytelling, standing out in a hyper-connected yet emotionally disconnected era. With each track, they seek to reignite authentic connection. As they continue to carve their path through the metal landscape, their mission remains clear: don&#8217;t bury emotion &#8211; embrace it, channel it, and turn it into something that makes you feel again. &#160; Mirrorcell https://www.mirrorcell.co/ &#160; &#160;]]></description>

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM &#160; Alela Diane More than a decade into one of contemporary folk&#8217;s most quietly extraordinary careers, Alela Diane returns with Who's Keeping Time? on May 22 via Fluff &#38; Gravy / Loose Music.&#160; The Portland songwriter&#8217;s seventh full-length came as the consequence of intuition, coincidence, and community. &#8220;I came to the end of a season last year,&#8221; Alela shares. &#8220;My daughters had grown a bit. I no longer had babies waking me in the middle of the night. I could hear myself think again.&#8221; More and more, those thoughts circled music.&#160; The ultimate spark for Alela&#8217;s return to her music community came in April of last year with the death of her close friend and mentor Michael Hurley &#8212; folk legend and indispensable presence in the Portland music scene. Tracked live in the attic of her 1892 Victorian home, Who&#8217;s Keeping Time? was produced by Sam Weber (Madison Cunningham, Anna Tivel) and brought to life with staples from the local music orbit, including members of the bands Lucius and Blind Pilot and fellow singer-songwriters Anna Tivel and AC Sapphire.&#160; Over the years, Alela's lustrous discography has gathered major critical acclaim from the likes of Pitchfork, NPR Music, The Guardian, and plenty more. UNCUT counted her work in their ambitious &#8220;50 best singer-songwriter albums&#8221; of all time roundup&#8212;a canon comprising John Lennon, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Paul Simon&#8212;with Consequence echoing that significance, declaring, &#8220;Hers is a timeless sound, that of a wayfaring troubadour, which only seems to come a few times a generation.&#8221;]]></description>

Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; Wim Tapley &#38; The Cannons&#160; Based in Athens, Georgia, Wim Tapley came of age playing shows in Washington D.C. where he honed his voice with the passion of a born troubadour. Since 2021, Wim and his live band The Cannons have called Athens home. His first week in Georgia, he made his way onto a local bill, etching a name for himself as a fresh and favorite hometown voice. He is ardently received by his ever-growing following at legendary venues like Eddie&#8217;s Attic and the Georgia Theatre, along with tours across the East Coast. Firmly rooted in Americana and dashed with catchy pop sensibilities, the swinging depths of neo-soul, and a sprinkling of riotous horns, Wim&#8217;s arresting sound is as fresh as it is ageless, as fevered as it is raucous fun. A sonic westward expansion of fuzzed-out guitars, saloon pianos, defiant horns, and dusty vocals, his discography blazes a new take on folk and soul while honoring the songwriting giants that paved the way before him like Jason Isbell, Bill Withers, and Chris Stapleton.&#160; &#160; Follow Wim on Spotify and Instagram and never miss out on the musical misadventures of the East Coast&#8217;s resident space cowboy.

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:00 PM &#160; Slim Chance Slim Chance is a Philly-based rock band that draws its sonic identity from British Invasion garage rock, American folk, blues, and late-70s power pop. The band came to be in 2025 when Liz Van Horn (vocals/guitar), Steve Newell (drums), Mike Dudolevitch (guitar/vocals) and John Cunningham (bass/vocals/production) joined forces and had so much fun playing together that they didn&#8217;t care if there was a &#8220;slim chance&#8221; anything would come of it. They are excited to have just released their debut EP &#8220;Kind of Love&#8221; this April.&#160; &#160; Tierney Greene Band&#160; Tierney Greene and her band of boys came together in early 2025 to play songs old and new, existential and neurotic, from Tierney&#8217;s brain and heart.&#160; Tierney and the boys have all been playing music throughout the area in various formats for many years.&#160; It has been said that the band&#8217;s sound includes serene melodies gliding over rhythms that stay in motion, synchronistic moments of coming together and falling apart, delicate melodic lines and chugging, driving, tender, sometimes raucous percussion.&#160; A tangible day dream through lyricism that feels like the moment that black-and-white tv meets color. &#160; The Sass Dave Cope and the Sass was formed in 2019. At the time, the band consisted of prolific Philadelphia singer songwriter Dave Cope on guitars, keyboards and vocals, Ethan Ryder on bass and Fred Berman on drums. The band cut their first self titled release in that same year. The album was met with great reviews and featured the minor hit single If Your Mama Only Knew. In 2022 the band released a follow up entitled Julee, including songs Cope had written much earlier, recorded with a previous band called Dave Cope and the English Breakfast, again with Ethan Ryder holding it down on the bass. The album was a hit among power pop aficionados and was named the #1 album of the year on David Bash&#8217;s International Pop Overthrow list of top records of 2022. Since then, Cope and the band have continued to release new music including the albums Songs Of Sea And Sky and Hidden From The World. The current line up includes Cope on guitars and vocals, Sarah Biemuller and Alison Wadsworth on backing vocals, Lucas Rinz on bass, Fred Berman on drums and Justin Mazer on lead guitar. Though only playing live shows here and there in the past couple years Sass has had some noteable appearances including opening for 90s legends Huffamoose at Ardmore Music Hall in 2025. Cope is continuing to release new music including the 2025 release Walmartyr. More full length albums are scheduled for release in 2026 and 2027. Many of the Sass records are available at Kool Kat Musik.]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM &#160; ANTiSEEN Long before it was fashionable, somewhere in the red clay rolling hills of rural North Carolina where time stands still and mass media culture merely flys over, a young Jeff Clayton was stewing up a mash of crazed ideas inspired by late night horror flicks, Saturday morning wrestling and the scratchy old records of Alice Cooper and Black Oak Arkansas. It was a potent and hazardous mix that, when given the blasting cap of punk rock, ignited one of the most infamous and iconic bands in rock &#38; roll; ANTiSEEN. Now, almost forty years later, Clayton still leads the charge - a bloodstained barnstorm of southern fried punk rock fury. Times and taste may change, but ANTiSEEN does not; diesle-fume piss and vinegar - and damn all the rest. What was once topical has long since become dated... But not ANTiSEEN. The toxic DNA bleeds thru the muddy roots. The genre defying influence and heritage no longer can be denied. One needs not look very far to recognize it. The spirit is eternal, the reality exceeds the myth... The legend continues... &#160; Bad Luck 13 UDA SAILIK]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; FELICITY Orlando&#8217;s FELICITY are redefining what pop punk and emo can sound like in 2026: stadium sized hooks built for chaos, catharsis, and community. Breakout singles &#8220;The Weather&#8221; and &#8220;GOD MODE&#8221; have pushed the band into a new lane. Anchored by a sound that bridges the anthemic power of Foo Fighters with the irreverent edge of Sum 41, FELICITY have built traction both online and on stage. Their viral content consistently reaches millions and they have shared the stage supporting legends like Fall Out Boy, The Used, and Story of the Year, along with festival appearances at Warped Cruise, So What?! Music Fest, and more. With their new album Mixtape, Vol. 2 (Out June 16th 2026) produced by Andrew Wade (A Day To Remember, Neck Deep), FELICITY is doubling down on their biggest strength: creating songs that hit like a mosh pit but stick like an arena chorus. They are a band in motion, actively building one of the most engaged fanbases in the alternative rock resurgence and positioning themselves as one of the next breakout live acts from North America. &#160; &#160; VIP Includes: Early Entry (1hr before GA doors) Acoustic Set Set of Signed Traded Cards Signed Poster Polaroid w/ the Band]]></description>

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM &#160; WiFiGawd&#160; WiFiGawd is a rapper and producer from the Washington, D.C. area whose style has been widely recognized as forward-thinking and distinct within the underground hip-hop landscape. Raised on a mix of reggae, classic hip-hop, and the rich musical culture of his city, he developed a creative perspective that blends tradition with experimentation. From an early age, WiFiGawd began making mixtapes and exploring music independently. Over time he built a prolific catalog through self-released projects and collaborations with a wide network of emerging producers, shaping a career rooted in independence and constant output. His music draws from a range of influences across different rap scenes and subgenres, moving fluidly between experimental textures and more classic, nostalgic sounds. The result is a style that reflects a vision of hip-hop unbound by regional borders. WiFiGawd&#8217;s creative process &#8212; discovering beats, building collaborative networks, and releasing music outside of industry trends &#8212; embodies a deeply DIY ethos. That hustle-driven approach resonates with communities that value self-determination, cultural exchange, and the diasporic movement of sound beyond traditional labels.

Iwas reaching from different periods in my life and into the present - somesongs were cinematic snapshots, others sobering realities or romanticisedmemories. Dreaming has always been a raincoat from reality and makingthe record allowed things to be processed in the real world&#8221;Resolutely genreless, it is Joseph&#8217;s singular voice and vision that unifiesthese tracks, cracking from raw rap self-expression to singing with soulful,understated, conviction. &#8220;This record is a product of my musical DNA,&#8221; hesays. &#8220;It feels original because it&#8217;s not trying to fit in one space - it&#8217;s all myinfluences at once. I grew up with soul music and r&#38;b being played aroundthe house, I&#8217;ve never not had rap music around me, and as I got older Ispent a lot of time in my headphones getting lost on the internet - which ledto a love of everything from electronic music to psychedelic records.&#8221;Moving to London to study filmmaking, Joseph began developing hisinstinctive visual sensibility. He has consequently directed all of his musicvideos to date, being hands on from initial storyboarding to editing andcolour grading - creating a cinematic, luscious perspective reflected in theaward-winning visuals for singles like &#8220;Thrilla&#8221; and &#8220;Monsoon&#8221;&#8220;I didn&#8217;t always have the resources I needed so I had to learn things formyself. I was always punching above my weight, and always self-sufficient- because I simply care too much about what I make&#8221; he says. &#8220;Beneaththe polished nature of what I&#8217;m releasing is someone who is trying to makethe best work I can while I&#8217;m here.&#8221; On &#8220;Peace of Mind&#8221; for instance, Joseph spits venomously over arumbling sub bass and earworming hook, channeling a younger version ofhimself who was in a darker place in his life and contrasting thatperspective with the confidence of now: &#8220;Recording the tears I never shed,&#8221;he raps. &#8220;Seasick&#8221; alternatively sees Joseph tap into a psychedelic-punk,indie-soul sensibility, recounting the turbulence of a relationship and howgoing through the storm is still worth it if you love someone. &#8220;Pluto Baby&#8221;plays through woozy synths and reverberating guitars, mixing drivinginstrumentals with sobering lyrics and &#8220;July&#8221; strikes a soulful, expansivenote as old friends Jorja Smith and Joseph rejoice and reflect on thejourney they have made.Alongside the record release and a forthcoming tour, Joseph is alsoplanning a new visual universe for the album&#8217;s videos, spanning shoots inWalsall, Paris and beyond to convey the depth of his creative universe. &#8220;Ijust wanted to push boundaries completely and make a classic record thatextends its magic into a visual world too,&#8221; Joseph says. &#8220;I want it to be atimeless thing that one day will have a future heritage. Something peoplealways come back to, get lost in and at the same time find something realin.&#8221; From Walsall to the world, Forever Ends Someday shows that Joseph&#8217;slegacy has only just begun.]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:00 PM &#160; Nick Karcher Pine Creek Academy Pine Creek Academy is a new Pop-Punk / Alt. Rock band from Allentown, Pennsylvania. Founding members, Keith Gensure and Nick Metz came from other notable acts such as "Take The Name" as well as &#160;performing with "Kulick". Adding Kyle Check on drums, this new band brings a high energy presence. Now with Theoria Records, their brand new EP &#8220;Liminal&#8221; is available everywhere. &#160; Sucker Punch Sucker Punch&#160;is a six-piece pop-punk and emo band hailing from&#160;Montclair, NJ. Originally a solo project by guitarist Andy Katz called&#160;Nude Shoes, the group rebranded in 2021 to better reflect their high-energy, technical sound. Drawing influence from early 2000s emocore like&#160;Thursday&#160;and modern pop-punk like&#160;The Story So Far, they are known for blending catchy melodies with introspective lyrics about mental health.&#160; &#160; Eevie Echo's and the Locations Sweaty, loud, and unapologetic, Eevie Echoes &#38; The Locations have come a long way from their open mic origins cementing themselves as a bedrock queercore act of the Brooklyn punk scene. They specialize in seamlessly blending the personal and the political. As a mostly trans band, their music addresses the struggles of the LGBTQ+ community, and confronts naysayers who seek to erase queerness from existence while always bringing raw power, pure emotion, and radical authenticity. The 4 piece consists of Eevie Echoes as lead vocalist, songwriter, and rhythm guitarist, Emma Taylor as backup vocalist and lead guitarist, Eliza Endless as backup vocalist and bassist, and Nick Grasso as drummer. The four have had a fruitful music career, playing notable shows alongside bands like Delilah Bon, Jasmine.4.t, Brennan Wedl, Vial, Shamir, Teenage Halloween and Kaonashi, as well as numerous festivals and headliner shows around the USA including Stoopfest and Punk Island. The quartet's debut album "The Cons Of Being A Wallflower" gained them significant attention and showed off the group's diverse sound and ability to play with genre, dabbling in ska, chiptune, emo, garage rock, pop punk and grunge. The group's newest single "Dead Elders" is equal parts an anthem of honor and resistance, both an homage to queer elders who fought tirelessly for the LGBT community to have a future and a reminder of the fight ahead.

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; Suzie Brown A 1970s-inspired folk-pop songwriter, Suzie Brown has chased her unique muse for a decade, making modern-day roots music that nods to the soul singers, heartland rockers, and blues artists who came before her. Gluing the sound together is the unforced voice and honest, autobiographical songwriting of a Renaissance woman who's not only an acclaimed musician, but also an Advanced Heart Failure cardiologist and mother of two. Her songs have earned recognition from the NewSong Music Competition, International Songwriting Competition, Independent Music Awards, Forbes and People Magazine. "I love everything about you, Suzie &#8212; you're wearing a lot of hats, and wearing them all very well," said broadcast journalist Gayle King during an episode of CBS This Morning that showcased Brown's unique balancing act between music, medicine, and motherhood. Brown turns that balancing act into music, rolling with the punches, adjusting to the changing times, and writing the ever-evolving soundtrack to her journey. &#160; Socials:Website: https://www.suziebrownsongs.com/&#160; Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Suziebrownmusicpage/&#160; Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/suziebrownsongs/?hl=en&#160; &#160; &#160; Videos: &#160; LIVE https://youtu.be/o3heA571XoU?si=lsvP1iBA8jJ_OlO7 OFFICIAL - https://youtu.be/716AhsLa6hs?si=yc6Yd5WAdhcOz7a_]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM &#160; Chris Acker In a genre full of tall tales and marketable lies, New Orleans&#8217; Chris Acker crafts candid songs &#8211; weaving his wit and woes into a body of work that exposes the stale plight of the American Songster to the honest, and sometimes hilarious, light of day. In the tradition of Guthrie and Prine, Chris lends a quavering voice to the half-rotten romance of the unremarkable and unrefined. Regardless if you&#8217;re sitting by a backyard fire on a muggy Louisiana night or standing stage-side in some far flung town, when you hear Chris Acker playing, you&#8217;re hearing the end result of countless hours of observing the masters of the craft&#8230;and the end result of repeating their mistakes. From the folk revival through the golden age of country music, deafened by punk shows and brass bands alike, Chris&#8217;s songwriting is a nod to the absurd yet muted brilliance that inhabits the molded corners of the bars he patrons and cratered street he treads, paired with a pained honesty that merits a long second look. Acker released his fourth full-length album, Famous Lunch, on Gar Hole Records in October of 2024. Famous Lunch contains some of his best work yet: laid back, country-rockers like &#8220;Wouldn&#8217;t Do For You (Buddy)&#8221; and &#8220;Shit Surprise&#8221; (which Paste Magazine called a &#8220;song of the year contender&#8221; in 2024), a few raucous, bar-ready joints like &#8220;Don&#8217;t You Know (Who I Think I Am)&#8221; and &#8220;Bunn Machine&#8221;, and tender, folky triumphs like &#8220;Stubborn Eyes&#8221; and &#8220;Eyelash&#8221;, all showcasing Chris&#8217; gift of building &#8220;vivid scenes at an impressively low word count&#8221; (No Depression).&#160; Acker tours solo or with his band The Growing Boys &#8212; Zach Thomas (bass), Nikolai Shveitser (pedal steel), Dave Hammer (guitar, vocals), Sam Gelband (drums, vocals), and occasionally Howe Pearson (piano). &#160; Creekbed Carter Hogan The music of Creekbed Carter Hogan (he/they) is a quiet act of defiance made at the end of your rope. It is the warm feeling of solidarity coursing through your body as you link arms with strangers. It is a hard-won laugh, brittle but brave, in the face of what hurt you the most. It is finding hope where there is none, asking questions when you&#8217;re told to stay quiet, demanding a future you believe in, and facing a world hellbent on destruction with community, enthusiasm, and joy.]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM &#160; Monolord Monolordare a Swedish doom/stoner power-trio known for their massive, earth-shaking riffs, hypnotic grooves, and emotionally heavy atmospheres. Formed inGothenburg in 2013, the band&#8212;guitarist/vocalist Thomas J&#228;ger, drummer EsbenWillems, and bassist Mika H&#228;kki&#8212;quickly rose to the forefront of modern doomwith a run of globally praised albums and relentless touring across Europe, NorthAmerica, South America, and major festivals like Hellfest, Desertfest, Psycho LasVegas, and Roadburn. Their records, includingEmpress Rising,V&#230;nir,Rust,andNo Comfort, cemented their reputation for blending crushing fuzz withmelodic undercurrents and immersive repetition. Now one of heavy music&#8217;s mostconsistent and beloved bands, Monolord are gearing up for their next chapterwitha new album arriving in2026&#8212;produced by legendary engineer Sylvia Massy andreleased via Relapse Records. &#160; Khemmis After eleven years of releasing albums and touring the world, Colorado&#8217;s Khemmis have become a pillar of the modern metal scene.&#160; &#8220;When we started this band, we had no expectations, no assumptions&#8212;we just wanted to play heavy metal,&#8221; says guitarist/vocalist Ben Hutcherson.&#160; Some artists strive for a legacy; Khemmis felt born with one. Upon releasing their 2015 debut Absolution, the Denver-based four-piece felt like old souls whose towering, spiritual doom metal connected with metalheads the world over. This was further cemented by 2016&#8217;s Hunted, which won the band international acclaim and was declared Album Of The Year by Decibel. 2018&#8217;s rollicking Desolation, 2020&#8217;s devotional Doomed Heavy Metal MLP (featuring a fan- favorite cover of Dio&#8217;s &#8220;Rainbow In the Dark&#8221;) and 2021&#8217;s searing Deceiver only reinforced the band&#8217;s monolithic sound and diehard following. It makes sense, then, that the Khemmis behind Khemmis&#8211;&#8212;Hutcherson, fellow vocalist/guitarist Phil Pendergast, drummer Zach Coleman, and newly-appointed bassist David Small&#8212;is different in many ways. While the band has often felt synonymous with the Denver metal scene, Pendergast and Coleman have since moved away to Washington and North Carolina respectively.&#160; And yet, Khemmis today feel more like the band they&#8217;ve always wanted to be than ever before. They believe not only in the power of the music they&#8217;re making, but their bandmates&#8217; ability to make it with them.]]></description>

After tearing through sold-out show after sold-out show on their 2025 North America tour, the duo return to the US with unfinished business. &#160; What started as a couple old South London chaps having a laugh, has become a full-scale takeover. Armed with razor-sharp wordplay, heavyweight production and zero filter, the Cockney geezers have been turning packed venues into absolute chaos across the globe. &#160; This year, Pete &#38; Bas return to America to finish the job. Brace yourselves. &#160; Delivery Boys Meet Delivery Boys, Brooklyn&#8217;s waviest alternative rap group, established in 2015 by founding members Max Gertler and Goldwood. The duo&#8212;originally actual delivery boys for local delis&#8212;formed the collective out of a shared love for hip-hop and the cultural richness of New York City. Daily cyphers, late-night sessions, and mutual music obsessions laid the foundation for their early recordings. The group expanded in 2016 with the addition of YGB and LOSTBOYBK, kicking off a new era for Delivery Boys. They caught fire with the breakout single &#8220;Pissed Off&#8221; featuring Rich the Kid in August 2017, which racked up over 1 million streams across platforms. The buzz landed them a spot on Pigeons and Planes' list of Best New Artists that year. Over the next few years, they continued to expand their sound and audience.&#160; In 2019, they teamed up with Y2K for the collaborative EP 30 Minutes or Less, and dropped their debut full-length album Tandem in 2020, which included fan favorites like &#8220;YGB Rapping All Fast&#8221; and &#8220;Batman.&#8221; DI$NEY 2 followed in 2021, and Confused by Computers arrived in 2022, each project exploring new sonic territory while staying rooted in the group's raw chemistry and storytelling. In the last year, they&#8217;ve evolved into full-blown internet sensations. Their viral On The Radar freestyles&#8212;rapping over unexpected beats like Coldplay&#8217;s &#8220;Viva La Vida&#8221; and Ke$ha&#8217;s &#8220;Die Young&#8221;&#8212;earned them a wave of new fans and media attention. What truly sets Delivery Boys apart is the bond they share&#8212;the whole crew has been friends for years, and that brotherhood fuels their energy, creativity, and the undeniable camaraderie that pulses through their music. They&#8217;ve since gone on a nationwide tour with Ben Beal and Aaron Veal, brought their energy to major platforms like Bootleg Kev and No Jumper, and dropped 10 releases in 2025 alone. Their momentum is undeniable: the group has 10x&#8217;d their social media following in the past year, cementing their place as one of the most original voices in underground hip-hop. Known for electrifying live shows, fearless genre-blending, and a deep-rooted connection as both artists and lifelong friends, Delivery Boys continue to push boundaries and build a world entirely their own. &#160;]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM &#160; TsuShiMaMiRe TsuShiMaMiRe are a legendary Japanese rock trio formed in 1999 featuring Mari (lead vocals, guitar), Yayoi (bass, bv), and Asami (drums, bv). In 2024 they celebrated their 25th anniversary as a band- touring throughout USA and Japan for 6 months, and releasing 3 more albums! These girls never stop winning over the audiences with each passing show, spreading intense emotions and raw energy via thousands of live performances, 19 USA and 7 European tours, and 23 full-length album releases. Their music has been featured on TV, film, animation, and video games. Their musical style ranges from hardcore noise to introspective indie rock, with traces of heavy funk disco and pop sentimentality. Mariʼs quirky lyrics question social conventions and the anxieties of everyday life, rebellion, and love. Her vocals excel in melodic expressivity, ranging from child-like wonder to tragic despair. Yayoiʼs groove is like that of a vengeful banshee in the throes of passion, suddenly pivoting from the stoic determination of a samurai in battle to the elegance and light-heartedness of a Japanese house cat. Asami is the newest member of TsuShiMaMiRe. Her technical versatility and power will add a new dimension to the songs! Latest News Highlights: KEXP Seattle radio and streaming session ! Epic Games original theme song featured in Fortnite Festival ! Opened for Jack White in sold shows in Portland and Tokyo! 25th anniversary at Club Quattro Tokyo with live album / DVD release ! &#160; &#160; Countdown From Ten Countdown from Ten is an instrumental math rock trio from South Philadelphia. Consisting of Daphne Getty (drums), Ariel Golden (bass), and Cameron Davidson (guitar), the three have been considered the upper crust of the scene since 2018.&#160; The group is known and renowned for their explosive live shows and unique sound. Countdown has broken bread on the national stage with acts such as Hail the Sun, Daikaiju, The Ben Levin Group, Standards, Floral, Satyr and Dysrhythmia. The band&#8217;s music, captured on two available EPs, Speakeasy Petting Zoo (2018) and On the Instability of Air (2020), is characterized by odd but danceable rhythms, bizarre yet catchy hooks, highly effected guitar tones, and savory fills and rolls served up by Daphne. They have been compared to Tera Melos, And So I Watch You From Afar, and Town Portal. Since the release of Countdown from Ten&#8217;s second EP, fans have been eagerly awaiting new music from the trio. They will not need to wait much longer, as the group has been dropping crumbs hinting at new songs and promise a full length record is well underway.&#160;]]></description>

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; THE UNLIKELY CANDIDATES One listen to The Unlikely Candidates (Kyle Morris, Cole Male, Brent Carney &#38; Jared Hornbeek) and it&#8217;s clear that the Fort Worth, TX alternative rock mavericks create their own scene. One song vaults from stadium anthem into a piano ballad, while the next twists from syncopated singalong into a contemporary grunge-influenced pop song. Hailing from Texas, the boys immediately separated themselves since uniting in high school. Breaking from the typical musical traditions associated with the Lone Star State, they turned up with an alternative style of their own. They challenged the status quo and carved out their own niche in Fort Worth. The band has logged countless miles on the road alongside everyone from Cage The Elephant, Sublime with Rome, The Offspring, Young The Giant, The Dirty Heads, Fall Out Boy, The Goo Goo Dolls, &#38; most recently 311. As they&#8217;ve grown as a band, the boys have earned acclaim from the likes of The New York Times, AXS, Esquire, Nylon, Alternative Press, Baeble, and more. Additionally, the band&#8217;s music has been featured on Hulu&#8217;s Veronica Mars, Showtime&#8217;s Ray Donovan, ABC's American Idol, FOX's The Four, NFL's Super Bowl 2018 playoffs, and ESPN's 2018 Indy 500. &#160; James Bruner &#160; Panic Sets In &#160;]]></description>

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; The Jack Rubies UK band The Jack Rubies&#160;emerged from the British C86 indie-pop movement, and are&#160;known for their cutting, intelligent lyrics and "noir-tinged" guitar pop. First active in the late 1980s, the group gained a cult following in the U.S. Their 1987 single "Be with You" became a favorite on college radio and MTV&#8217;s&#160;120 Minutes.&#160;With Ian Wright on vocals and guitar, SD Ineson on guitar, bassist Steve Brockway, percussionist Lawrence Giltnane and Peter Maxted on drums, the Rubies debuted with their mini album "Witch-Hunt in Lotusland" (1986).&#160;They went on to sign with New York&#8217;s TVT Records and released two albums on the label - "Fascinatin&#8217; Vacation" (1988) and "See the Money In My Smile" (1990).&#160;During their first run, they toured with notable acts such as They Might Be Giants, Modern English, and Katrina and the Waves,&#160; before disbanding for over three decades. In 2024, the original lineup delivered a new, critically lauded album, "Clocks Are Out Of Time". Their fourth album,&#160;"Visions In The Bowling Alley",&#160;was released Jan 23, 2026.

Very impressive. But we're more interested in the music, a retro cocktail that recalls the yearning indie-pop of Sarah Records; the '80s neo-Byrds jangle of R.E.M., Orange Juice and other seminal college radio artists, and tight, throbbing basslines and slashing guitars that evoke the Jam and the Clash."&#160;&#160; dotdashdc.bandcamp.com/]]></description>

The Strike released theirdebut album "Faint of Heart" in June of 2017, which was met with great enthusiasmnationally. The success of the record allowed them to expand their presence into LosAngeles from the greater Mountain West region where the band started.

In an age of musicalminimalism, The Strike is reminiscent of rock bands from the 70's and 80's. They featuretrue showmanship in an age where the art of performance has been forgotten. ChrisCrabb's vocal style is akin to rock vocalists such as John Waite, or Steve Perry. The bandmembers are all students at their craft.

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; Dinner Time&#160; Dinner Time was founded in Atlanta, GA in 2018 as a collaborative project, focused on bringing together songwriters from several existing groups. Influenced by garage rock, saccharine 60s melodies, and a DIY mentality, the group released their debut album DINNER TIME in 2019. The group continued to redefine their sound on subsequent LPs Halfway Down (2021) and Technicolor (2024), adding moody synthesizers, more psychedelic production techniques, and leaning into jazzier changes. The quintet has spent the years in between touring the country, appearing at Treefort Music festival, SXSW, and even collaborating with the Atlanta Braves. Now the band has come full circle, and is ready to share DINNER TIME 2. This album represents a return to form, back to the familiar influences of their debut, now with years of experience under their belts. Layers of acoustic guitars and mellow pianos evoke the sounds of the 70s, while catchy melodies and soaring guitar harmonies hint at the band&#8217;s varied influences (which include the Zombies, the Beatles, the Doobie Brothers, Randy Newman, CSNY, and Masayoshi Takanaka). Produced in collaboration with Clark Hamilton (Klark Sound, Improvement Movement), DINNER TIME 2 will be released on May 8, 2026 via Dinner Time Records.&#160; &#160; Ernest Strawfield&#160; &#160; Shred Flinstone &#160;]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; Andres Hailing from Bakersfield, CA(home to iconic country music star, Buck Owens and the Nu-METAL pioneers in Korn) Andr&#233;s' persistent touring schedule and ability to frequently release quality music will earn him a street named after him in no time. Although The Fall of Troy and Hail the Sun have been nice enough to let him open up their shows, Andr&#233;s has had trouble being embraced by the progressive post-hardcore community due to his embarrassingly cheesy lyrics and obvious musical show tune influences. Andr&#233;s' social media bio reads "I ain't nothin but a jazz hound baby." &#160; In Angles In Angles is a progressive post-hardcore band hailing from East Brunswick, New Jersey. Formed in the early 2010s, the band has developed a distinctive sound characterized by intricate guitar work, dynamic rhythms, and emotive vocals. Their discography includes several releases that showcase their evolution as artists. In 2014, they debuted with the EP &#8220;Upstairs,&#8221; introducing listeners to their complex musical arrangements and heartfelt lyrics.&#160; Their newest record &#8220;The Light We Can&#8217;t Escape&#8221; received critical acclaim, highlighting their blend of technical proficiency and punk energy and further cementing their place in the progressive post hardcore and punk scene.&#160; &#160; Resilia Resilia was founded by guitarist John Benoit in 2018. The post hardcore band&#8217;s line up now includes vocalist Daisy Chamberlin (previouslyofIMetaYeti), Ethan Cate on bass, Grant Dickerson on drums, and guitarists Gray Trainer and Owen Robinson. Initially struggling to find a vocalist, Resilia released instrumental versions of "RoyalFlush"(2019) and "Gambit" 2020). With the bones of their sound recorded, the band connected with vocalist Daisy Chamberlin who soon became a full-time member. The band has performed and toured since 2022, debuting at Chain Reaction(Anaheim,CA) opening for Makari, and has gone on to play cities throughout the country including Chicago, Dallas, SanAntonio, Houston, and Orlando. Resilia released their debut EP in 2023, revealing their personalized take on the progressive post-hardcore sound. Carving out a distinct space in this scene, word of mouth has led to more than five million streams across digital platforms and a partnership with kill iconic, who will release the band&#8217;s debut showcase, By A Thread, in May2026.]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:00 PM &#160; lolitslea Growing up in the small, yet touristy beach town of Point Pleasant, New Jersey, lolitslea was homegrown from every and all kinds of music that came out of the Asbury Park alternative scene and Warped Tour era. The independent artist has intertwined the boldness of punk and the colors of pop to bring back the bright sounds of the Neon Pop Punk scene we all grew to love in the mid 2000s. Think Artist Vs Poet or early Fall Out Boy. &#160; After topping the charts with her college a cappella group (Twisted Measure) lolitslea set off to grow her project. lolitslea&#8217;s sound has been produced and developed by emo icons such as Chase Coy (formally with Universal Music Group), Tom Denney (formally A Day To Remember), Roye Robley (Meet Me @ The Altar, Fluorescents) with features from Kellin Quinn (Sleeping With Sirens), Joshua Roberts (Magnolia Park), and glimmers. &#160; lolitslea just released and toured on her debut full-length album in October 2024. Following that, she&#8217;s been busy in writing sessions with Dan Swank (All Time Low, Taylor Acorn), Cassadee Pope (Hey Monday), Cameron Walker, and many more. &#160; &#160; ColorMeKrazy! The brainchild of a bedroom-pop artist &#38; an ex-scene kid, ColorMeKrazy! is a collective of musicians/maniacs hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina. &#160; In 2023, vocalist &#38; producer Mia Brunal teamed up with guitarist &#38; recording engineer Tom Detrick to meld the saccharine aesthetic &#38; sensibilities of modern hyperpop artists (Brakence, 100 Gecs, Charlie XCX) with the powerful, dark, scream-crying-in-the-rain-angst of yesteryear&#8217;s emo titans (My Chemical Romance, Senses Fail, Taking Back Sunday) into it&#8217;s own unique flavor of electronic pop-punk music. &#160; The band hit the ground running with the inclusion of their second guitarist/manager/band dad, Drew Hutchins. Beyond a rotating roster of additional friends, these three are the brains, brawn, &#38; pretty, pretty faces that make up ColorMeKrazy! at it&#8217;s core. &#160; Valendina Philly&#8217;s Valendina is an alternative rock quartet drawing from post-emo and pop-punk influences while forging a sound of their own. Their music balances emotional urgency with authentic songwriting and dynamic arrangements, creating songs that feel raw and lived-in. Fronted by Karina&#8217;s powerhouse vocals, the band pairs big drums, textured guitar work, and chant-ready hooks to deliver a sound that stays with you long after the last note. &#160; Near Tragedy]]></description>

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM &#160; The Band Solstice The Band Solstice, formed in 2019 by childhood friends, has grown from a summer-solstice idea into a rising indie-rock force known for their energetic shows and evolving sound. Now students at The University of Tennessee, the group channels influences from Kings of Leon, Dawes, Mt. Joy, and Dr. Dog into a style all their own. Frontman Marty Gee delivers powerful, emotive vocals, anchored by the tight rhythm from drummer Grayson Strayder and bassist Maddox Frazier. Jacob Greene adds depth and lush keyboard textures, while Jackson Frazier&#8217;s expressive guitar work brings soaring riffs and melodic solos that define the band&#8217;s signature feel. With their debut album slated for early 2026, The Band Solstice prepares to bring new music to new cities as they step confidently into their next chapter. &#160; John Wood Band]]></description>

Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; Playlunch&#160; &#8220;The Hottest Aussie band since Amyl &#38; The Sniffers.&#8221;&#160; &#160; In 1964, a band of mod-suited mop-tops from Liverpool, England arrived on the shores of New York City and kicked off an explosion of Rock &#38; Roll that historians would come to refer to as &#8220;The British Invasion.&#8221;&#160; &#160; And now, in 2026&#8230;The Aussie Invasion is coming.&#160; &#160; This summer the world&#8217;s pre-eminent Bogan Funk band Playlunch are setting sail for North America and bringing their unique brand of raucous dance tracks to the masses.&#160;https://youtu.be/7PTvxw4fc9M?si=Gk4KnDStsGh0NO8Z &#160; So what exactly is Bogan Funk? It&#8217;s basically what happens when a bunch of Aussie blokes who grew up playing INXS covers at the local pub set out to try and become the new Kool &#38; The Gang. Think&#8230; James Brown meets Crocodile Dundee. Earth, Wind &#38; Fire meets Amyl &#38; The Sniffers. And it seems to be exactly what the world was waiting for&#8230;&#160;https://youtu.be/YBuVloFXQCw?si=mmldjhNm_SiDu9AJ &#160; With more than 30 million views across platforms, the Melbourne 7-piece have become one of the hottest acts emerging from the land down under. Placing #4 in Triple J&#8217;s Hottest 100 of 2025, their viral track &#8216;Keith&#8217; has taken the band international - capturing even the attention of Canadian rapper Bbno$https://youtu.be/ZpuzyEFnUG8?si=zMRo1oSpDEizE8Nn &#160; &#8220;Let&#8217;s face it, it&#8217;s a confusing time in America at the moment - and people could probably use a good night out&#8221; says frontman and bandleader Liam Bell. &#8220;We&#8217;re hoping to come over and give people something they&#8217;ve truly never seen before. Expect Pool Noodles, Speed Dealer sunnies, and a lot of colourful language that probably isn&#8217;t quite so endearing in the states as it is back home.&#8221; &#160; Set to be one of the most anticipated debuts of 2026, this tour is your chance to experience the once-in-lifetime spectacle that is Playlunch before the rest of the world finds out about them.]]></description>

The unorthodox contender for Amarillo City Council, subject of the film Kid Candidate, and creator of the acclaimed&#160;&#160;(2021) and&#160;&#160;(2023) now embarks upon the release of his new album I&#8217;ll Be Waving as You Drive Away and reveals his truest self. Solidly honing in on his technical craft after two years of non-stop touring with the likes of&#160;,&#160;&#160;and&#160;, Hayden Pedigo is ready to peel back the curtain and let the world in. His most emotionally candid record, more technically demanding and intricate than ever, &#8220;there&#8217;s something really human&#8221; about this release, Hayden professes. Produced by&#160;, there&#8217;s &#8220;no face paint, no blue skin, the character on the front is no longer a character &#8212; it&#8217;s actually just me. I&#8217;m trying to tell the audience, I actually want you to meet me, I want you to know who I am.&#8221; Though we finally meet the maker, tenderly look him in the eye, it is all too brief; I&#8217;ll Be Waving As You Drive Away plays itself out, and with a tip of the hat, a creak of the mechanical arm, a slam of the truck door and a puff of smoke, Hayden Pedigo is gone &#8212; just as quickly as he was revealed.]]></description>

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM &#160; JOEY PECORARO Instagram&#160;&#124;&#160;&#160;TikTok&#160;&#124;&#160;X&#160;&#124;&#160;YouTube Joey Pecoraro is an American musician, composer, and record producer from Detroit, Michigan, known for his distinctive blend of lo-fi hiphop, electronic, and ambient elements. He first rose to prominence in the late 2010s with his self-released debut studio album TiredBoy(2017), whose title track became a stand out in the lo-fi movement. The album also featured &#8220;FindingParking,&#8221; later used as the musical base for &#8220;AllNightParking&#8221; on Adele&#8217;s Grammy-winning album 30 (2021). Born and raised in Michigan, Pecoraro quickly gained a following for his nostalgic, sample- based productions that balance warmth, melancholy, and playfulness. His sound is characterized by vinyl textures, jazz-inflected piano lines, mellow drum patterns, and thoughtfully selected samples, often incorporating found sound, vintage recordings, and speech snippets to add narrative depth. With his latest self-titled album, Pecoraro continues to expand his sonic palette while remaining rooted in the ambient sensibilities that define his work. With hundreds of million streams and&#160; touring history across the US and Europe, Joey continues to create music that is both deeply personal and universally affecting. His music offers listeners a place to slow down, reconnect, and find comfort in every day moments. &#160; Reality Enjoyer]]></description>

NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM &#160; GLOM Glom is the indie-rock project of Brooklyn-based musician Sean Dunnevant. Blending the lush textures of shoegaze, and the tight rhythms of late-&#8217;80s post-punk, Dunnevant merges the crunch and clarity of &#8217;90s alternative rock with modern emo-adjacent textures, creating a sound that feels both current and timeless. His third album, Below, due January 9, 2026 via Nettwerk Music Group, marks Glom&#8217;s first release at his new label home and the project&#8217;s debut as a solo endeavor. In many ways, it represents the culmination of Dunnevant&#8217;s musical journey&#8212;a path that began when he skipped college to tour with a band straight out of high school, leading to two albums with longtime collaborator Sahil Ansari: 2019&#8217;s Bond and 2020&#8217;s Merit. &#160; SNOWMEN &#160; Brothers Saint]]></description>
