About The Format

Indie Rock

Indie-rock duo The Format emerged in the early-2000s with a knack for melodic hooks, earnest lyrics, and a blend of piano-driven pop and guitar-rich arrangements that set them apart from their emo-adjacent peers. Their live shows have earned a reputation for tight musicianship, heartfelt vocal delivery, and a willingness to reinterpret their catalog in intimate acoustic settings, often drawing enthusiastic crowds despite long periods of inactivity. The Format is currently on a U.S. headline tour that opened Nov 7, 2026 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and will conclude Dec 11, 2026 at the Nile Theater in Mesa, Arizona, covering three cities across the country.
