The Get Up Kids

Midwestern emo‑tinged rock collective The Get Up Kids emerged in the late‑1990s, blending earnest pop‑punk melodies with indie‑rock sensibilities. Their sound is characterized by jangly guitars, sing‑along choruses, and emotionally charged lyrics that helped define the second wave of emo. Renowned for high‑energy shows, the band has cultivated a devoted fanbase that appreciates their heartfelt performances and tight musicianship. After periods of hiatus, they have repeatedly returned to the stage, reinforcing their reputation as a compelling live act. The group will kick off a new touring cycle with a headline performance at The Pageant in Saint Louis on September 24, 2026. They will also appear as guests with The Format in Minneapolis (September 19), Omaha (September 22), Washington (October 2), Columbus (October 6), Pittsburgh (October 7), and New York (October 9), and join Frank Turner’s Lost Evenings IX in Dallas on September 26 and 27, 2026.
