The Starting Line

Philadelphia-born pop-punk outfit The Starting Line emerged in the early-2000s, blending catchy hooks with energetic guitar-driven anthems that helped define the era’s emo-inflected rock scene. Their catalog balances upbeat sing-alongs and earnest lyricism, cementing them as a staple of the modern alternative rock landscape. Renowned for high-energy shows, the band’s live performances combine tight musicianship with audience-participation choruses, often sparking mosh-friendly moments and sing-along sections. After a decade-long hiatus, they reunited for occasional festival spots, earning a reputation for delivering nostalgic yet fresh setlists that resonate with longtime fans. The Starting Line will embark on a 15-date North American tour beginning Oct 1, 2026 at Discovery Park in Sacramento, followed by stops in Baltimore, Virginia Beach, Charlotte, and New York, among others, with the run concluding Nov 7, 2026 at Riverside Municipal Auditorium.
