About Boys Like Girls

Boys Like Girls formed in Boston in 2005 and became one of the defining pop-rock bands of the late 2000s. Built around Martin Johnson's vocals and the band's knack for crafting hook-laden songs, they carved out space between emo sincerity and pop radio accessibility. Their 2006 debut album spawned "The Great Escape," a track that defined a moment when relatably awkward romance could soundtrack your entire high school experience. "Two Is Better Than One" featuring Taylor Swift proved they could do earnest duets without irony. Even as taste shifted, they remained good at what they did: writing songs about wanting someone, losing someone, or pretending not to care. They've never stopped touring or releasing music, proving there's a persistent audience for this particular brand of careful vulnerability wrapped in power chords.

Their crowds are engaged without being frantic. People sing every word to the familiar stuff. There's genuine affection in the room rather than nostalgia-drunk irony. They're reliable musicians who play tight, don't oversell the drama, and seem aware they're working in a legacy.

Known for The Great Escape, Thunder, Two Is Better Than One, Love Drunk, Be Your Everything

Boys Like Girls + Denver

Boys Like Girls brought their pop-rock charm to Ball Arena in October 2025, delivering the kind of straightforward, hook-laden performance that's defined their career since the late 2000s. The setlist leaned on their familiar catalog—"The Great Escape" and "Two Is Better Than One" got the crowd moving—while the band moved through their material with the ease of a group that's played these songs hundreds of times. There's a comfort in their formula, the kind of middle-of-the-road rock that doesn't challenge much but doesn't need to. Denver's seen plenty of acts come through, but Boys Like Girls fit the bill of a band that works the same way whether it's a sold-out arena or a half-filled club.

Denver road trip to see Boys Like Girls?

Stay in Highland, where tree-lined streets and independent bookstores make it feel like you're actually in Denver rather than passing through. Eat at Frasca Food and Wine if you want to understand why Colorado takes its ingredients seriously—it's fine dining without pretense. Before the show, spend an afternoon at the Denver Art Museum's contemporary wing, which often has installations that match the visual language of experimental music. Walk around Santa Fe Drive's gallery district. It's the kind of neighborhood where the art and music scenes actually talk to each other.
