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 have maintained a presence in Sacramento over the years, most recently bringing their pop-rock energy to Golden 1 Center in September 2025. That night they worked through a 13-song set that included 'SUNDAY AT FOXWOODS,' hitting the kind of reliable mix of hits and deeper cuts their Sacramento fans tend to expect.

Live Music in Sacramento

Sacramento's got a solid foundation in indie rock and pop-punk adjacent stuff, though it's never been ground zero for that scene the way coastal cities were. There's an audience here though—people who grew up on the pop-punk wave and stuck around. Boys Like Girls slots into that lane pretty cleanly, so this feels like a natural enough fit for the Capitol's mid-sized venue circuit.

Sacramento road trip to see Boys Like Girls?

Stay in Midtown Sacramento, where the neighborhood actually feels alive—walk to restaurants, bars, and galleries without planning logistics. Dinner at The Kitchen restaurant offers precise, ingredient-focused cooking that pairs well with the area's wine bar culture. Spend an afternoon at the Crocker Art Museum, one of the country's oldest art institutions, or wander the American River Bike Trail if you need to clear your head before the show. The neighborhood's tree-lined streets and vintage architecture beat anywhere else in town.
