About New Found Glory
New Found Glory formed in Coral Springs, Florida in the late 90s and basically defined what pop punk sounded like for a generation. Their self-titled debut in 2000 and follow-up "From the Screen to Your Stereo" established them as the band that could write hooks sharp enough to stick in your head for years. "My Friends Over You" became their signature moment—a song about choosing your friends over a relationship that somehow resonated way beyond its simple premise. They've kept at it for over two decades, never chasing trends but not quite willing to disappear either. The band's been through lineup changes and label shifts, but they've maintained the core appeal: earnest, melodic rock that doesn't require you to be fifteen to appreciate, even if it definitely hits different when you are.
Shows are loud singalongs where everyone knows the words. Crowd's genuinely there for it, not just going through the motions. They play the hits without irony and the energy never really dips. People lose their minds in the best way possible.
Known for My Friends Over You, Head on Collision, Dressed to Kill, All the Same, This Disaster
New Found Glory + Providence
New Found Glory rolled through The Strand Ballroom & Theatre back in November 2017, running through a solid 25-song set that leaned into their catalog's depth. They hit the obvious marks—"Heartless at Best," "Hit or Miss"—but the real meat was in the deep cuts. "Truck Stop Blues" and "Party on Apocalypse" showed they weren't just phoning it in, and closing with "Hit or Miss" gave the whole thing a neat bookend. Providence has always been a decent stop on their circuit, the kind of place where they can breathe a little and actually play the songs people stuck with them for.

Live Music in Providence
Providence has a solid lineage in alternative rock and indie music, with venues like The Met and Columbus Theatre hosting touring acts regularly. The city's audiences tend to appreciate guitar-driven bands with hooks, which aligns pretty well with what New Found Glory does. It's not a traditional pop-punk stronghold like some Northeast cities, but there's enough appreciation for melodic rock here to make this work.
Providence road trip to see New Found Glory?
Stay in College Hill, where you can actually walk around without feeling like you're in a dead zone—the neighborhood has real restaurants and bars. Eat at Chez Pascal or Oberlin for something serious. Before the show, spend an afternoon at the RISD Museum, which is legitimately excellent and free if you're a student or cheap enough if you're not. The museum's collection is small enough to actually process in a couple hours, which beats most cities. Walk down Benefit Street afterward. It's the kind of place that reminds you why people actually used to settle in New England intentionally.
