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 + Salt Lake City
New Found Glory rolled through Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre on September 6th, hitting a tight eight-song set that felt like a greatest-hits sprint through their catalog. They opened with the understated confidence of 'Understatement' before pivoting to 'All Downhill From Here' — a choice that set the tone for a show leaning into their softer, more introspective moments. 'Hit or Miss' and '100%' kept things moving, but the real moment came when they dug into 'Failure's Not Flattering,' a cut that rewards longtime listeners. 'My Friends Over You' closed things out, which felt right for a band that's built their whole thing on the idea of personal connection.

Live Music in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City's music scene has a complicated relationship with pop-punk. The city's indie and alternative crowds are robust, but pop-punk's earnest melodicism sometimes gets overlooked in favor of heavier or more experimental sounds. New Found Glory's straightforward approach to catchy hooks and genuine emotion might remind people why this era of pop-punk still matters.

Stay in the Avenues neighborhood—tree-lined streets with actual character, close enough to downtown but removed from the noise. For dinner, Lazy Dog in Sugar House serves exceptional Colorado lamb and maintains a wine list that doesn't insult your intelligence. Spend an afternoon at the Natural History Museum of Utah in Red Butte Canyon; the building itself is architecturally stunning and the collection gives real context to the landscape you're actually standing in. The city's proximity to actual mountains matters when you've got downtime.
