New Found Glory in San Antonio

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 + San Antonio

New Found Glory rolled through The Aztec Theatre in early 2023 with the kind of setlist that rewards longtime fans. They leaned into deeper cuts like 'Broken Sound' and 'The Story So Far' alongside the obvious crowd pleasers, closing things out with 'Dream Born Again.' The band's been a reliable fixture in San Antonio's pop-punk ecosystem for years, and this show felt like a victory lap through their catalog—22 songs that hit the sweet spot between nostalgia and current relevance.

Live Music in San Antonio

San Antonio's music scene is steeped in Tejano, conjunto, and regional Mexican traditions, but the city's got a solid undercurrent of rock and alternative bands working venues on the South Side and downtown. Pop-punk's never been the dominant sound here, which makes New Found Glory's arrival interesting—they're the kind of band that could either find a really engaged cult following or remind people why they loved this stuff in the early 2000s.

San Antonio road trip to see New Found Glory?

Stay in Southtown, where the gallery scene and restored Victorian homes give you something real to walk through between dinner reservations at Cured, which does thoughtful Italian-influenced cooking without pretension. Catch the show, then spend the next morning at Pearl Brewery itself—the district's worth an hour of wandering. The Majestic Theatre or the Tobin Center are your likely venues depending on the tour routing. Head to the McNay Art Museum if you've got afternoon time; it's one of the better regional collections in Texas and won't feel like you're wasting daylight.
