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 Jose
New Found Glory rolled through Shoreline Amphitheatre on August 30th with the kind of setlist that rewards people who've stuck with them past the singles. They dug into "Failure's Not Flattering" and "Dressed to Kill," songs that sit deeper in their catalog but hit different live. "My Friends Over You" closed things out, which feels right for a band that built their whole thing on that earnest pop-punk sincerity. The eight-song set moved with purpose, no filler.

Live Music in San Jose
San Jose's rock scene has always been overshadowed by SF and Oakland, but pop-punk has found footholds here over the years. The city's had its share of mid-sized venues hosting melodic punk and emo acts, though the scene tends to be quieter than its Bay Area neighbors. New Found Glory fits the lineage of bands San Jose audiences know — straightforward, earnest pop-punk without pretense.
San Jose road trip to see New Found Glory?
Stay in Willow Glen, where tree-lined streets and local galleries give you something to do before the show. Hit Adega for Portuguese cuisine that actually justifies the price, then walk off dinner around the neighborhood's vintage shops. If you've got afternoon time, the San José Museum of Art is legitimately worth an hour—it's small enough to not feel like a chore, and their contemporary collection is better curated than you'd expect. Grab coffee at Chromatic before heading to the venue. The area's low-key enough that you won't feel like you're in a tourist trap, but established enough that everything works.
