About The Maine
The Maine formed in Phoenix in 2007 and spent their first decade building a devoted fanbase through relentless touring and a string of increasingly confident pop-punk albums. They've never been the flashiest band in the room, but there's something about their earnestness that sticks. Albums like "American Candy" and "Lovely Little Lonely" showed a band comfortable with vulnerability without getting maudlin about it. They've also become known for their unusual relationship with fans—doing things like involving their audience in album artwork decisions and breaking songs down to let fans hear individual elements. It's the kind of thing that could feel gimmicky, but with The Maine it mostly just feels honest. They've been quietly consistent for over a decade, which in the pop-punk world means they're doing something right.
The Maine's shows feel like congregations of people who actually showed up for the same reason. Crowds sing every word, but without the posturing. The band feeds off that genuine investment rather than manufacturing hype. They're tight, steady, and more interested in connection than spectacle.
Known for Black Butterflies and Déjà Vu, Everything, Sad It Goes, Whoever Left the Coffee On, Same Old Song
The Maine + Austin
The Maine rolled through Moody Center on March 8th with the kind of setlist that rewards longtime listeners. They leaned into deeper cuts like 'Slip the Noose' and 'Thoughts I Have While Lying in Bed' alongside the more immediate hooks of 'Blame' and 'Sticky.' There's something about watching a band that's been doing this for over a decade get comfortable enough to trust their catalog beyond the obvious singles. Austin's seen them grow into that kind of band.

Austin road trip to see The Maine?
Stay in East Austin, where you'll find better restaurants and a neighborhood that actually feels alive. Dinner at Suerte—confident, creative food in a space that doesn't try too hard. During the day, wander the galleries and vintage shops along East 6th, or head to Zilker Park to sit with a coffee and watch Austin be itself.
