Lineup
NEW FOUND GLORY IN CONCERT:
The morning of a New Found Glory concert, feel free to skip your coffee or Red Bull -- you'll get all the energy you need once the Florida-bred punk rockers take the stage. Since bursting onto the scene almost two decades ago, they've been giving punk contemporaries like Green Day and Blink-182 -- both of whom they've supported on tour -- a run for their money as one of the genre's most influential acts. They continue to live up to that reputation with show-stopping live performances packed with hits from the early '00s and recent jams off their 2014 album Resurrection. Frontman Jordan Pundik riles up the crowd with catchy choruses, inviting ticket buyers to revel in his spectacle as the band plows ahead at full steam. Some things never change -- mosh pits and crowd surfing are still staples at New Found Glory's live shows, creating an adrenaline-filled atmosphere that perfectly suits the band's epic catalog of shout-along anthems.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
New Found Glory was formed in 1997 in Coral Springs, FL by singer Jordan Pundik, guitarists Steve Klein and Chad Gilbert, bassist Ian Grushka, and drummer Cyrus Bolooki. Their debut EP, 1997's It's All About The Girls, introduced them to an enthusiastic underground fanbase and landed them a deal with Drive-Thru Records. In 1999 they released their debut full-length album Nothing Gold Can Stay, which spawned the hit single "Hit Or Miss" and peaked at No. 15 on the US Modern Rock Chart. They followed up in 2000 with a self-titled sophomore album that reached No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart and spent 21 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. Their third and fourth albums -- 2002's Sticks And Stones and 2004's Catalyst -- peaked at No. 3 and No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart and were certified gold by the RIAA. The band has been playing as a quartet since guitarist Steve Klein left the band in 2013, but they still rock as hard as ever on their must-see tours.
NFG never fails to put on a fantastic show!! Sold out crowd and all different ages were rocking out.
The venue was great, they even let the kids stand right behind the ADA area so the kids had a great view. The band was amazing, really a great show! It was the 20th anniversary of Catalyst and they played for at least 90 min. They engaged the crowd and it was just a high energy show. They played the whole album plus a lot of the fan favorites. It was a fun time for all!
Lots of energy, the crowd singing every song. It was fun.
New Found Glory was amazing, as the 33 times I've seen them before. This show was lacking their guitarist, and it was felt, yet Dan stepped up strong! The show was not sold out, and, just saying... if it was in Portland, it would have been. I'll still travel again to see this band!
I had an amazing time! New Found Glory puts on an amazing show, there were even kids there getting to experience a concert for the first time. Such a friendly environment, this band brings awesome people together.
NFG is great!.. There is never a slow moment, always some great surpirses for everyone. If you like to sit down with your hands folded on your lap, this is probably not the show for you.
I have been a huge NFG fan since 2000 but this was my first time getting to see them live! While Catalyst isn’t my favorite album, they put on great show and I was singing along to every word. I was also ecstatic when they played all their additional hits after playing Catalyst in its entirety. The energy was palpable in the packed venue and if they came back tomorrow, I’d be there!
Third time watching them in House of Blues Anaheim
Great concert took us back to the good old days of my youth!
Thx for this opportunity I really enjoy this concert
