The Get Up Kids at Capitol

This event has passed!

1999 marked an important year in history - the world awaits the consequences of the Y2K bug, war erupts in Kosovo and the Blair Witch project becomes the most profitable film ever. September 28th, 1999 also marked an important day in music history with The Get Up Kids landmark release, Something to Write Home About... "Its original, powerful, aggressive, heartfelt... it is simply the greatest pop punk album ever written." Sputnik Music

5 years after famously calling it a day in March 2005, The Get Up Kids stunned the music world by announcing their reformation and their comeback shows have been met with unanimous rapture from fans and critics alike:

"The Get Up Kids pull out a set which is perfectly executed. Exactly what you'd expect but brilliant nonetheless. - Caught In The Crossfire

"The band took little time to brush the dust off themselves, presenting a very tight and chiseled sound. The energy and chemistry belonged to the Get Up Kids of old." - Pop Wreckoning

The show was a moment of musical history for a crowd that wasnt necessarily able to see the band live previously; many fans were just learning to drive when the band broke up. - Consequence of Sound
