Sad Summer Festival: Mayday Parade, The Maine, The Wonder Years & We The Kings at Jacobs Pavilion

In 2019, the alternative rock icon The Maine jumpstarted a project that would later turn into the new Warped Tour. The Maine conceptualized the event and, developed the branding, and named it Sad Summer Festival. The idea was to bring bands, who would have probably been booked for Warped Tour, into its helm. But unlike Warped Tour, the Sad Summer aims to bring in all the bands you want to see. “Warped and other festivals, your two favorite bands end up playing at the same time, and you have to miss one. The idea was one stage. Let’s partner up these bands that would be doing their own headlining tours and make something bigger than the sum of its parts,” The Maine drummer Pat Kirch explained.

Indeed, the Sad Summer brings in all the heavy hitters in emo, pop-punk, rock, and alternative. This 2024, the billing has Mayday Parade, The Maine, The Wonder Years, and We The Kings as the main performers. The show is also slated to feature up-and-comers and fast-rising stars, such as Real Friends, Knuckle Puck, The Summer Set, Hot Milk, Diva Bleach, Daisy Grenade, and Lily Roses! Your day would be pretty much a plethora of incredible music performed by a variety of bands and artists. Sad Summer attendees will indeed have a great day and night out, catching all these amazing bands deliver their unprecedented hits.
