JIMMY EAT WORLD - 25 YEARS OF BLEED AMERICAN
About This Event
Jimmy Eat World mark 25 years of Bleed American with a waterfront performance at The Rooftop at Pier 17, presenting a decade-spanning catalog that moves between pop-leaning hooks and guitar-forward arrangements suited to the venue’s direct, open-air scale. The bill pairs them with Girls Against Boys, noted for guitar-driven arrangements and a taut rhythm section that emphasizes groove and tension, and THRICE, who shift between melodic songcraft and heavier, rhythm-driven passages with precise dynamic control.
About Bleed American
Not to be confused with Jimmy Eat World’s 2001 album, *Bleed American* here names a New York–area concert program built around the band’s early-2000s pivot from emo-adjacent urgency to pop-structured rock. The set lands in the city in a moment when post-9/11 naming and rebranding still shadows how that era is archived, making the title itself part of the story. At The Rooftop at Pier 17 and Brooklyn Paramount, Jimmy Eat World appear alongside THRICE, Girls Against Boys, The Get Up Kids, and Hey Mercedes. The bill reads like a cross-section of scenes that once overlapped more than they competed.
