Remember this time last year when we were all sour grapes about having to drive to Orlando to see Descendents?

Not in 2018, friends. The Golden State punk patriarchs have booked a St. Pete date at Jannus Live on April 12. It’s the band’s first show in Central Florida since it played the House of Blues in October.

NOT EVERYTHING SUX

The St. Pete date is the first of the band’s upcoming, 23-date tour which includes stops in Ft. Lauderdale (April 13), Gainesville (April 14) and Jacksonville (April 15).

Openers have not been announced yet, but tickets go on sale this Friday, February 16 at 10 a.m. EST and will cost fans $33.50.
