Doors open at a dangerously-late-for-old-timers 7 p.m. ahead of this gig that could anchor a localized version of the When We Were Young Festival.

Quit is an absolute legend in Florida punk folklore, famous for spending the late-’80s and early-’90s defining what Sunshine State skate-punk could sound like. The group, which bucked its moniker by reuniting in 2015 and 2002, is back alongside buddies (including Drag The River’s Jon Snodgrass plus Descendents’ Bill Stevenson and his son, Miles) plus OGs of the Tampa emo scene (Pohgoh), and the Miller Lowlifes.

Tickets to see Quit play Crowbar in Ybor City on Friday, April 3 are still available for $17.67.
