Hermosa Beach punk-rock favorite Pennywise is bringing the spirit of Warped Tour to St. Petersburg. Today, the 31-year-old outfit announced a November 13 date at Ferg’s Sports Bar & Grill.

Authority Zero and The Bronx play support on the bill. Details on the St. Petersburg date aren’t out yet, but $25-$30 tickets for a Fort Lauderdale show at Vinyl Music Hall go on sale Friday, July 26 at 10 a.m. CDT.

The St. Pete stop is one of five Florida dates on the tour supporting Pennywise’s 2018 album Never Gonna Die (Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Pensacola and the Salty Dog Cruise sailing out of Fort Lauderdale are also on the agenda), and the announcement comes less than 24 hours after the venue hosted ‘80s pop hero Howard Jones. By our count, it’s Pennywise’s first show in the area since a 2016 gig at The Ritz in Ybor City.
