If you ever forget that you’re legally an adult, Pool Kids may be your bag. Described in a press release as a “lightning strike of powerhouse pop, expansive emo, and irresistible math rock,” a common theme in the Tallahassee-based quartet’s music is that adulthood—and life in general—is not as easy as we think it’s going to be when we’re young.

The band’s first album was shouted-out by Hayley Williams of Paramore in 2017, which led to opportunities like opening for Origami Angel and—later this year—Soccer Mommy.

And if you bought this ticket when it went on sale, remember that the show moved venues and is now at New World.

Tickets to see Pool Kids, Sydney Sprague, and Chase Petra play the Music Hall at New World Brewery in Tampa on Saturday, July 22 are available and start $16.
