The Story So Far with The Starting Line & Ultra Q — SOMA, San Diego

You found this. Be the first one here.

If you grew up in California between 2012 and 2016, there's a good chance The Story So Far was the soundtrack to the drive that changed something. Pop-punk with the self-awareness to know it's pop-punk and the conviction to play it like it matters anyway — the Walnut Creek band that turned suburban restlessness into something a generation moshed to in venues exactly like this one.

SOMA's Mainstage is the right room for this. Big enough to hold the energy, small enough that the pit reaches the stage. The Starting Line opens with the kind of elder-emo gravitas that makes the crowd remember there was pop-punk before there was The Story So Far, and Ultra Q fills the gap between nostalgia and whatever comes next. Then TSSF walks on and the room forgets it has a ceiling.

This is an all-ages, general admission, standing show. If you know, you know. If you don't, ask the person next to you — they've been waiting for this since the tour was announced.
