American Football - Band

American Football, the influential midwest emo band from Urbana, Illinois, brings their signature blend of slow, quiet, and intricate math rock to Atlanta. Known for their self-titled debut album—a landmark in the emo and math rock scenes—the band reformed in 2014 after a decade-long hiatus and has since released three more eponymous albums. Fans can expect a setlist that spans their entire catalog, from the delicate guitar work and hushed vocals of early tracks to the more layered compositions of their later work.

The band's live performances are known for their intimate, introspective atmosphere, with Mike Kinsella's understated vocals and Steve Holmes' intricate guitar lines taking center stage. The current lineup includes Nate Kinsella on bass, adding depth to the band's sound. For longtime followers, this is a chance to hear classics like "Never Meant" alongside newer material, all delivered with the quiet intensity that defines American Football's music.

Atlanta concertgoers will experience a rare opportunity to see a band that helped define a genre, whose influence extends far beyond their initial short run. The band's self-titled debut album became one of the most acclaimed emo and math rock records of its era, and their reformed lineup continues to perform material from all four of their albums.
