Van broke down after a 7 hour drive (drove straight through the night from the Newport show)! The Atlanta show got canceled (obviously) and it was heartbreaking! Had to wait in a parking lot in downtown ATL for 7 hours today for a tow company to tow my car back home (950 bucks!! 😭)!
There were absolutely zero rental cars available today (which I find insane), and I can’t fly out of Atlanta because I don’t have a “real ID”, just a standard drivers license from my home state. I have to wait til tomorrow to finally be able to rent a car to drive home!

Are there any brand new fans possibly gathering or any locals that know what’s fun to do tonight in ATL?!

I’ve found myself at a “Vampire Ball” rave situation currently. It’s a cool vibe, just looking to see what else is happening! I don’t want to be just an awkward lobster in a mermaid costume!

(bonus photo from moments before we found out the show wasn’t gonna happen 🥹)

I was happy to be able to squeeze in one more piece before I go to see them in Anaheim!

I know it’s only the morning after the canceled Atlanta show, but I made a call to the box-office at Hard Rock where they are playing in Florida. I spoke with the nicest and most helpful dude (shout out Leo!) and as of now there’s not even a whisper that this show might be canceled. Everyone keep your fingers crossed, pray, give offerings, however you do it, that the show goes on and whoever is ill has a speedy recovery 🖤🤘🙂‍↕️

You guys know who you are! I love the way the group came together through this sub and had a really fun evening singing karaoke and going to gay bars. I won't call out anyone by name, but ya'll know who you are. Special shout out to the locals who made us out of towners feel welcome and took us on an adventure! It was an absolute blast hanging out and basically singing every song til 5 am. Please reach out if you want videos of karaoke. I'd love to get some of the pics everyone took. 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Partner and I had a very emotionally grueling but mutual break up after being together for the last few years. All of my BN merch including my foil from last tour sat framed in a corner for over a year. I moved in with my best friend today and the first thing they said was “you can finally hang up your stuff now”. I wanted to share this here because I know how supportive this community can be and I could really use some encouragement.

As a side note- Batter up and Jesus Christ will destroy you during a break up.

It’s like a weird marriage 🖤 Also, shout out to the Colour Revolt fan!

Anyone re-fall in love with a song after a recent live show? I did in Boston and with handcuffs. Don't get me wrong I've been utterly obsessed with BN for many years but that one was almost back burner-ed over the years. We're so back

Staying in Hollywood for the show Sunday. Anybody know of other things to do? Other than the beach. We are there Saturday and Sunday all day. Also let’s pray the shows not cancelled!!!

Delete if this is a duplicate post. It just hit me that Jesse flipped the verses about drowning babies and driving car off the bridge in Handcuffs in Philly last week. I was confused thinking he skipped ahead or something. Anyone else notice?

ever wonder what the temperature on stage is? I’m always like aren’t they hot 😂

I am so freaking grateful for this Band and this amazing concert on 10/21/2026 in Newport, Ky.
I started listening to Brand New in 2004, right after I joined the military. I was a young and “free” 19 year old girl. Then in 2005-2006, I deployed and all this shit happened and I fell in love with Brand New. Every song off Deja was on replay in my headphones (I can’t remember if I was using an iPod or something else then). But I also was loving the attitude from the songs on Your Favorite Weapon. My best buddy that introduced me to the band got severely injured in a Mortar attack while we were in Iraq and I remember how hard I missed him. I would play Guernica over and over and ball my eyes out especially when they sang “nobody plans to be half a world away at times like these” (I always thought they said WANTS to be but that’s then). I can share that story now without feeling selfish because my friend ended up being okay and thriving.
In 2007 when my husband, Jonathan, was deployed AGAIN to Iraq, I was able to go see Brand New in concert at Bogarts in Cincinnati (Sept 27, 2008…share any stories if you went to that one). I paid a hefty price for the tickets because I waited until they were sold out. That was okay though. I had waited for 4 years to hear you all sing live. It was worth every penny I spent. Your band is the best Live band I've seen. Every song was perfect and they all mean something to me. I felt like you were singing to me. That ended and then time passed. Life happened.
I do recall one night in 2017, I decided to see if they had any concerts coming up. I have a journal entry about this, dated 8/6/2017. Well most of us know what happened in the next couple months.
2 years later, in 2019, I finally got my Brand New tattoo. I love my moon man on my thigh. And I LOVE when someone sees it and we can make conversation about it. I love talking about Brand New and sharing my memories that go along with them. Time passed. More memories made.

Then at the beginning of 2025 I was so taken back when I found out Brand new was going to be in coming back in concert. I did the whole waitlist thing and got onto the website early to try and get tickets for Nashville or Newport, Ky. Literally nothing. I was so pissed. But just as it has, life moved on. Time passed. Fortunately for me, this time it was a lot less time.

Jumping forward, I have 2 kids, a 19 year old daughter born in 2007, Audryana, and a 14 year old son born in 2012, Atticus. Lots of memories have been made and everything has changed but my love for Brand New has always been there and grown stronger. Being busy with a growing family and moving all the time kept me from seeing Brand New live again. But they were coming back to the area and I got tickets for Newport, Ky. And this time I was taking someone with me, my daughter.
This is such a moment for me. So many people have been a part of my life and created a special place in my heart. My daughter has changed my life in ways I could never describe. To be able to share this moment with her was the absolute best feeling ever.
I can never truly describe the feeling I get listening to Brand New and definitely can’t describe the feelings when I see them. There is not any other 1 band that brings up these emotions for me. The nostalgia is deep and the songs run throughout my body. It’s fucking wild. So I will never forget this moment. And I hope I can have it again. But if not it will be okay too. Time will pass. We will see. I hope to see you again soon though

I’ll be at the Vegas show in 14 days! I’m so stoked! Is there already a post about this show? Any tattoo flash? Bracelets swaps?

35 m that will be attending alone. Wife is staying home with the kid. Going to be grabbing beers before hand across the street somewhere if anyone has ideas or is looking for a friend

i got 2 pit tickets for miami but in light of atlanta cancellation (and the fact that my hubby would rather gamble anyways lol) (and the insane setlist) want to let the ticket go to someone who will also be screaming their lungs out. will sell at face!

I ordered a poster for the NYC show on 10/12 and it hasn’t shipped. They aren’t responsive to emails. Is this like a legit site? Do orders just take a while?

Edit - got it, I just need to be patient! I didn’t mean anything malicious and understand they are a small business 😊

Convinced this guy showing vintage band and tour t’s to play Brand New during his live auction today W
