The Used in Concert
Bursting onto the scene with the tense crunch of post-hardcore guitars and singer Bert McCracken's piercing shriek in the early aughts, The Used were stalwarts of the "screamo" sub-genre, drawing comparisons to contemporaries in Thursday, Taking Back Sunday and My Chemical Romance. Always a formidable live act, The Used are as closely aligned with the hard rock acts of the 80s as they are with their post-hardcore brethren, with vocalist McCracken lending his plaintive howl to his bandmates' razor-sharp maelstrom and a full battery of strobe lights. Their latest full-length album Vulnerable featured more overly theatrical flourishes and led with the single "I Come Alive." They supported the album with the Vulnerable Tour 2012 and reissued the album as a two-disc set that included B-sides and rarities, called Vulnerable (II) in March 2013.
The Used are unlikely exports of Orem, Utah, a place not known for hard rock. That didn't stop guitarist Quinn Allman, bassist Jepth Howard, drummer Branden Steineckert and McCracken from playing the local clubs before touring to support their 2002 self-titled debut. Their reputation as a live act saw them punch their ticket for coveted spots on the Warped Tour and Ozzfest. 2004's In Love and Death, which peaked at No. 6 on Billboard's Top 200, announced their arrival to the big leagues, spawning singles, "Take it Away," "All That I've Got" and "I Caught Fire." In 2006, the band replaced longtime drummer Branden Steineckert with Dan Whiteside and released their fifth album Vulnerable through their own label, Dental Records. The band embarked on a series of concerts to support the album that summer. The Used released an EP of new material titled The Ocean of the Sky the following summer. Currently, the band is rumored to be going on tour in 2014, but no official announcements have been made.
The Used are touring on the Rockstar Energy Drink DISRUPT Festival in 2019. The touring festival features unique lineups in each city, including The Used, Thrice, Circa Survive, Sum 41, The Story So Far, Atreyu, Sleeping With Sirens, Andy Black, and more.

the used always puts on a great show and interactive with the crowd
Everything about the experience was awesome. The Used still puts on an amazing show!!
First time attending a show at the Revolution Concert House. Very nice open venue. Very nice staff behind the bars. The Used put on an amazing set, as did the other bands. I will be back to enjoy more shows in the future.
The opening acts were Dead American and Sleeping with Sirens. They each put on a great show. It was my first time seeing The Used in concert. I was not disappointed. They played old and new stuff and the energy could be felt, even though the crowd wasn't huge, and we were the last stop on their fall tour. I would see them again!
Great small venue with plenty of food and drink options. Will definitely be back.
I had a great time at this show. I had purchased a ticket that was on the lawn and that was in the back of the venue, luckily the day of I transferred it to someone. I ended up buying another ticket that was GA for in the front because that's what I thought I got. I was right up in front the entire time and had a blast. I love The Used and will forever go to their shows. All the bands were amazing and a lot of fun.
My wife and I had such a fun time. Thank you to the bands we loved every minute. can't wait to go again to Vina!
I’m a recluse so I wasn’t feeling it the day of and I almost didn’t go. I showed up half way into sleeping with sirens at 8:30, but I’m so glad I went and I wish I would’ve gone earlier. The show was amazing and I had so much fun. Sws and the used put on an incredible show.
I’ve been a fan of The Used for over 20 years and I finally got to see them live in the beautiful Fox Theater in Oakland I’m a newer fan of Sleeping With Sirens and I’m glad I got to see them too the show was amazing I was on the floor level about 7 people away from the stage I sung my heart out and had an amazing time got in the pit for a bit and was jumping up and down it was a blast
The Used is such a great band to see live. Bert is so interactive with his audience and does his best to keep us all engaged. Was super content and grateful I was able to see them so close and enjoyed their performances! Woo!
