For the past 25 years, Queens-based Bayside has represented a lifestyle, a counterculture, and a deeply-held commitment to integrity and earnestness. At their core, Bayside is a band that has constantly proven that music is not about gimmicks and ephemeral trends, but a timeless reflection of our life and our times. It is through this authentic expression and creative spirit that the band has amassed a cult-following that lives and breathes everything the band creates.
It's a spirit that permeates an impressive and storied discography, including Sirens and Condolences (2004), Bayside (2005), The Walking Wounded (2007) and Shudder (2008). Covering the "Victory Records Years," Bayside grew their reputation as road warriors with their impressive amount of touring. From basements to clubs to Warped Tour, the band led melodious sing-alongs everywhere they went, with fans flocking to Anthony Raneri's personal, yet universal lyrics and story-telling. Fan favorites like "Devotion and Desire" and "Duality" continue to be staples in the bands' live show.
While the band held strong to their punk roots, what set them apart from their peers was their musicianship. Diverse in thought and background, but united in a shared desire for authentic expression and immense musical talent, Bayside continues to push the boundaries of what a Bayside song could be. In the second half of their legendary career, covering the "Wind-Up and Hopeless Records Years," Bayside embraced the heavier and grittier side of themselves, while keeping the anthemic choruses of the earlier years. With Killing Time (2011), Cult (2014), Vacancy (2016), Interrobang (2019), and There Are Worse Things Than Being Alive (2024), the band focused on creating songs that are relevant to people who want substance, rather than being relegated to one genre. In 2023, the band even collaborated with Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills on their rock anthem, "How To Ruin Everything (Patience)" - their first song charting at Sirius XM Octane.
Having toured the world multiple times over, sold thousands of albums, and amassed millions of streams, Bayside has achieved a lot in their storied career. And while many bands would coast on their past success, Bayside has always rejected that premise and continues to prove time and again that the best is yet to come.

Armor, Finch and bayside were fantastic and sounded killer.
Bayside killed it! Playing a legacy set of songs from different albums from their career, the audience was singing a long to every one. The new songs sound incredible and the energy from the band and audience was amazing. Can’t wait to see them again. Also- openers Finch were great!!!!
It was easy to get in and then the show was amazing!
This concert was everything I hope it would be. I’ve loved bayside for years and never imagined I’d get to see them but what an amazing show, and they sound like exactly the same as their songs. 1000000/10
Bayside is my absolute favorite band. This was one of their best performances! The venue made it that much better. I can’t wait to see them again.
The concert was awesome and the service at the bars was very nice. The drinks were a bit overpriced though. 7$ for water and 4$ for a soda doesn't make much sense to me. but as I said the service was nice so I tipped them well. I also appreciated that there was food to buy. Definitely would go again.
i love this band, i love the crew they always bring, i love the cult. this was the best concert experience as of yet. i can't wait to see them again.
Bayside went hard the other night in concert...it had been a couple years since i had seen them...i was surprised they went harder this tour than any of the other times i've seen them in past...i mean they are amazing every time i've seen them live, but this time was by far my fave!!!
This was my daughter’s first time at a Bayside show. I grew up listening to the opening bands, as well as bayside and so has she. But never in a million years did I think all 4 bands would blow us away like that. Winona Fighter,Armor for Sleep and Finch were the perfect choice to get everyone in the venue hype and ready for Bayside. Armor for sleep and finch members also made my daughters whole night by giving her a pick, and taking pictures with her. Thank you again for such a wonderful night
I’ve seen this band 5 times now and I will continue to see them live every time they’re in town. So much fun!
Finch was perfect and Bayside was Perfect twice. Bayside has a crazy good crowd artist chemistry. I have to say that their singer was super impressive to see
Been waiting for this show since I was 13!!!! It was everything I thought it would be!
All the bands rocked! Finch was the right choice to bring on tour!
I’ve been wanting to see Bayside for years now and every time I’ve come close something has come up. So this was finally a dream come true! Bayside did not disappoint at all, such an amazing show! Definitely can’t wait to see them again in the future.
Bayside was beyond what my husband and I could have imagined. From the opening bands, to bayside’s extensive playlist for the evening it was all hands down amazing. I would recommend to anyone who used to be a Bayside lover back in the day or anyone who is just discovering them. Would see again.
The venue exceeded all expectations. The layout, viewing areas, security, venue staff, etc were all top notch. Will definitely come back for shows in the future
I have been a Bayside fan since the beginning. I never got to see them live until now, and it was worth the wait. They played an awesome show! Better even, this was my sons first live concert, so it was a first for both of us! He had a great time singing along and enjoying the show.
I need at least fifty characters on here to say my experience was 100/10
The openers definitely got you pumped for Bayside the put a hell of a concert on. They sounded great and it was awesome that they chose Pittsburgh as the start for the tour.
I’ve seen Bayside 5 times now. I loved them at this venue. Great show all three bands.
