The Starting Line The Eternal Youth Tour / Armor for Sleep, Oso Oso

Pop-punk pioneers with Jersey roots and East Coast heart, The Starting Line have been delivering anthems of youth, love, and self-discovery for over two decades.

Formed in 2000 in the suburbs of Philadelphia, with deep ties to South Jersey’s alt-rock scene, The Starting Line quickly rose through the pop-punk ranks with their emotionally charged lyrics, infectious hooks, and high-energy performances. Fronted by Kenny Vasoli, the band made waves with their breakout album "Say It Like You Mean It" in 2002, featuring fan favorites like "Best of Me" and "Leaving" — tracks that became instant classics in the emo and punk communities.

Following their early success, the band continued to evolve with albums like "Based on a True Story" and "Direction," showcasing more mature songwriting and diverse soundscapes. Though they took a brief hiatus, The Starting Line reunited to sold-out shows and released new music, proving their staying power in a genre that never forgets its icons.

Known for heartfelt lyrics and anthemic choruses, The Starting Line has cemented their legacy not just in pop-punk history, but in the hearts of countless fans across New Jersey and beyond.

Catch them live and experience the nostalgia — and energy — of a band that defined a generation and still keeps the crowd moving.
