Glassjaw, Quicksand & Spotlights @ Concord Music Hall (pics)

Two back-in-action New York post-hardcore bands, Glassjaw and Quicksand (who released their first albums in 15 years and 22 years, respectively, in 2017), are currently on tour together. There are great openers lined up, with fellow New York bands Spotlights on the current leg and Primitive Weapons on the second leg, plus Philly’s Lovelorn (aka 3/4 of Creepoid) joining for the Philly show. We caught the run with Spotlights at Chicago’s Concord Music Hall on July 8, which was the second night of the tour. Check out pictures of that show, and setlists (which, for both bands, were a good mix of the old and the new) and videos below.

The tour hits the bands’ shared hometown on August 3 at Brooklyn Steel (tickets), one day after their nearby show at the Wellmont Theatre (8/2) in Montclair, NJ (tickets). Those shows are both with Primitive Weapons. As mentioned, we’re also giving away tickets to the Brooklyn Steel show (AND t-shirts), and you can enter to win HERE.
