Info
On 15 August 2026, Cardiff Castle hosts Jimmy Eat World for the 25th anniversary of Bleed American. Formed in Mesa, Arizona, the quartet of Jim Adkins, Tom Linton, Rick Burch and Zach Lind shifted from their early emo-leaning roots toward crisp, melodic rock on this 2001 album, built on clear vocals and interlocking guitars. Since then, the band has kept that balance of drive and introspection across Clarity, Futures, Chase This Light, Integrity Blues and Surviving. Expect a set that honors the record that changed their path while drawing on a catalogue shaped for big choruses and slow-burn dynamics.
Rise Against, from Chicago, bring their melodic hardcore DNA: brisk, tight rhythms held down by Joe Principe and Brandon Barnes, guitars from Zach Blair, and Tim McIlrath’s straight-ahead delivery. From The Unraveling to Nowhere Generation, they’ve fused speed with tuneful refrains and lyrics that tap into social tension and personal resolve.
Opening, Jay Som tints indie rock with bedroom-pop hues. Melina Duterte writes, plays and produces much of her music, from the home-recorded Turn Into to Everybody Works and Anak Ko, threading airy guitars, soft-focus vocals and concise hooks.
