ARTIST SPOTLIGHT:

Pool Kids first started playing on Tallahassee’s house show circuit. The band earned a fan in Paramore’s Hayley Williams with their debut album, 2018’s Music to Practice Safe S*x To. After they filled out to a four-piece — Andy Anaya on guitar, Nicolette Alvarez on bass, Caden Clinton
on drums, and Christine Goodwyne on guitar and vocals — their 2022 self-titled record netted critical acclaim with its lush, high-contrast mixture of pop, emo, and math rock. They’ve shared stages with The Mountain Goats, PUP, Beach Bunny, and La Dispute. They hold fast to their DIY principles: anyone can do what Pool Kids do. Anyone can start a band.

Pool Kids’ third album, Easier Said Than Done, shimmers with emotional clarity and courage. Adrenalizing and irresistible, it brings the dynamism of the band’s live show into the studio, showcasing a style that’s unmistakably their own.

We are so excited to have them at this year’s festival next Saturday. You should be too.

Pre-sale tickets are on sale now! Get em early and we will see you in ONE WEEK at GTAH 2026 on 9/12/26!

Wild Red is a pop punk band from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Their short, catchy tunes are reminiscent of the straight forward pop punk of the 90s. The group is comprised of brothers Jonah (vocals) and Rylan Kramer (guitar), Tyler Kennedy (bass), and Dan White (drums).

Catch them as they make their GTAH debut this September at the historic Scranton Iron Furnaces.
