The Get Up Kids

In 2009, The Get Up Kids were in an intriguing phase of their career, marked by their album "There Are Rules," which had released two years prior in 2008. This live recording at the Area 4 Festival in Lüdinghausen, Germany, captures the band showcasing their unmistakable mix of emo and pop-punk energy. Notably, this concert also highlighted their dynamic setlist, including fan favorites like "Holiday" and "Coming Clean," while also featuring a spirited cover of The Replacements' "Beer For Breakfast." This festival performance was part of their revival, especially after their breakup in 2002 and subsequent reunion, reinforcing their connection to both old and new fans. The atmosphere, combined with the crowd's enthusiasm, really illustrates how The Get Up Kids consistently bridged the past with their present.
