Sunny Day Real Estate are Boston-bound in February to play the 2026 edition of Run for Cover’s Something in the Way mini-festival, and they’ve added a couple of new East Coast shows to warm up for it. They’ll play Philadelphia’s Brooklyn Bowl on January 29, and NYC’s Irving Plaza on January 30. Both shows are with the great Pool Kids (who are also playing Something in the Way), and you can get tickets for NYC early on BrooklynVegan Presale starting Thursday, November 6 at 10 AM ET. Use the presale password BVSUNNYDAY. Our presale runs until 10 PM ET, and any remaining tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, November 7 at 10 AM ET.
Pool Kids, who released their very good third album Easier Said Than Done in August, also have US shows lined up this fall, and shows in Europe and the UK in 2026. See all their upcoming dates below.
