Motion City Soundtrack | Knitting Factory

Pop-punk mainstays Motion City Soundtrack bring their hook-filled, high-energy sound to Boise’s Knitting Factory for a nostalgic, sing-along-packed night. Formed in Minneapolis in the late ’90s, the band became cornerstones of the 2000s emo and pop-punk scene with their signature blend of buzzing guitars, Moog synths, and Justin Pierre’s wry, heart-on-sleeve lyrics. From beloved anthems like “Everything Is Alright” and “The Future Freaks Me Out” to fresh material off their latest record The Same Old Wasted Wonderful World — their first new album in a decade — their live shows are pure cathartic fun, the kind that has fans of all ages shouting along to every word.

The Knitting Factory is the perfect room for it. As one of downtown Boise’s premier concert houses, the intimate, general-admission space puts you right up close to the stage, with crisp sound and the buzzing energy of a packed floor. Located in the heart of downtown, it’s surrounded by bars and restaurants — making it easy to grab dinner and drinks before the show and keep the night going after.

Whether you’ve loved them since the Commit This to Memory days or you’re discovering them now, this is one nostalgic night you won’t want to miss.
