Jimmy Eat World's sold-out show at Fox Theater Pomona and Coachella performance

 

Jimmy Eat World are currently on their Spring and Summer tour in celebration of the album anniversary of ‘Future’ and ‘Surviving.’ The group have released ‘Futures: Phoenix Sessions (Chapter V) and ‘Surviving: Phoenix Sessions (Chapter X) which are available on vinyl. These albums commemorated the twentieth-year anniversary of ‘Futures’ and fifth year anniversary of ‘Surviving,’ album release.

Jimmy Eat World kicked off their tour in Southern California. The group performed a sold-out show at the Fox Theater in Pomona, California. Music fans lined up on the block outside of the music venue. There were lengthy lines even moments before Jimmy Eat World performed, as fans continued to enter the venue in rotation. The music venue was filled with patrons in the pit to the second level sets.

The group began the show promptly at 9pm. Lead singer and guitarist, Jim Adkins, mentioned that the group had previously performed at the music venue, The Glass House, which is located down the block from the Fox Theater. Jimmy Eat World performed their classic songs and deep cuts from their discography. Adkins provided history from the band’s musical career and commented that Drew Barrymore featured their song in one of her films which ignited their music opportunities. Barrymore also invited the group to appear on a radio show with her.

These fateful actions boosted the career of the Rock group who formed in Mesa, Arizona in 1993. Adkins shared that the group considers California their second home. He provided his gratitude to the audience. Adkins remarked that it meant a lot to them that their fans support them. As the concert continued, the concertgoers became more engaged by dancing, moshing, swaying their arms in the air, and singing along to each song performance.

Jimmy Eat World continued their California tour by performing at the main stage at Coachella music festival on the weekend of April 12th. The group will be performing Coachella’s second weekend, the weekend of April 19th. For upcoming events at The Fox Theater Pomona, visit their website.
