Jimmy Eat World & The Format Set to Celebrate "Bleed American" & "Dog Problems" at the Hollywood Bowl

Mark your calendars, because November 7th is shaping up to be one of the year's most special nights for fans of early 2000’s rock and indie pop. Jimmy Eat World and The Format are joining forces at the legendary Hollywood Bowl for a night built entirely around nostalgia done right, and it's hard to imagine a better way to spend a Saturday evening under the stars.

The night centers around two milestone anniversaries. Jimmy Eat World will perform their landmark album "Bleed American" in full, marking 25 years since its release. It's hard to overstate just how influential that record has been, shaping a whole generation of rock fans and cementing the band as one of the genre's most enduring acts. Hearing it played front to back at a venue as iconic as the Bowl feels like exactly the kind of full circle moment this album deserves.

Sharing the bill is The Format, celebrating the 20th anniversary of their beloved sophomore album "Dog Problems." This one is a real treat for longtime fans, since The Format only has two full album performances scheduled all year, making this an especially rare chance to hear the record in its entirety live. "Dog Problems" has built a devoted following over the years for its lush arrangements and heartfelt songwriting, and revisiting it two decades later at a venue like the Hollywood Bowl feels like the perfect stage to give it its due.

What makes this pairing even more meaningful is the connection between the two bands. Both Jimmy Eat World and The Format have deep roots in Arizona, and this show marks the very first time these two acts will share this legendary stage together. There's something really special about two artists from the same scene coming together to honor their own histories side by side.

Tickets go on sale this Friday, July 31st at 10 AM PT, and given the rarity of both full album performances happening on the same night, this is shaping up to be one of the hottest tickets of the fall concert season. Whether you grew up blasting "Bleed American" in the car or you've been waiting years to hear "Dog Problems" performed live, November 7th at the Hollywood Bowl promises to be an unforgettable night of music history in the making.
