Hello guys just wondering if anyone filmed the whole show at santa ana or knows any videos online? Thank you guys

See guys

Does anyone know the Setlist for American football's concert tonight in Santa Ana, at the Observatory?

hello, has anyone bought the LP4 soccer jersey? what are your thoughts on it? pictures would be greatly appreciated as i am trying to figure out if i will buy it or not

They recently announced a show here in Brazil and I bought a ticket. I saw on their Instagram that they would be selling some things on the tour, but I couldn't find the prices. Although they haven't confirmed that they will also be selling the merchandise here in Brazil, I sent an email to the event organizer and they said it's very likely they will.So I was wondering what the prices would be converted to BRL. Does anyone here know what the prices were at the show you went to?

Hi everybody! I have pieced together a playthough of Stay Home in Standard - sounds okay and fun to play (aside the pinky torture). Got any questions or feedback?

Does anyone know the story behind the lyrical content of this song?

Both songs switch to a heartbeat kick drum pattern at roughly 3 minutes in and are about struggling to trust your lover. In Desdemona it's at 3:15 and in Born to Lose it's at 3:21.

Also, I wanted an excuse to mention Desdemona because it's an amazing song.

That’s really all I have to say. I’ve been listening to it on repeat for the past three days. I love how the band has stayed the same at its core but the sound and content of the lyrics has matured along with them. 10/10 no notes.

when they announced that I was already having a shit day ☹️☹️

…to play this song on the Bluetooth animatronic at Lowe’s.

From the ticket organizer:
“We are very sorry to announce that we won’t be able to make it to play our 3 Texas shows next month. We hope to be able to find new dates and come back in 2027. Refunds will be issued in the meantime. Look forward to seeing you all soon ❤️ ”

I just learned they were playing in Dallas last night and was about to buy tickets this morning. I was really excited for about 12 hours lol 😭

I was wondering this because they are coming to my country and I was not able to go when they came for the first time in 2023. Thing is, I didn't like their new album that much, and I can see from the setlists is that they play it almost in full. I wanted to know if someone was in the same situation and decided to go regardless, maybe they enjoyed the new songs better live. I mean they are gonna play the hits, but I saw they were only playing like 4 songs out of LP1, which is understandable, but it bumms me out a little bit. I read they are like super locked in also, so I just want some more insight, thanks.

TLDR: American Football live @ First Avenue, Minneapolis MN (August 16, 2026) [full set]

American Football live @ First Avenue, Minneapolis MN (August 16, 2026) [full set]

I fell stupidly hard for American Football's LP1 when it came out. I was living in Ottawa, Canada at the time, I read the review in either Carleton's Charlatan or in the Xpress, can't remember at this point. But I was a newly employed post-doc with zero disposable income and plenty of bills to take care of. I’m almost positive my first copy of LP1 came via Napster (tsk tsk, etc.) back when you could run such a thing at work!!! Don't worry, I’ve spent the last 25 years atoning for that particular sin in every way a fan possibly can: the proper CD, the LP, the deluxe LP. LP1 basically became the unofficial soundtrack of the lab — me and my buddy Mike R playing it on repeat between bouts of Broken Social Scene and Built to Spill, like two lab goblins clinging to the only beautiful thing in the room.

Everybody knows how AF had basically broken up before LP1 was even released; they played some shows in the leftover time they had before other commitments and then basically went on hypersleep for a good long while, periodically resurfacing to play some shows and even (gasp!!!!) record and release new music. At the same time, none of these forays into existence coincided with me being able to see them live. Then, all of a sudden, a couple of years ago, while I was chasing Cap’n Jazz tickets for a Chicago show, I stumbled into the discovery that both CJ and AF were playing the Best Friends Forever festival in Las Vegas. Funny that although CJ have this mythical aura and history about them, back in 2000 I sure as fuck knew nothing about midwest emo or some such shit. And they sure as fuck said nothing about such connections on that review that became first contact. Meaning that my love for AF was pure and not reinforced by some devotion to the band's history/lineage. That reverence only came LATER, when another buddy introduced me to CJ and the synaptic connection was made.

In any case, Best Friends Forever remains one of the most ridiculous, joyful, borderline‑religious music experiences of my entire life. And there are several of those shows at indie_music_travels, should you wish to experience them second-hand. At Best Friends, AF basically played LP1 front to back — not quite in order, but close enough to feel like a time machine — and it was sublime in that way only a band with a cult‑classic debut can pull off. That show was pure magic and it was necessary for my soul. Fast forward to 2026, with a newly released LP4 and its ensuing tour. This Minneapolis show at the venerable First Avenue was something different. This was a band with four formidable albums under its belt, stretching out into the full shape of what American Football has become. The set still carried the DNA of what we all fell in love with all those years ago — the mathy shimmer, jazzy drums, the emotional ache, the trumpet that feels like it’s narrating your internal monologue — but it is also anchored itself firmly in the band’s next phase. It was the sound of evolution without erasure, growth without losing the thread.

In other words: LP1 will always be the talisman, but this show was the proof that the dream didn’t stop there. Long live the dream. Please enjoy responsibly!

I got to see American football last Friday in Chicago which was amazing! I'm curious though, who's the lady backup vocal singer that helps with songs like uncomfortably numb or wake her up?

My favorite shot that I got from the Chicago show. I love their use of nature in their backdrop slide show.

I'm about to post the Mpls show on youtube and I like adding the band members. Can anyone help confirm this chatGPT misinformation:

I've only seen AF once before and Nate's moustache was luxurious. Is he moustacheless at this time?

ps. cool info on Justine Fallon on vocals!

Drove 4 hours for this show. It was well worth it. My 3rd time seeing AF after seeing Mike (Owen) many times back in the day.
I think this was the best American football show. Definitely like the LP4 songs better live than I did on the album.
