The Wonder Years is returning to Minneapolis, at the Varsity Theater, on April 1, 2026.
The Wonder Years
We saw Wonder Years in October 2025 and wrote, “The upside was a little more time for Pennsylvania alt pop-punk band The Wonder Years, who many in the crowd had come to see the most. The band’s last studio record was their seventh, 2022’s The Hum Goes On Forever, and the hum has gone on a while, but new music is promised soon. In addition to old favorites, they did manage to work in a couple of more recent standalone singles- 2023’s “GODDAMNITALL” and last year’s “Year of the Vulture.””.
Weakened Friends
Knuckle Puck and Weakened Friends to open. We last saw Weakened Friends in April 2024 and noted, “Opening the show was Portland’s Weakened Friends, who was very thankful to be on the bill… especially packed shows, such as the Turf Club. They said it was very hard to headline a show, because they booked a show on September 17, 2023, at the Treasury, and “only two people bought tickets.” … To be honest, I’ve never even heard of The Treasury venue and have no idea that there are shows being booked there. Update: A little research tells me that the all-ages venue in St Paul closed its door last October.”.
