Dashboard Confessional at Stage AE!

When award-winning band Dashboard Confessional smashed into the Emo music scene in 1999 with their national breakthrough album, “The Swiss Army Romance”, the writing was on the wall: a cult idol in the making. The music resonated with fans across the globe.

Frontman Chris Carrabba quickly became a household name among fans. His intimate and heartfelt song craft and emotional authenticity are evident in hit after hit: from "Vindicated" to "Screaming Infidelities", from "Belle of the Boulevard" to "Remember to Breathe", from "A Sharp Hint of New Tears" to "Living in Your Letters". In his own words, "Honesty is at the heart of the writing process, at the heart of the recording process, and at the heart of the collection of songs." Rolling Stone hailed Carrabba’s chest-swelling songwriting as a summary of "the vulnerable charisma that has made him a cult idol for fans who crave the kind of emotional realness that has totally disappeared from the mainstream-rock assembly line."

With several headlining tours under the belt, Dashboard Confessional will be soaring through the biggest tracks in their discography at the go-to place for live music in Pittsburgh, the epic Stage AE. This incredible music venue sports an indoor area with a seating capacity of 2,400 as well as an outdoor amphitheater with space for 5,550 heel-to-toe fans.

Chart-topper Dashboard Confessional will be joined by special guests Boys Like Girls and Taylor Acorn in what promises to be an unforgettable show.

Hailing from Boston, gold-certificated band Boys Like Girls has bashed straight to the top with award-winning hits such as "The Great Escape" and "Blood and Sugar", also sharing stages with some of the greatest names in Emo, such as Fall Out Boy and Third Eye Blind.

With her unique blend of pop and country with an underlying Emo streak, Taylor Acorn pushed her way into the music scene with her cover of Matchbox 20’s “Unwell”. She has since secured her position at the top with her breakthrough song, “Put It in a Song”.

The Dashboard Confessional line-up consists of Scott Schoenbeck, Armon Jay, Chris Kamrada, Kenny Bridges, and Abigail Kelly.
