Punk veterans The Menzingers and Hot Water Music share a Friday bill at Newport Music Hall on November 6, 2026, with Weakened Friends.
The Menzingers bring the Everything I Ever Saw North American Tour to Newport Music Hall on Friday, November 6, 2026, with Hot Water Music and Weakened Friends filling out the bill. Doors open at 6:00 p.m., and the show is all ages.
The Menzingers came out of Scranton, Pennsylvania, and became one of the defining bands of 2010s punk with albums like On the Impossible Past, full of shout-along songs about getting older and leaving home. Hot Water Music, formed in Gainesville, Florida, in 1994, are the elder statesmen here, with gravel-voiced post-hardcore that influenced a lot of the bands that came after them. Weakened Friends, from Portland, Maine, open with fuzzy, hook-heavy rock.
Getting both headliners on one ticket is a real draw for longtime punk fans. The Newport, across High Street from Ohio State, has hosted touring punk for decades, and an early door time means three full sets before midnight.
