American Football - Honestly, Stay Home, Never Meant - Outbreak Fest 2024

[@warbound91]

Can you imagine making an album realizing that it was gonna go nowhere, breaking up to all lead separate lives, then coming back decades later to have found out you all become legends in a scene you didnt know you started? What a great story.

[@johnny7727]

I doubt they imagined in 1999 that they'd one day be performing across the pond to thousands of fans, with people jumping on stage and singing along to just their guitar riffs. The crowd’s reaction to Never Meant was so heartwarming, a great reminder that you never know what sort of an impact your project might have 25 years later

[@ileutur6863]

And if they wrote the same album now it would've been buried within weeks because they didn't film. enough corny tiktoks to promote it.

[@dpaul428]

I love the resurgence they're having, but speaking as someone who remembers when the album came out, it didn't "go nowhere." It was a well-recieved indie-rock record, and that was just a much smaller world back then.

[@v0n_]

Truly amazing, wish I was there. Saw them in Boston in 2017, but this show and new resurgence is amazing to see

[@osidiusemphatic]

The story of Owen's booking agent contacting promoters who told them, "We'd happily take an American Football tour too if you rep them" was a fascinating read. They seemed genuinely confused why promoters were asking for a band that hadn't released an album in over a decade.

[@HavokVFX]

everyone stand for the national anthem

The crowd singing along to the riff in Never Meant. Beautiful

[@ThreeCrowns]

Euro and South American crowds just rule, so much better than American crowds (I'm American)

[@zeusandodin]

@@ThreeCrowns they know how to put their phones down lol

[@rylie_xvx]

the fact that the sun was setting on the visualiser wall at the same time as real life was crazy, easily one of the best nights of my life!!! i was privileged enough to get mike kinsella's setlist actually, and i have it framed on my wall now haha

[@3xarch]

maybe they did it on purpose

[@PolyvinylRecords]

Mike's little dive @ 20:03 🥲

checked!

[@Untitledfoundtape]

this was so fucking magical, the people vibing, the video of The House synchronized with the sunset, that ending... I flew from Rio to Manchester just for the fest and despite the debts and pre-travel stress, it was one of the best decisions I've made in my life. unforgettable

Ps: conheci até o “SUS” britânico pra dar um ponto na boca pós show do mindforce. Marca do primeiro de muitos outbreak

Four guitars is actually insane, I love American football!

[@TheLoneDeranger]

Anyone know who Far Right is?

[@eggcellenteggcellent]

@TheLoneDeranger it's Mike, additional member who fills in on several instruments who is also a guitar tech

[@greateagle5555]

The Outbreak crowd is the best

[@paracosm167]

love how the security vibin' with the audience while keeping everything safe 18:10

[@finestjellybeansrawlol9486]

The security were top notch all weekend. Obviously not as big a factor on this stage but on the 2 more hardcore focused stages they did a good job of staying out the way but jumping in when someone was hurt or likely to get hurt without disrupting things e.g. stopping dives at one area of the stage during Harms Way because someone needed medical help.

[@VannahCakesYo]

HE WAS VIBING SO HARD

[@thisisebo]

And no one said how smooth Nate changed the guitar to bass on Honestly, hats off sir.

[@LiftedBlader]

He really do be drumming like that

What a way to close the festival ❤️

[@indie_music_travels]

Gorgeously shot and edited, thank you for sharing such a labour of love....

[@actionlessintvl]

Oh man, do I freaking love Steve's drumming

[@makeouthill919]

I wouldve balled my eyes out if i were here

[@purplemonolith7464]

As a person that WAS there, I cried. There was something so magical about them.

[@revanolfernando5874]

crying mannn😭

[@woomyrune]

"Honestly?" is my favorite american football song, seeing it and hearing it played live is amazing

[@osidiusemphatic]

Man, that tech is basically the sixth member of the band now. Good for him. I'm sure he has a cool story.

[@GarethKitchenerMusic]

Amazing footage David, can't compliment it enough, it looks and sounds incredible. Welling up watching this.

[@PityPitMusic]

This might the most animated I’ve ever seen a crowd at an american football show

[@dwikyarsa]

Nangis pas Never Meant keren banget pada sing along semua cooyyyy. Thanks for the video my man! The audio is amazing too!

[@alfiazami3274]

[@jimtobakos1933]

Man, every set I have seen from this fest seems lit. Really love the stage for the audience before the real stage. Honestly a great idea. That Never Meant performance looked like a hell of a time.

[@darrendarke]

I tried to spot myself during honestly. Saw myself for a split second before the camera cut away. Was magical.

[@Rdorulesbc2]

thank you for this video, guys. one of the best days of my life

[@bladechild2449]

the guy on percussion is having the time of his life

[@simonreynolds5605]

Fuck yes

[@Dridgeism]

Wouldn't mind these guys getting around to making something new... I feel like LP3 was everything LP2 should have been.

[@creekandseminole]

I feel like they have another album left in them. They're a real full fleshed out band here and sound so good

[@bladechild2449]

I feel like they only captured the magic in the bottle once. And that's fine. Same for bands like Refused. Something you did a long time ago gets famous and you can't just go back.

[@warganet6243]

They came in frm midwestern im frm mideastern

[@gutsypath9]

Explain to know!

[@1thess523]

Did they forget their bassist?

[@FitzTorralba]

Why do midwest drummers know how to play the trumpet/horns? (Mom jeans etc)

[@Snuxsher]

I thought Lamos has left the band?

[@bperusek]

Had the same thought. Surprised to see him.

[@JoshLStuff]

He came back before the band really did anything else anyway so didnt really mean too much in the end

[@jemorebb]

@@3xarch I'm pretty sure that's his comfy spot

Drummer use dynamics please. It's not a metal band😂

[@rite2843]

His drumming is perfect for this style of music. just LOOK AT THAT, its so SMOOTH

This was a great way to end an insane weekend of madness, it felt like a very bittersweet moment knowing how awesome of a weekend I had and how it was now coming to an end 🥹
