THE HEADLINER
There’s a new generation of pop punk artists hitting the scene and one of its biggest names is coming to the State Theatre Tuesday, March 21st for an 8PM show.
In classic Gen-Z style, jxdn hit it big by independently releasing music on his TikTok channel and gaining a fast following. He made a name for himself with his single “Comatose,” before being the first artist to sign to DTA Records, owned by Travis Barker of Blink-182.
Since signing, jxden (pronounced jay-den) has blown up with hits “Angels & Demons,” “So What!” and more jams you’ll be sure to hear at Tuesday’s show. Click below for ticket information and more details.
