Thrice are set to bring their 2025 tour back home this Sunday for a highly anticipated show in Anaheim at House of Blues — a performance that will truly be a homecoming.
For longtime fans, this show carries a special energy. Thrice grew up just a few miles away in Irvine, where the band first took shape in the late ‘90s inside Orange County garages, VFW halls, and small clubs that still feel legendary to those who were there in the early days. Even after decades of touring the world, releasing beloved albums, and influencing countless bands, there’s still something powerful about watching Thrice play in the region that raised them. There’s a pride, a nostalgia, and a sense of shared history — they aren’t just returning to a city, they’re returning to their roots.
The Anaheim date arrives near the tail end of their current tour, which has seen the band perform career-spanning sets celebrating the full range of their catalog — from the explosive energy of Identity Crisis and The Illusion of Safety to the atmospheric evolution of Vheissu, Palms, and Horizons/East. Fans have praised the band for delivering some of their tightest and most emotionally charged performances in years, with Dustin Kensrue sounding as strong as ever and the Breckenridge brothers locking in with machine-like precision.
What makes this weekend’s show special is how personal it feels. Every time Thrice come home, the crowd sings louder, the band leans in a little harder, and you can feel the connection between audience and artist tighten. It’s a reminder that Thrice didn’t just come out of Southern California — they belong to it. And for a band that’s spent over two decades evolving musically while staying true to themselves, playing Anaheim again is less about nostalgia and more about celebrating a legacy that continues to grow.
For fans who’ve been there since the early days — and for those discovering Thrice for the first time — Saturday night is shaping up to be one of those special Orange County shows people talk about for years.
