Destroy Boys book Warsaw for March 26 on their FOIE GRAS tour

The punk band's spring 2027 run, behind a new Epitaph album, stops in Greenpoint with illuminati hotties and The Rat Utopia Experiment.

Put this one in the calendar now, because spring shows at an 800-capacity room have a way of disappearing while you're still thinking about winter. Destroy Boys will play Warsaw in Brooklyn on Friday, March 26, 2027, with illuminati hotties and The Rat Utopia Experiment on the bill. The listed start time is 6 p.m., and tickets are on Ticketmaster.

The date was announced Oct. 26 as part of a bigger rollout. Destroy Boys have a new album, FOIE GRAS, due March 5 via Epitaph Records, according to The Line of Best Fit and Clash. The band has already shared singles from it, including "Plucked." So by the time they reach Warsaw, the record will have been out for three weeks, which is about the right amount of time for a crowd to know every word to the new songs.

The tour itself is a 22-date North American run. TicketNews reports that it opens March 13 at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles and closes April 16 at August Hall in San Francisco. Brooklyn falls roughly in the middle, two weeks into the run, when a band has shaken out the new material and hasn't yet started counting the days until home.

By the time they reach Warsaw, FOIE GRAS will have been out for three weeks, about the right amount of time for a crowd to know every word.

The support is a draw on its own. illuminati hotties, the project led by producer and songwriter Sarah Tudzin, is a name a lot of Brooklyn indie fans will recognize, and pairing them with Destroy Boys makes this a stacked bill rather than a headliner plus filler. The Rat Utopia Experiment rounds it out.

Then there's the room. Warsaw holds 800, and it's the kind of size where a punk band can feel huge without anyone in the back losing the plot. For a group touring a new album on Epitaph, it's a step that makes sense: big enough to feel like an event, small enough that the pit and the people singing along at the bar are part of the same show.

When to buy: now, if you know you're going. A March date announced in October gives the casual fans five months to decide, and the ones who don't wait are the ones who get in. Buy through the official Ticketmaster link rather than resale, and note the early listed start: with three acts on the bill, a 6 p.m. listing means you'll want to plan your Friday around getting to Greenpoint on time.

Between now and then, there's an album on the way. Spend the winter with the singles, and by March you'll be ready.
