Boston's Haywire bring their Roadrunner debut to Soma on March 10

The hardcore-rooted punk band's 2027 U.S. run stops in San Diego on a Wednesday, with $24.99 tickets on sale now.

Fast songs, short songs, choruses built for a room full of people yelling along: that's the Haywire formula, and it's coming to Soma in March.

Haywire plays Soma on Wednesday, March 10, 2027, at 8 p.m. The date was announced Oct. 23, and tickets are $24.99 through Ticketmaster. Soma holds 2,300, so this is a real step up in room size for a band that came out of basements and DIY halls.

The San Diego show is one of the last stops on a long 2027 tour. According to TicketNews, Haywire plays the U.K. and Europe in January before the U.S. leg launches Feb. 12 in Louisville, Kentucky; the final West Coast swing runs from Phoenix on March 9 to Seattle on March 15. Metal Injection's tour listing has the same itinerary, with Soma the night after Phoenix's Bull Shooters.

The reason for all this road time is a new record. Haywire's album *I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye* arrived Oct. 2 on Roadrunner Records, the band's new label home. Stereogum introduced it with the single "Interstate Love Affair," and Melodic Magazine followed with "Sincerely Yours." For a band rooted in hardcore, landing on a label of that size is a significant move — the kind that turns a cult band into a band that can headline a room like Soma.

What hasn't changed is the sound. Haywire comes from Boston, and their music grows out of the city's hardcore tradition: short, straightforward songs, fast tempos, big singalong choruses and a heavy dose of street punk. That's how Metal Injection and TicketNews describe the band, and it's a style that has always made more sense live than on headphones. Their 2025 tour, covered by BrooklynVegan, was billed as a huge U.S. run in its own right, so they've been building this audience the old-fashioned way — one packed room at a time.

San Diego has a long relationship with that kind of punk, and Soma is where a lot of it has played out. A Wednesday-night booking at a big all-ages room, with tickets under $25, is about as accessible as a touring punk show gets. Whether you've been following Haywire since the early records or you only found them through the new album, this is the right size room to see what the fuss is about.

The practical stuff: the 8 p.m. start means a school-night show that won't run too late. At $24.99, tickets are priced to move, so don't assume you can wait until the week of. And if you plan to be anywhere near the front, expect to work for it.

Short songs, long tour, one night in San Diego. Sounds about right.
