THE USED Announces 'A Mid Summer Night's Symphony' Screening

THE USED has announced the world premiere of "A Mid Summer Night's Symphony", filmed at the world-famous Sydney Opera House. The screening will take place at the Landmark Nuart Theater in Los Angeles, California on October 28, featuring an intimate question-and-answer session with the band.

Doors for the screening open at 6 p.m., and tickets can be purchased here.

"A Mid Summer Night's Symphony" sees THE USED reimagining their biggest songs with a full orchestra and choir, turning the fan favorites that have been screamed along to for years into something grand, cinematic, and unforgettable. The performance marked a monumental first for the band, who took the legendary stage for the first time in their 25-year career for this once-in-a-lifetime event in March.

The screening follows what has been a strong live year for THE USED. In addition to the iconic Sydney show, they made appearances at Sonic Temple, Vans Warped Tour DC, Inkcarceration, Great South Bay and Vans Warped Tour Long Beach.

In addition to the headline tour dates this fall, THE USED will continue the festival momentum with performances at Louder Than Life, Vans Warped Tour Orlando and Nowhere District.

The band is currently on a West Coast tour, concluding with supporting MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE at the Hollywood Bowl on October 30.

The band will close out the year with performances at Vans Warped Tour Orlando and Nowhere District in Thailand.

THE USED helped define the sound of a generation with their chaotic and melodic cacophony. The band Billboard praised for its "knack for crafting brutal yet crowd-pleasing anthems" and The New York Times called "weird and catchy and unexpectedly funny" stood tall against the tests of time and trends, now 25 years into its journey stronger and more passionately purposeful than ever. "THE USED's colorfully unhinged post-hardcore became a vital part of the scene responsible for breaking bands like MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE [and] FALL OUT BOY," wrote Kerrang! Songs like "The Taste Of Ink", "Pretty Handsome Awkward", "The Bird And The Worm" and "I Caught Fire" incite massive singalongs in theaters and clubs, at Vans Warped Tour, and at huge festivals worldwide.

Over 25 years, they've scored four Billboard 200 Top 10 debuts and ten Billboard Hot 100 singles. "The Used" (2002) and "In Love And Death" (2004) are certified platinum in the United States, and "Lies For The Liars" (2007) went gold. Each record was celebrated in 2025 on THE USED's massive 25th-anniversary tour, which featured each landmark album played in full across three nights in each city.

Singer Bert McCracken and bassist Jeph Howard co-founded THE USED in Utah in 2000. Drummer Dan Whitesides joined nearly 20 years ago, and guitarist Joey Bradford has been with the band since 2018.

The original incarnation of THE USED was born from the conservative isolation, myopic boredom, and restless angst of their crucial formative years spent some 45 miles from Salt Lake City in Orem, Utah.
