Hey There, St. Petersburg: Plain White T’s & We The Kings Crown Florida Night

BY Maria Vanderbilt | November 16th, 2025

The Plain White T’s and We The Kings teamed up with Emo Nite to bring fans the Delilah vs. Juliet Tour, closing out the run in St. Petersburg, Florida, on November 12, 2025, at Jannus Live.

The Plain White T’s took the stage at 8:30 p.m., opening their set with the pop-punk-leaning tracks “Would You Even” and “Hate (I Don’t Really Like You)” before shifting to an acoustic moment with “1, 2, 3, 4,” one of their most beloved songs that had the crowd singing along.

They followed with high-energy favorites “Happy” and “Feeling (More Like) Myself,” during which lead singer Tom Higgenson joked about the surprisingly calm crowd. Moments later, that calm disappeared, and fans were crowd-surfing and forming a pit as the band launched into a seamless transition and cover of Fall Out Boy’s “Dance, Dance.”

The Plain White T’s closed their set with fan favorites “Rhythm of Love” and, of course, “Hey There Delilah.” Tom paused to thank the audience and reflect on the 20th anniversary of the album All That We Needed. After the final note, he ran along the barricade, handing out stickers and taking photos with fans.

Right at 9:30 p.m., We The Kings kicked off their set with an explosive performance of “Secret Valentine,” immediately igniting the crowd. Band members moved across the stage to greet fans on both sides, tossing guitar picks between songs. They continued with “Find You There” and “She Takes Me High.”

For “I Feel Alive,” lead singer Travis Clark hyped the crowd by asking everyone to squat before each chorus, then jump and wave their arms like inflatable tube men, a dance created by his daughters, as he proudly shared. Later in the set, Travis and guitarist/keyboardist Coley performed an emotional rendition of “Runaway,” dedicating the song to Travis’s wife in the audience.

As the night drew to a close, the band delivered their biggest hits: “Skyway Avenue,” a cover of The Killers’ “Mr. Brightside,” and the iconic closer “Check Yes Juliet.” During “Mr. Brightside,” Travis jumped into the crowd, singing and celebrating with fans.

The night was electric and nostalgic, an unforgettable finale to the co-headlining tour featuring both Plain White T’s and We The Kings.
