Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands winners, Midfield, are gearing up to take the stage at Van’s Warped Tour DC in just a few days. Their path to Warped Tour was somewhat unexpected; having thrown their hat in the ring among so many incredible bands, the win was tremendously meaningful and just a bit surprising for the Philadelphia pop-punkers. I, for one, am well and truly stoked to catch these guys in action; it’s sure to be a fantastic set.

Midfield’s origin story picks up at the end of founding members Matt and Kurt’s prior project, Falcon Punch. They began releasing music as Midfield in 2018, survived a few lineup changes and the Covid pandemic, and began to really pick up steam again in 2022. 2024 brought the release of Midfield’s first full-length record, also marking the start of a rapid ascension in the scene. More recently, the band released a single in collaboration with Ben Dehan and free friends; coming soon fans can expect lots of new music and some super rad tours and event appearances. After that… the sky’s the limit for the energetic five piece. Probably fair to say we won’t be calling Midfield “under exposed” for much longer.
