Pierce The Veil is coming home. The San Diego-born rock band will close out its “I Can’t Hear You World Tour” this Saturday, September 12, with a stadium show at Petco Park — the largest headlining concert of the band’s two-decade career.

The finale caps off a tour that launched in May 2025 as a career-spanning retrospective, pulling setlist cuts from all five of the band’s studio albums across stops in North America, Europe, Latin America and Oceania, according to Wikipedia. It marks the band’s 23rd headlining tour overall. Tickets for the Petco Park show sold out after going on general sale in January.

The San Diego finale serves as a hometown homecoming for the band.

From San Diego Punk Clubs to a 40,000-Seat Stadium

Pierce The Veil’s 2007 album A Flair for the Dramatic marked an early full-length release under the band’s name.

Saturday’s hometown concert will feature support from Julia Wolf and In Color, with the show slated to begin at 6:30 p.m. local time. Along the way to the Petco Park finale, Vic Fuentes also performed at the Summer Night Concerts at the PNE Fair and, just days before the San Diego stop, played the Freedom Mobile Arch in Vancouver, British Columbia, on September 5.

A Career Built on Supporting Slots and Viral Comebacks

Pierce The Veil is listed among the supporting acts for My Chemical Romance’s extended tour, a pairing Hoodline covered when the band joined MCR’s anniversary tour.

The tour’s momentum has been fueled in part by an unexpected streaming resurgence. “So Far So Fake,” originally released on the band’s 2023 album The Jaws of Life, gained attention through a viral TikTok dance challenge and radio promotion that summer, according to Wikipedia. That renewed attention translated into radio success: the song reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart, per WIKB 99.1FM.

The Jaws of Life was a 2023 release from Fearless Records, Wikipedia notes. Meanwhile, the band’s tour includes its 2012 single “King for a Day,” featuring Kellin Quinn.

Ticket Sales Support a Youth Music Charity

Beyond the music, Saturday’s show carries a charitable component tied directly to Fuentes himself. Live Nation is donating $1 from every ticket sold for the Petco Park concert to the Living The Dream Foundation, according to Ticketmaster. The nonprofit organizes “Dream Days” for children and young adults with terminal or life-threatening illnesses. Fuentes has been involved with the organization since 2016 and was appointed its CEO and co-chairman in August 2019, according to Loudwire.

Petco Park's Growing Role as a Concert Venue

The Pierce The Veil finale is another concert at Petco Park, a venue that also hosts baseball. That trend has continued this year: Live Nation acquired the historic 1924 Wonder Bread Building in the nearby East Village in June, with plans to convert the former bakery into a 4,000-capacity indoor venue set to open in fall 2028, filling what industry watchers see as a gap in the local market for mid-sized shows.
