The Used – 25 Years of The Used: Three Nights, Three Albums, One Unforgettable Celebration

October 27, 2025 by Josh Custer in Show Preview

For 25 years, The Used have been the heartbeat of an entire generation of emo, post-hardcore, and alternative fans. From heartbreak and chaos to catharsis and community, their music has been a soundtrack for every emotion you couldn’t quite put into words. Now, they’re giving fans something truly special—a three-night event in Indianapolis celebrating their legacy by performing three of their most iconic albums in full.

Night One – November 1: The Used (Self-Titled)
It all begins with the record that changed everything. The Used (2002) wasn’t just an album—it was an awakening. It gave us The Taste of Ink, Buried Myself Alive, and an introduction to a sound that was messy, loud, and beautifully human. That debut captured something raw that no one else had quite bottled yet, mixing desperation and melody in a way that made every scream feel like your own. It’s the record that launched a movement and gave countless fans permission to feel everything. Experiencing it live, front to back, is going to be pure nostalgia mixed with the kind of chaos that only The Used can deliver.

Night Two – November 2: In Love and Death
The second night brings one of the most emotional records in The Used’s discography. In Love and Death captured grief, heartbreak, and healing with brutal honesty, marking a turning point for the band both musically and personally. Songs like All That I’ve Got and I Caught Fire became anthems of survival, weaving vulnerability and aggression in a way few bands could replicate. The album showed a more mature, self-aware side of The Used while keeping their signature chaos intact. Every lyric feels like a scar that’s finally healed, and hearing it live is sure to bring back every emotion it carried the first time around. This night is going to hurt in the best way possible.

Night Three – November 4: Lies for the Liars
Closing out the run is Lies for the Liars, the album that proved The Used could evolve without losing what made them special. It’s wild, theatrical, and full of bite. Tracks like The Bird and the Worm, Pretty Handsome Awkward, and Hospital pushed the band’s boundaries and gave fans something bigger and bolder than ever before. It’s The Used at their most unapologetic—loud, clever, and slightly unhinged in all the right ways. The record feels like a celebration of everything they’d built up to that point, combining catchy hooks with unfiltered emotion. This night is bound to be pure electricity, closing out the three-night run on an explosive, unforgettable high.

Three nights. Three albums. One city ready to scream every lyric back. This 25-year celebration isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about honoring the music that’s still connecting people decades later. Whether you’ve been following them since 2002 or found them on a playlist last week, this is your chance to be part of something special. Grab your tickets, clear your schedule, and don’t miss a single night of The Used in Indianapolis.
