Skating Polly are hitting the road once again, bringing their fearless “ugly-pop” vision to audiences alongside Los Angeles-via-Austin provocateurs Lord Friday the 13th for a tour that promises catharsis, chaos, and unfiltered punk energy. For more than a decade, Skating Polly have carved out a singular place in modern punk, evolving from youthful outsiders into one of the genre’s most inventive and emotionally resonant forces. With Chaos County Line, the Oklahoma-bred trio—Kelli Mayo, Peyton Bighorse and Kurtis Mayo—have pushed that evolution even further, delivering an expansive double album that swings from art-punk abrasion to melodic power-pop while preserving the unruly spirit that has defined the band from the start.

Built around the raw honesty and experimental ambition of Chaos County Line, the tour arrives as Skating Polly continue a creative high point fueled by some of their most vulnerable and explosive songwriting to date. Songs like “Hickey King,” “I’m Sorry For Always Apologizing,” and “Double Decker” showcase a band unafraid to confront identity, obsession, and emotional survival, while channeling those themes into music that feels as exhilarating as it is confrontational. Long admired for turning personal chaos into communal release, Skating Polly have made a career out of transforming punk into something both abrasive and deeply melodic—music that feels, as Kelli Mayo has described it, like armor.
