Last night, Boston hardcore band Haywire played a short-but-sweet pop-up show in NYC’s Times Square.
Teasing it on Instagram with a location and coordinates, they gave fans an hour’s notice about the set. Within 30 minutes, hundreds of people were ready to catch the performance.

Only after a song-and-a-half, the NYPD ended the show and confiscated the band’s equipment. Despite the shutdown, Haywire were able to play “FLEX YOUR HEAD” from their recent album, I Don’t Wanna Say Goodbye, and a snippet of “Haywire.”
Last week, they announced a massive 2027 headline tour that will bring them across North America, the U.K., and Europe in just four months, playing 80 shows.
