Good Terms Columbus, Ohio 2/28/2026

Good Terms, the emo pop punk band from Los Angeles, came to Columbus for yet another sold out show on their “Highway to Hell Yeah Brother Tour” on February 28th 2026. The anticipation for the show was obvious as soon as you stepped foot into Ace of Cups that night. Fans were cramped like sardines from door to door and wall to wall, yet no one in the venue seemed the least bit bothered by the lack of personal space or the scorching temperature of the room. Only smiles on their faces, recently purchased band merchandise in hand, and an excited buzz radiating off of them.

The Los Angeles, California locals formed as the band Good Terms in 2018 and have been growing ever since. The five piece group consists of Brian McShea (lead vocals, guitar), Zach Boucher (guitar, vocals), Ivan Barry (guitar, vocals), Geo Botelho (bass, vocals), and Brendan McCusker (drums). Their most recent album Burnout has done exceptionally well, being featured on multiple radio stations and even getting a deluxe version which the band released in January of this year. Boucher, producer and guitarist of Good Terms, wrote on their website that the album consists of “multiple intertwining lyrical themes of identity, alienation, and perspective” which proves why these songs resonate with the fans so deeply. 

The lineup for the night was jam packed, with three openers performing before Good Terms took the stage. Local emo and post-hardcore band A Tiger Made of Lightning started the set out, followed by stop.drop.rewind, and Boys of Fall. The three acts were the perfect start for the show and instantly had the fans eager for the main act to start. In an attempt to persuade them to come on stage sooner, the crowd bursted into a chant. “Good Terms! Good Terms! Good Terms!” erupted from the crowd and crescendoed as the lights dimmed and members of the band began to take the stage one by one. 

Good Terms didn’t hesitate to take the stage by full force. The strong vocals, gnarly guitar riffs, and heavy drums were setting the pace for the full set. Fan favorites like “Old Friend,” “Wither Away,” and “All In” had the room jumping, but not a single song on the setlist resulted in a lack of energy from the crowd. Fans were singing every word with hands in the air, moshing, and headbanging the whole night long. “Jump” by Van Halen made the setlist and was taken very seriously, every person in the room was jumping up and down with one another and kept the excitement going. 

Not only were the fans having the time of their life, so were the members of Good Terms. They were spinning around on stage, lifting their guitars in the air, and headbanging along with the crowd- it was impossible to tell who was enjoying the night more. The band was incredible with crowd work, with their “hell yeah brother!” chant uniting the fans with cheers and laughter. The energy of the night was infectious and had everyone in the room wishing the night would never end. If you’ve wanted to see Good Terms live, act fast. With only 11 stops left on the tour and tickets that are selling out quickly, now is your chance!
