Taylor Acorn Turns Allentown Into a Pop-Punk Homecoming

Taylor Acorn’s stop at The Arrow inside Archer Music Hall in Allentown on Nov. 8, 2025 felt like the perfect early victory lap for a Pennsylvania artist whose moment has clearly arrived. The show landed just days into her Fall 2025 North American run, which kicked off Nov. 4 in Boston and continues through early December. With the release momentum around her sophomore album Poster Child still fresh, this date carried that “new era just launched” electricity all night.

Even though Allentown isn’t exactly next door to Wellsboro, the night absolutely played like a hometown-adjacent celebration for one of the state’s own. Acorn is originally from Wellsboro, PA, and the crowd energy reflected that pride—wall-to-wall adoring fans, plenty of familiar faces, and the kind of extra-loud singalongs that happen when family and longtime supporters are in the room.  The Arrow was packed in that warm, shoulder-to-shoulder way that makes a rising pop-punk show feel like a shared secret and a big deal at the same time.

Onstage, Acorn balanced polished control with real grit—an artist who knows exactly how to drive a chorus home without sanding off the emotion. Her recent hit “Greener” hit especially hard live, a bright, cathartic moment that underscored why her climb in the modern pop-punk space has been so fast and so earned. The set had that throughline of resilience and bite that’s become her signature, and the crowd gave back every word like it was their job!

The merch table looked like its own mini-event. With a ton of options on display, fans were more than ready to rep the new era—swooping in early and often to grab shirts, vinyl, and whatever else they could get their hands on. With Poster Child fueling the tour and Pennsylvania showing up strong, this Allentown date felt like a reminder that Taylor Acorn isn’t just rising—she’s arriving.
