No venue? No problem! Haywire perform under a freeway overpass following venue closure

Author Benedetta Baldin - 24.8.2026

The preparations for Boston hardcore band Haywire to perform at the Corazon Del Barrio in San Diego, California this past Friday, August 21st, were derailed, as per theprp. Given the circumstances, the group performed a guerilla event next to a metropolitan motorway, which was attended by both fans and the local authorities, who appeared dissatisfied with what they witnessed. Ironically, Haywire singer Austin Sparkman provided an explanation for the unusual performance environment, blaming the police for the show’s cancellation from the location listed above.

I wanna make something clear, to my knowledge It was not the venue that fucked us — it was the police department of San Diego. They sent a gang task force to close up Del Barrio today, and they cited the place, they condemned it. So now they have to get inspections by the the fucking fire marshal. Because they see what happens when Dead City plays. But what a bunch of fucking idiots, cause look at what we did. They just made us do what were gonna do anyway.

Haywire just revealed that they had signed with Roadrunner Records, and on October 2nd, their new studio album, “I Don’t Wanna Say Goodbye,” will be released.

  • Wednesday, September 09, 2026 – The Rave / Eagles Club, Milwaukee, WI, US
