Indie pop band Fitz and the Tantrums is taking the stage at the Bryce Jordan Center for the THON 2026 National Act.

Formed in 2008, the band is best known for hits “HandClap” and “I Just Wanna Shine,” as well as “Out of My League” and “The Walker,” both of which reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts in the 2010s.

Lead vocalist Michael Fitzpatrick headlines Fitz and the Tantrums and performs with Noelle Scaggs, James King, Joseph Karnes, and Jeremy Ruzumna.

After its performance at the Bryce Jordan Center, the band will resume its tour, performing in West Virginia Saturday night before heading back to California, where it was created, for two concerts.
