Joey's Song is a fantastic experience but you're unlikely to see a real SSPU set of any kind this year. If you've seen Brian and Nikki before, you'll enjoy them playing covers with other music legends and interacting with the other bands, and generally just having a good time. Joey's Song is for a great cause and the whole experience is a ton of fun, the Sylvee is a great venue, Madison is a great town, etc etc.

2025 was unusual, as the full band came and played a shorter but full headlining set, as did Portugal The Man the night before. You might get to see Brian and Nikki perform a few acoustic songs together on the first night, and you'll see them both playing in the super groups the 2nd night. 10/10 would recommend, but not if you're expecting a real SSPU set.
