Of Monsters and Men brought a stunning, atmospheric performance to Mission Ballroom — glowing harmonies, dynamic builds, and a crowd that followed every shift from quiet to explosive.

The lighting and pacing made the whole night feel cinematic, with Nanna and Ragnar’s vocals cutting through the room beautifully.

Atreyu turned Skyway Theater into a full-on celebration of metalcore longevity and fan devotion. ⚡️🔥

The band hit Minneapolis with a set that blended nostalgia and new fire — their “Baptize” and “The Beautiful Dark of Life” era songs landing just as hard as early classics. Crowd energy never dipped, and Atreyu proved once again why they’re still one of the most dynamic live bands in the genre.

“Good music is good music.”

The Paradox opened for The Academy Is... at Concord Music Hall, bringing youthful, melodic pop-punk energy that felt both nostalgic and new. Authenticity over polish — and it worked.

Four hours down the road, two decades of fandom behind it — and every mile was worth it. 🚗🔥

Between The Buried And Me turned Wooly’s in Des Moines into a celebration of everything that’s kept fans traveling for them year after year. The Blue Nowhere Tour mixed unexpected setlist picks from across six albums — closing with “Informal Gluttony”. Two decades in, and they’re still setting the bar.

At Denver’s Ball Arena, The Offspring, Jimmy Eat World, and New Found Glory showcased the kind of staying power that turns nostalgia into longevity. 🎶

Together, they reminded thousands why the early-2000s punk/pop punk/emo scene remains one of live music’s most enduring communities.

Brooks Nielsen proved once again that growth doesn’t mean losing your audience — it means bringing them closer. 🌴✨

At SOMA San Diego, Nielsen’s evolution and experimentation have only deepened his connection with fans. From the opening “Drinkin’ the Juice Blues” to the encore’s “One Million Lovers,” he showed how reinvention can still feel like home.

What was meant to be a ritual turned into something else entirely. ⚡️

At The Bluebird Theater in Denver, Dogma’s performance came just days after three core members — Lilith, Lamia, and Rusalka — were suddenly replaced, raising deep concerns about honesty and artistic control.

A difficult night — even as the new lineup gave their all in a no-win situation.

Vertical Horizon and Five For Fighting turned a summer night at Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities into something special. 🌙🎶

Vertical Horizon had the crowd on their feet with “You’re a God” and “Everything You Want” and Five for Fighting brought the emotion with “Superman” and “100 Years,” their edges still hitting as strong as ever.

🎤 Fun fact: Bush is celebrating the release of Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994–2023.
