I have heard nothing but good things about their live set every expectation I had was completely shattered by their unbelievably remarkable time on stage. I have been a fan of Nothing More’s for a while but unfortunately had never gotten the opportunity to see them live before. Nothing More was the second band on stage. I will not be surprised to see them headlining their own summer amphitheater tour in a very short time. Bad Wolves held their own in front of such a large audience. Hit “Zombie” – which was the first song of 2018 to go platinum – closed out the performance and was dedicated to Jill Janus of Huntress the song got everyone in the audience who was not already standing up on their feet, singing along to every word. She sounded great and left a great impression, despite the short time she was on stage. During their short set, they performed songs off their debut album Disobey, including “Officer Down,” “Learn To Live,” “Remember When,” and “Run For Your Life.” Special guest Diamante was brought up to perform “Hear Me Now ” I previously saw Diamante in action when she opened for Bad Wolves in Maine, but her stage presence was even better this time around. The only band member who was not jumping around the stage was drummer John Boecklin for obvious reasons, but he was not forgotten about behind his kit. Guitarist Doc Coyle and bassist Kyle Konkiel (guitarist Chris Cain was absent this night) moved from side to side themselves, never staying glued to one specific spot. Vocalist Tommy Vext was very audience aware he acknowledged the fans all the way from the front to the back and from side to side. Bad Wolves were even better the second time around. This was my second time seeing Bad Wolves I had previously caught them live when they co-headlined with From Ashes To New at the Aura in Portland, Maine. Bad Wolves is still a relatively new band to the scene, although, with the mark they have been making lately, it is easy to forget that their debut album was released only a few months ago. Part of Live Nation’s Ticket to Rock package, the tour stop at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA was packed to the brim with fans eager to see all four bands on the bill. One of the biggest tours of the summer is the Five Finger Death Punch and Breaking Benjamin co-headliner. Where: Xfinity Center, Mansfield, Massachusetts

Who: Five Finger Death Punch, Breaking Benjamin, Nothing More, Bad Wolves
