Midnight Til Morning Close U.S. Tour with Stunning SF Finale

November 17, 2025

Last night, San Francisco’s Regency Ballroom was transformed into a place of pure musical electricity as Midnight Til Morning delivered a breathtaking, stellar performance. The group born from the Netflix series Building the Band, has a uniquely modern origin story: musicians forming a band without ever seeing one another, focusing entirely on chemistry, creativity, and instinct rather than appearances. What emerged from that experiment was a remarkably cohesive and charismatic Australian/American boy band featuring Shane Appell, Zach Newbould, Conor Smith and Mason Watts, a group whose artistry has expanded far beyond what viewers witnessed on the show. Opening the night was an unforgettable set by Adrian Lyles, whose passionate performance immediately won over the crowd. His presence was magnetic, his vocals smooth, and his connection with the audience undeniable, earning him cheers from both longtime supporters and brand-new fans swept up in the moment. When Midnight Til Morning finally took the stage, the venue erupted. The set began with audio clips of the members reflecting on their love of music and the journey that brought [Read More]

We Are Twenty One Pilots And So Are You: A Night of Unity at BMO Stadium

October 28, 2025

BMO Stadium pulsed with excited chatter long before anything took the stage. It was Saturday, October 25, and both nights of this Twenty One Pilots weekend were sold out. Fans slowly flowed into the massive venue, buzzing like electricity, their anticipation tangible in the cool evening air. Across the stadium, fans waved their phone flashlights back and forth, hoping the other side would notice and join them. Clikkies have always been known for their fierce sense of community, and here it was shining bright even before note one. Everywhere you looked, fans were decked out top to bottom in merch, homemade recreations of Tyler and Josh’s iconic outfits, and even Ned cosplays straight from Trench. Spirits high. Hearts ready.  Dayglow Sets the Stadium Alight The roar when the lights went out could have blown the roof off. Fans chanted “Dayglow! Dayglow! Dayglow!” until the indie-pop dream himself appeared, soaking the entire arena in feel-good energy. Sloan bounced into the set with so much force that he literally snapped a guitar string in the very first [Read More]

Kublai Khan, Drain, Gideon and Guilt Trip deliver explosive night at San Jose Civic

October 25, 2025

  Kublai Khan is about to finish up their headlining U.S. tour, and they left an explosive, high-energy mark at the San Jose Civic last night. The place was shaking from the first note to the final roar of the crowd. Guilt Trip from Manchester kicked things off, coming out with all the intensity and force the crowd needed to start the night off heavy. They lit the fuse for what was about to become a wild ride. Shortly after, Gideon took the stage, and within minutes the crowd turned into a sea of crowd surfers. Everywhere you looked, people were flying over the barricade. It was amazing. Then came one of the highlights of the night… Drain. Our West Coast locals straight out of Santa Cruz brought a stadium-worthy performance to the Civic. Their set was adrenaline-fueled, fun, captivating, and pure chaos in the best way possible. Their sign says it perfectly: “Drain is not responsible for what you do in the next 30 minutes.” So true, because anything you’ve been holding inside gets [Read More]

We Came As Romans release new single “One By One”

August 20, 2025

Michigan metalcore titans We Came As Romans have announced their highly anticipated new album, ‘ALL IS BEAUTIFUL…BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED’, a while ago. Time is flying fast and the release is almost upon us – Friday, August 22nd! The announcement arrived alongside the release of the album’s third single, “culture wound,” and its accompanying official music video. Following the defiant anthems “bad luck” and “no rest for the dreamer,” this track dives deep into the battle between our best and worst impulses. “culture wound” confronts the fundamental question at the heart of human existence: are we inherently good or inherently bad? The track wrestles with the forces—both internal and external—that shape who we become, delivered through the band’s signature blend of crushing riffs and soaring melodies. “culture wound is about taking a look inside and deciding which side of yourself is going to control your life. This song was written to question our human nature – is it inherently good or inherently selfish? Are we here to try and make something better for everyone or just [Read More]

Metal Act Jinjer Ignites the Stage at SF Masonic Opening for BABYMETAL

July 18, 2025

Metal act Jinjer delivered a high-energy, electrifying set at the SF Masonic, setting the tone perfectly for BABYMETAL. The band launched into their set with a spectacular performance of “Duél,” the title track off their latest album, which has been receiving widespread acclaim. From the very first note, Jinjer unleashed non-stop power and intensity, fueling the crowd into explosive mosh pits and relentless headbanging. It was great to hear so many songs off Duél performed live! They finished their set with Pisces and the crowd went wild.  We last caught Jinjer during their standout performance at Aftershock Festival last year, where they quickly became one of our festival highlights. But seeing them on a dedicated venue stage like the Masonic took their charisma and stage presence to an entirely new level. The intimate setting allowed the band’s energy to radiate even stronger, connecting deeply with fans and commanding the crowd. Jinjer continues to open for BABYMETAL on select dates before hitting the road this fall with Trivium on their North American tour. Don’t miss your [Read More]
