Co-headliners Five Finger Death Punch and Breaking Benjamin brought their summer tour to the Shoreline Amphitheater last night. It was quite a night of incredible music, stage productions and non-stop energy! The summer tour, co-produced by Live Nation and Frank Productions, will hit in 32 North American cities(see below) and features special guests Nothing More and Bad Wolves.
The night kicked off with a fierce set from Bad Wolves, who released their debut Disobey earlier this year and have been garnering non stop praise for their music. The set got the crowd off their feet with their fists in the air. They concluded their set with a very special tribute Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries) by performing their cover of Zombie which has topping charts on a global level. Check out photos of their set:
Next up was Nothing More and they delivered 150% non-stop energy. They are a 3x Grammy nominated hard rock/progressive metal band that brings their intensity to the stage and captivates the audience. They brought out their Scorpion Tail which is 400-pound stage prop, 14-foot tall Mad Max-like animated structure was built by bassist Daniel Oliver from scrap metal and salvaged auto and motorcycle parts. Vocalist Jonny Hawkins rides the contraption onstage while simultaneously creating digital electronic effects for the songs. The crowd went wild with excitement and it was a highlight of the night.
The crowd cheered with excitement as the white curtain dropped and Breaking Benjamin hit the stage. Everyone was standing and rockin out for the entire set. The crowd was singing along as they performed fan favorites and plenty of new songs off EMBER, their self produced sixth studio album which was released in April and debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The set also included a kick ass medley that included Star Wars Imperial March, Nirvana, Pantera, and Metallica. It was spectacular. Check out some photos:
The night concluded with an epic set by Five Finger Death Punch. They had released their seventh studio album, AND JUSTICE FOR NONE earlier this year debuting at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The band sounded spot on and they truly provided a stage production that matched the intensity of their performance. From start to finish the fans were captivated by their set.
