Some shows leave you entertained, some shows leave you reflecting, thinking, or wondering; this show did both. The venue had special orchestra seating all the way up to the stage and two separate balconies — a perfect setup for a moody, late-night vibe. Mammoth and Nonpoint brought a certain energy that mixed nostalgia with being right in the moment. Seether finished the night with a no-frills rock show spotlighting their latest album The Surface Seems So Far. Their set started with their early 20000s anthem, “Gasoline,” and from the guitar lick, the crowds were singing. They didn’t need fancy tricks, or wild visuals — just tight playing, honest lyrics, and a setlist that reminded everyone why their songs still hit after all these years.

Wolgang Van Halen’s supergroup Mammoth warmed up the show for Seether, and they did the job well done. They hit the stage with zero hesitation and gave their crowd a tight, loud, and energetic show. Wolf’s vocals were strong, clear, and he made it obvious this band isn’t riding on a last name. Their set started with a personal favorite, “Another Celebration At The End Of The World,” and it could not have been a better emotion in a room. Mammoth shows are never flashy, but with three guitar players and four singers, it doesn’t need to be. The term “messy” will not ever be a description of this band. Highly suggest this group if someone is looking for a modern take on rock n’ roll.

Nonpoint kicked off the night, in their typical headliner fashion. These Florida natives came swinging on this tour, opening the entire night with headbang anthem “Breaking Skin” dialed all the way in. Absolutely no time wasted warming up — ready to take the roof off. Their set was compact, dense, and loaded with all the best songs: “Ruthless,” “What a Day,” “Bullet With A Name,” and their popular cover “In The Air Tonight.” As tradition, Elias owned the stage, throwing every rhyme like it meant something, and the four gentlemen behind him never took their foot off the gas pedal.

In conclusion, “The Surface Seems So Far” is a must see spring tour. By the time the lights came back on, it was clear this was not just another night of live music. Each band brought something different, and it was memorable to say the least. This one of the few tours that provide real bands playing instruments consistently for a crowd that actually cared. These kinds of shows reminds you why live music still matters.
