August Burns Red

4/10 show : Sylosis, ABR, Trivium, BFMV Overall Experience: B- Best Set: August Burns Red Least Fav Set: Sylosis Most Disappointing: Trivium Highlight moment: Flawless "Composure" live rendition Best Factor: The Poison / Ascendancy Songs Overall pretty good show. I was particularly impressed with ABRs sound and stage presence. I was disappointed in the sound during triviums set. I couldnt hear corey! They needed to turn their guitars way up! But great show nonetheless. Hard to beat those original 2005 albums! Great tunes!

After the other 3 bands put out such incredible performances with such amazing intensity I thought well theres no way itll get crazier now...Welp they played for a little over an hour but it felt like a lifetime of fun I moshed when I said I wasnt going to (glad I did) I crowd surfed (life changer) and word simple cant express the intensity the power the never ending screams without any flaws in the performance I honestly thought Jake Luhrs soul was about to leave his body he just kept going and going and going and I just kept getting more and more rowdy thank you from my heart

One of the best shows I've been too!! I loved all 4 bands and I even got a setlist from Spite! August Burns Red are absolutely amazing and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to Meet and Greet with them and get signed vinyls. Overall the show and the whole team and crew at Marathon Music Works were everything you could ask for. The security were very attentive and really awesome people to talk to through the show. I enjoyed every minute of it❤️🤘

Sick ass fucking show! These guys SLAYED!! From the PIT never stopping to the abundance of us crowd surfing - one of the best shows I've been to hands down! Also I want to shout out to the frontline of security at Stage AE! You guys don't get enough credit for making sure everyone's safe & allowing us to rock on 🤘 TDWP & Bleed Within did a killer performance as well! All around great fucking show!🤘🤙💕

I had never heard of Bleed From Within until that night. They were absolutely incredible! They had such amazing musicality and stage presence, great songs, and were generally so grateful to be there. The guys were all so approachable too, after the show they were taking pictures and talking to non-VIPs like me at the merch table. 1000% respect bands that do that. I remember telling my buddy that price of admission (≈$40) and the 2 hour drive was worth it just to see them play their 5 song set. Will absolutely listen to their whole discography. However, I didn't really care for TDWP, they said all the right things, but the music wasn't really my thing. They sang about things I don't care about, and they generally just kind of put off this arrogant vibe. I don't know. I never really listened to them before, but first impressions were pretty weak. They were very enigmatic and musical on stage but it didn't really capture my attention. I found myself wanting them to stop playing so ABR could get more stage time. ABR. I could write an essay about all the things they did right in that show. Man, what a performance! There's a reason these guys have done it for so long and kicked it with the biggest bands out there. The stage effects were tasteful and flashy in equal parts and it was awesome. The band are absolute masters of their craft, and everyone was just having the time of their life. They played such a strong set with a ton of crowd pleasers, perfect for a 20th anniversary set. It was worth every second waiting in line from 4:30PM until 11:30PM at the end of the show. Not only did they come back and do an encore, the drummer did an incredible 5 minute long solo, and they did another encore song just because. After the show the guys were just talking about life and hanging out with the audience on the front rail. All the guys were so cool and appreciative of everyone. Just because of this show they contend for my favorite band of all time. I always loved their music but seeing them live was more than an experience.

They are absolutely worth the price of admission. In my Top 5 shows that I have been to. August Burns Red is one of those bands that sounds even better live. Insane vocals and those breakdowns slappppp!!! Bleeds From Within is also worth seeing. They are 🔥 live. They need to remaster their songs on Spotify cause they sound so much better live imo. Do not hesitate. Get your tix. They both are a must-see this tour. Devil Wears Prada was good, but Bleeds From Within and August Burns Red were just way more 'wow' factor to me.

This is probably the 15th time I've seen ABR and the 5th time I've seen TDWP and this show was absolutely incredible! Bleed from Within (go check them out) absolutely slapped and I found a new addition to my library. TDWP was on their a game and it made me really happy to see them shred, sound really great and put on a great show. Last I saw them it was not their best performance and I'm happy to say they tightened up and sound stellar. And with ABR, every show I've ever seen them is the best show I've ever been to. And last night did not disappoint! They played stuff from every album (20 year anniversary tour so that makes sense) with Suburbia from Thrill Seeker absolutely slllllaps! Oh and the guitar trades with Dustin and JB going back and forth on lead, clean vocals from Jake on their new song (ahhhh!!!!!), And a stage presence that seriously knows no other. They're the undisputed kings of metalcore. The standard bearers IMO. Oh, and Dustin playing his track "Laniakea", an absolutely savage sweep tap solo that will totally melt your face. I'm grateful to have gotten to see that live considering it's a B Side track and they probably won't ever do it again (I also got a great video of the entire thing from start to finish, fucking incredible to see that live) In conclusion, I say this every time I see ABR but last night's show was probably the best show I've ever been to. Sold out, packed house, Revolution never disappoints. Seriously, props to everyone in involved in putting this together. One of the best music experiences I've ever had if not the best and in grateful I got to be a part of it.

The bands were awesome and Void of Vision was amazing and impressed us. The venue Encore was terrible. The female "Security" groped my wife and sister checking under and squeezed their bra's and put her hands under the back of my wife's shorts. After basically being assaulted we had almost no air circulating with only a few fans during a hot 100°f+ day in Tucson.

ABR put on a killer show! They absolutely murdered the stage and got everyone hyped up. The opening acts Void of Vison, Hollow Front, & We Came As Romans were awesome too and it was the best metalcore show i've been too. Would 100% recommend VIP if you have the opportunity because they are some of the nicest people you could ever shake hands with! 10/10 show \m/

The best show I think I have ever seen! Everyone KILLED IT! I was really looking forward to ERRA and my word did they bring it! Fit for a King shredded for my second time seeing them and Like Moths to a Flame lit the fire to start the night. And even with the stand in singer for ABR it was epic! Completely brought down the house and the Christmas song before White Washed was just unreal. One of the best nights of my life for sure.

Great! Erra played a nice mix. Hoped for White Noise but Drift, Ghost of Nothing, Breach and many more did the trick. Got a video of "Marianas Trench", one or two notes off during the solo but it's a tough song and really clarifies how well they played the rest of the album. They also added vocals for "Meridian" which was quite cool.

Show was Amazing! Meet n Greet was Rad! Thanks for coming to our city guys. You could feel the love these guys give to their audience. Loved it & Can't wait until they come again 💙 @augustburnsred & @Crystallake777 I have never met such a humble and grateful band. For being the opening act they OWNED that shit! For sure got a lifelong fan last night.

Amazing! All bands were rad🤘 crowd surfed three times and lost mind at every breakdown. Really enjoyed Crystal Lake. Their performance was amazing. They played like they were headlining. Shout out to Japan for them. ABR has come a long way and there was a bit of nostalgia at this show. All in all loved it and every band, Crystal Lake, Miss May I, Fit For a King, and August Burns Red, every band killlllllled it

Holy Fuck - Yessssssss !!! Great Power in a small venue = Always a Beautiful thing !!! ABR released a fireball of massive power, strength, passion and love all over this Lancaster crowd !!! They never disappoint !!!...Always Bring the fury !!! What a way to end 2018 !!...Thank You ABR for always staying true and sharing the Love & Passion !!! Christmas tribute shirt 🎄♥️👊🏼🤘🏼- Hope ya got one !!!.... please bring us some ABR Christmas Sweaters to go with your beautiful new Christmas album 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 -make our wish come true !!!

It was amazing!!! All bands were fantastic!!! When ABR came in it was just amazing! Best experience can’t wait again! Only problem was with born of Osiris, their set seemed to be a lot louder than everyone else’s and it messed with my ear, I’m good now though but it was amazing!!! Got to meet Matt right after the show

Loved this show! The opening band Ocean Grove was surprisingly good. The second band Erra was better than I remembered. I will definitely be listening to them more on Spotify! The only sour note was Born of Osiris. I just didn’t find them appealing at all and it kinda bummed me out. But then ABR came on and destroyed like always! I’ve seen these guys every year since 2006 and I am never disappointed! Go see this tour!

Had VIP for the show, wasn't disappointed in the least. All elements of the show were amazing. The venue was perfect for this event. ABR's lighting during their set was spectacular, really amplified their performance. The supporting acts were great as well. Glad I got to hear '68 for the first time, very original sound. Protest the Hero was definitely and in-your-face style combination of powerful vocals and ridiculous technical guitar work. Finally, August Burns Red, what can I say? Only the second time seeing my favorite band live, and this was better than the previous by far. The idea for this tour was brilliant and a great way to bring old fans and new together into one masterpiece of a show.

Sound at the Rocketown venue could've been much better. and I don't particularly like the fact that as a 38 year old man at a concert, the facilities treat everyone like teenagers with a " no re-admittance" rule for everyone, especially when they give out wristbands. I got grey hairs all in my beard. I can take a jacket to my car.Otherwise, though, August Burns Red were phenomenal, and I don't wanna give less than five stars and it be a knock on them. 3 stars for the facility, only because it seems like a really incredible place to be a teen.

ABR had a field day with the most complex music I've ever heard. They played with ease and perfection. Their live performance sounded just as great as it does on their albums. Their performance consisted of group drum solos, sly humor, and lots of dancing around. These guys are a goofy bunch and are music professionals. Watching them live is incredibly delightful and fun. I'm still in awe. Superb job well done guys!

Honestly ABR was head and shoulders above the other 4 opening bands. I only give 4 stars because it felt like they rushed the set a bit and had very little to say to us on a personal level. On the other side of the coin, many come to see a band play their favorites and not have them speak to the crowd. The music however spoke highly. When ABR abruptly ended the show with a "Thank you" the crowd chanted "one more song" until they came back out and played a Christmas tune from Sleddin' Hill and the encored with another full tune. I'd see them again, they were fantastic on stage
