Tour Prediction and Speculation Thread Tour • Page 640

3/26 Fall Out Boy @ Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids
3/30 Origami Angel @ Russel Industrial Center, Detroit
6/2 Have Heart @ Russel Industrial Center, Detroit
9/13 NAILS @ Tangent Gallery, Detroit
9/14 Charli XCX / Troye Sivan @ Little Caesars Arena, Detroit

 

Ill end up with 26 shows this year with 4 of those being fest days (a 3 day fest and a standalone).

My favorite was Sleep Token at red rocks but that feels like it's cheating as it's such a great venue and I would have enjoyed about any competent band there but I do love sleep token and the live show was a spectacle that did a beautiful venue right.

Normally WWWY takes the cake as well, but I was underwhelmed this year, and also overwhelmed by the whole experience to where I'm out for next year.

Other shows I loved:
Knocked Loose (Twice - Atlanta & Vegas)
Sleater Kinney
Two Door Cinema club
Delta Sleep.

For next year, I've got 6 locked in currently.
High Fade
156/Silence
Thrown
Last Dinosaurs
Imminence / Landmarks
Pierce the Veil

 

I went to less shows this year than I would’ve liked but some favorites:

3/11 - God’s Hate / Twitching Tongues @ Paper Tiger
5/06 - Knocked Loose / Speed @ Stubbs
6/08 - Drain / Terror / Angel Du$t / End It @ Empire
6/15 - Noah Kahan @ Moody Center

 

Only went to six shows this year counting When We Were Young festival.

-The Ghost Inside/Paleface Swiss @ The Fillmore in Charlotte, NC
-Lorna Shore/Whitechapel/Kublai Khan/Sanguisugabogg @ Greensboro Special Events Center in Greensboro, NC
-WWWY Festival in Vegas. Favorite sets were Simple Plan and My Chemical Romance.

Definitely hitting more shows next year. Spring schedule is already packed.

16 that I have tickets for already

 

Damn, you guys buying early! I tend to not stack up my year that far in advance but for the most part that's because I don't go after the 'hot' tickets and am mainly hitting club shows that thankfully are still pretty easy to get.

 

Yeah, most of mine are things that are out of town or that I knew would sell out fast haha

 

I have tickets to see Ryley Walker in January, then literally nothing after that. A new baby in February will do that to the schedule. Crossing my fingers that I can make it to Boys Night Out in March, and I will be at the [rumored] Rilo Kiley reunion tour whenever that happens, but I suspect 2025 will be a very light show year for me, at least in the first half. Ideally I'll be able to do Riot Fest and whatever The Wonder Years end up at later in the year. A day of Lolla too if Olivia Rodrigo ends up playing.

 

A handful of new Lucy Dacus dates are up on her site

 

He Is Legend @ Furnace Fest
The Beautiful Mistake @ Furnace Fest
Norma Jean @ Furnace Fest
Blindside @ Furnace Fest
Hotline TNT @ Drkmttr Collective
Slowdive @ Rabbit Rabbit
Swans @ Third Man
SiR @ Marathon Music Works
The Armed @ Eastside Bowl
Wednesday/Hotline TNT @ Eastside Bowl

no order

 

Chaos & Carnage 2025

 

2024 highlights:
- seeing Winona Fighter twice, Summerfest set was great
- seeing Emery play As Your Voice Fades 3 times
- seeing Silverstein play a 175 cap vfw, although the experience itself wasn’t great
- The Forecast at WWWY
- The Academy Is on the Holiday From Real cruise
- Anberlin with Stephen Christian surprise filling in for Matty
- lots of shows starting to come Green Bay, bands I never thought I would be able to locally

 

I don't tend to buy a ton of tickets way in advance anymore. Otherwise, my calendar gets way over-booked so typically I only buy if it's something I'm 100% committed to going to or it's something that I anticipate will sell out quickly so I want to have the option to go/easily resell my tickets.

 

Overall my favorite set of the year was Something Corporate @ Four Chord.

Four Chord as a whole was a fantastic experience as well but these were the other shows that stood out for me over the course of the year:

TWY/Menzingers @ Sherman Theatre
The Ghost Inside @ Stage AE
Neck Deep/Drain @ Franklin Music Hall
Beartooth/The Plot in You @ Franklin Music Hall
Arm's Length @ Thunderbird Music Hall
Real Friends @ Preserving

2024 was not as stacked as a year for shows for me unfortunately as 2023 was. Missed out on a lot of shows that I wanted to go to due to some life complications. And 2025 will be even less stacked since I'll be on a thru hike for half the year.

 

From their FB post, it will be the last shows in the US where they will play LP1

 

Psyched to see Norwalk, CT getting some love.

 

Honestly… pretty sick

 

Very good chaos and carnage lineup, should have no problem selling tickets.

 

I mean I feel like they have beat this horse a lot at this point

 

My top 5 shows this year:

1. Blur- Fox Theater, Pomona, CA

2. The Jesus Lizard- Garden Amp, Garden Grove, CA

3. Soul Coughing- The Bellwether, LA, CA

4. Ohana Fest (Pearl Jam, Alanis Morrisette, Idles, The Breeders, Kim Gordon)- Doheny State Beach, Dana Point. CA

5. The Blood Brothers- The Observatory, Santa Ana, CA

Weezer’s Blue Planet tour would’ve made the list if traffic didn’t blow and made me miss almost all of Dinosaur Jr’s set

 

More Bright Eyes shows might be announced soon? A show in Ventura, CA got posted today by the venue:
