All Time Low: Back to Future Hearts Tour
November 10, 2015
On Monday, November 2 All Time Low and their co-headliner, Sleeping With Sirens, performed at the 1st Bank Center on the Back to the Future Hearts Tour along with opening acts One Ok Rock and Neck Deep.
Doors opened at 5 p.m. and the show started at 6 p.m. with the opening act One Ok Rock, a post hardcore band from Japan, performing their songs “35xxxv” and “Mighty Long Fall”, among others. Even though the band didn’t seem to be widely known, the audience was really pumped, and it really set them up for the rest of the bands.
Next was Neck Deep who played a few of their popular songs as well, hoping to get the crowd ready for the co-headliner Sleeping With Sirens.
By about 7:30 p.m., Sleeping With Sirens was ready to play, and the crowd went wild with excitement. Their setlist consisted of 15 songs, many off their new album Madness, such as “Gold” and “The Strays”. But they also played some old favorites for long time fans such as “Do It Now, Remember It Later” and one of their acoustics “Roger Rabbit”.
The main act All Time Low played last, starting out with a newer song from their album Future Hearts called “Satellite”. This lead into a mix of songs from their whole discography, including “Missing You” from Future Hearts and fan favorites like “Lost in Stereo” from one of their older albums Nothing Personal.
“It was a great concert, the played all my favorite songs, and I enjoyed the whole show,” said Imma Honkanen, 12.
Alex Gaskarth, lead singer, and Jack Barakat, guitarist, between songs told jokes and talked to the audience in order to keep the mood positive, and held witty conversations with bassist Zack Merrick and drummer Rian Dawson.
The band played 15 songs for a set, and then came back for a three song encore where they played “Kids in the Dark” and “Something’s Gotta Give off Future Hearts”. Like every other All Time Low show, “Dear Maria, Count Me In” from So Wrong, It’s Right was the final song.
They closed out the show this time with a huge burst of gold and blue heart shaped confetti that covered all the fans on the floor. As fans filed out of the stadium, the air was filled with happy voices, and by many All Time Low fans standard, it was one of the best live performances the band had ever put on. The Back to the Future Hearts tour with co-headliners Sleeping with Sirens extends until November 24 ending in New York, New York in Madison Square Garden.
