2025 – Baltimore, MD

Hey baby, here is that concert review you wanted! Blessthefall are currently touring on their Gallows 2025 tour in support of their new album Gallows, their first album released in seven years, and they stopped to perform at Nevermore Hall in Baltimore, MD on 9/24/2024. Colorblind, Dark Divine, and Miss May I are the openers on this bill and I can’t think of a better way to warm up a crowd. Non-stop chaos, crowd surfers, jumping and headbanging are just a few descriptors for the evening. Blessthefall always puts on a phenomenal show and this night was not any different!

Concert Review: Summer of Loud 2025 @ York State Fair 7/19/2025 – York, PA

Heavy riffs, constant energy, and all of the pyro you can imagine – this was the Summer of Loud festival. On July 19th, I had the privilege to attend The Summer of Loud Festival at The York State Fair. Eight bands, four headliners, and unforgettable moments. This amazing festival featured Dark Divine, Alpha Wolf, The Devil Wears Prada, The Amity Affliction, I Prevail, Beartooth, Killswitch Engage, and Parkway Drive. This dream lineup destroyed the York State Fair and I am so glad I was able to witness it.
