To quote Tan and Handsome front man, Chris Oberholtzer, “August Burns Red at The Golden Pony… This… This is irresponsible.” As irresponsible as putting a band like August Burns Red in a venue capped at 190 people is, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity. August Burns Red are currently on tour supporting Bullet for my Valentine and Trivium on their “Poisoned Ascendency Tour” and stopped to perform a one-off headliner at The Golden Pony in Harrisonburg, VA on 5/10/2025. They had support from local bands Tan and Handsome as well as VARA ALTA. The Golden Pony was the perfect set for a small and intimate show with the metalcore kinds August Burns Red.
