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.

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 kings August Burns Red.

Spiritbox are currently on their “Tsunami Sea North America” tour with support from Dying Wish and Loathe. This tour stopped in Oxon Hill, MD at the MGM National Harbor and the high rollers were turned into Holy Rollers by the end of the show! With outstanding stage production, haunting lyrics, and a beautiful blend of brutal screams and harmonic melodies, this was definitely a show that had the crowd riding the wave.
