Hot take incoming, I would vastly prefer almost any One More Time/Part 2 track to Can’t Go Back on the setlist.
Have you been there for a live performance? Hits different live IMO. It’s a rad slower song that isn’t a ballad. They do need a song that fits the bill sonically like Everything, Everywhere though. They’re missing a Heavier Boxcar esque / Untitled song rn. Up All Night was the stand in, but something like Obvious, Snake Charmer, Terrified, Violence is missing rn.
Really wished we could've had a couple shows playing OMT in full. Do bands do that anymore? Not me complaining after just seeing them perform a killer setlist live, haha.
Enjoy that show! I went from "eh, seeing them at Riot Fest the one time will be fine" to being really bummed I didn't jump on tickets to that one and plan to take a half-day at work. Haha. But I don't see any scenario where I could get all the way up to NH in time for the show's start. That's all. Just wanted to say have fun and I'm mad jealous! LOL
I'm going to be very happy with the setlist tomorrow, but a part of me will still be hoping that Every time I Look for You gets added, haha.
Some festivals market a band as "performing xyz album in full" but as far as a tour - you see it less frequent. NFG did something in that vain a couple years back where they would play 2 albums a show and mix it up night to night. 311 will do that from time to time, and of course blink did it on the Enema anniversary tour w/Skiba and Lil Wayne.
That would be super rad. The tour was more than I could have asked for, but one pro shot show with the entire thing from a fest would be awesome. I highly doubt it though, can’t imagine it would capture a general audience.
Last night was amazing…I think my favorite show I’ve seen by them. They sound incredible on this tour.
saw them this weekend and im gonna be honest tom sounded so bad that i couldnt vibe with it lol, he sounded like when people parody him as a joke a lot of the time. he was fantastic when i caught angels and airwaves a few years ago so i was mildly shocked even tho i know its always kinda been his deal haha. mark sounded good and alkaline trio were great as always though
Seat upgrades have been released for tonight, if anyone going is interested! https://www.livenation.com/atvenue/KovZpa1qje/top_menu
the venue posted it in the facebook event page for the show yesterday. Not sure if they shared it anywhere else!
Here's Dumpweed from Saratoga the other night, speaking of Dumpweed would love to hear your theory as to why the song is called Dumpweed? I've never heard Tom or Mark explain the song title choice..
Dumpweed refers to someone who was dumped and won't stop talking about it/won't move on long after the appropriate time to mourn a relationship
I think that urban dictionary entry was made after the song came out but I don't hate that interpretation...
First blink dates of 2026 have arrived with Innings Fest in AZ Was wondering what their 2026 looked like with possibly taking time off, but guessing they'll hit festivals again?
For anyone going tonight, if you see a guy in an Andrew McMahon/Red Rocks tshirt under a plaid button down and (glow in the dark) dinosaur shoes, that's me, haha. I'm flying solo tonight!
