A Day To Remember: The Least Anticipated Album Tour
ADTR Puts on a Show to Remember
A Day To Remember, easily one of the most popular mainstream metal bands, took the stage at Red Hat Amphitheater in Raleigh, NC, this past Tuesday (7/2/24). True to their name, they put on “A Show to Remember.” Accompanied by Pain of Truth, Four Year Strong, and The Story So Far, ADTR wowed not only me but also the thousands of people in attendance with their iconic songs and a party-like atmosphere. My first experience seeing ADTR was in 2021 at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival. At the time, I was not a fan of the metal scene, yet I discovered that just about anyone can have a good time at an ADTR show. From commanding rhythms and beats to CO2 cannons, pyrotechnics, and even beach balls, the show was an intoxicating euphoria. Now, three years later, I am such a big fan of the metal scene and genre that I am volunteering as a mixed media concert journalist just so I can attend more shows. I can’t help but feel that my initial experience with ADTR played a large part in that development.
While ADTR may lean slightly more towards mainstream/pop metal, they definitely showcase an affinity for the heavier side, as evidenced by the first band of the night. Opening the show was Pain of Truth, a band quickly making a name for itself in the hardcore scene. Led by frontman Michael Smith, their set was a visceral, adrenaline-fueled display of anger, attitude, energy, and rage. The lineup includes Nik Hansen and Ridge Rhine on guitars, Chris Rini on drums, and Zach Stachura on bass.
If you’re curious about their pedigree, just look through their features; with names like Terror, Bad Seed, King Nine, Billy Club Sandwich, and many others, it’s evident that this band is destined to leave a mark on the scene. It was clear from the start of their set that those who had arrived in time for the opener were there specifically for Pain of Truth, not just to secure a good spot for the main event. In terms of moshing and reckless engagement, Pain of Truth undoubtedly ignited the most activity I saw in the audience all night.
Taking the stage next was Four Year Strong, a band technically categorized as American easycore/pop-punk from Worcester, Massachusetts. The four-man band consists of Alan Day and Dan O’Connor on guitars and vocals, Joe Weiss on bass, and Jake Massucco on drums. Their most recent album, “Brain Pain,” was released by Pure Noise Records on February 28th, 2020.
They kicked off their set with the title track “Brain Pain,” and proceeded to play a variety of their tracks, including the song” uncooked” from their not-yet-released album “Analysis Paralysis,” due out on August 9th, 2024. The crowd responded energetically to the new material, showcasing the band’s ability to blend catchy pop-punk melodies with hardcore intensity.
The Story So Far, hailing from Walnut Creek, California, took the stage after Four Year Strong. Named after a 2002 song by New Found Glory, with whom they later toured in 2012, the band has gained recognition in the pop-punk realm. Their LP “Under Soil and Dirt” was ranked in Rock Sound’s list of The 51 Most Essential Pop Punk Albums of All Time, alongside other iconic bands like Simple Plan, All American Rejects, Green Day, and The Offspring. However, I found their performance to be lackluster and unenergetic, a sentiment echoed by many fans post-show. Lead vocalist Parker Cannon spent the majority of the set with a subdued demeanor, clutching the microphone and his pants, showing little emotion. This was further reflected in my photographs from the event, where he appeared detached throughout the performance.
ADTR was everything I remembered and everything I hoped for. The audience was thrilled with anticipation, and the energy was palpable. Just like the last two times I saw them, they kicked off with a bang, literally. Confetti cannons fired during their opening song “Sticks & Bricks,” setting the tone for the exhilarating show to come. ADTR’s history is as rich as its discography. They signed what many called a deal with the devil with Victory Records in 2007, and were notoriously mistreated by the label’s owner, Tony Brummel. Credited with ending this mistreatment, they won their lawsuit against Victory, which eventually forced Brummel to sell the company. They continued to release music independently, proving with their album “Common Courtesy” and hits like “Right Back At It Again” that they didn’t need major label backing to succeed. Recent legal troubles led to Josh Woodard’s departure from the band, and he has been replaced by an unnamed and unidentifiable guitarist for their “Least Anticipated Album Tour.” Despite my searches on the band’s Instagram, website, and the internet, I couldn’t find any information about this mysterious guitarist who appears in all the show photos.
After my three songs were up and I was permitted to re-enter the venue, I was eager to recapture the euphoria I had felt previously, now as a more committed fan of the scene. It was upon re-entering that I noticed the venue’s segregation. For me, concerts are a place of equality—especially rock, metal, and hardcore shows—and it didn’t sit right with me that the majority of the audience was excluded from “The Pit” where moshing and crowd surfing take place, simply because they didn’t purchase upgrade tickets. Perhaps I’m more accustomed to bands at festivals or smaller venues, but being unable to get close to the action and feel the energy seemed unfair. While I stayed and enjoyed ADTR from a distance, I found myself constantly on my tiptoes, trying to peer over into the VIP area to gauge the size of the mosh pit or catch some cool crowd surfing. Speaking of which, if you’ve never been to an ADTR concert, they have a unique bit where they encourage the audience to stand/surf on top of someone who is already crowd surfing—a staple of their performances. I believe this division in the crowd is likely a venue regulation, not a tour ploy to make more money.
In the end, this night with A Day To Remember and the rest of the lineup at Red Hat Amphitheater was a full-throttle blast from start to finish, reminding me why I fell in love with the metal and hardcore scene. Despite the slight disappointment with the venue’s segregated sections, the concerts showed that music—especially the kind with guitars cranked up and drums that hit hard—still has the power to unite us. Each band brought something unique to the stage, from Pain of Truth’s raw ferocity to ADTR’s anthemic bangers that had us all reaching for the sky, even if from a distance. And while the mysterious new guitarist for ADTR added an element of intrigue, the night was ultimately about the music and the community it fosters. As the lights went down and the final echoes of the encore faded, I walked away with my ears ringing, my heart full, and a renewed sense of connection to this wildly pulsating world of metal and hardcore music. No matter the barriers, the spirit of the pit—unyielding and wild—lives on in every chord struck and every lyric belted. Tonight, just like that first time at Blue Ridge, I was reminded why this music, this scene, is a relentless force in my life.

Sabrina Carpenter kicked off her European leg of her Short
n Sweet tour on Monday night in her ex-boyfriend Barry Keoghan’s homeland
of Dublin.
The singer, 25, took to the stage in Ireland, just months after splitting from
the actor, 32, and couldn’t help but make a subtle dig at him.
Following performing her hits Espresso, Feather, and Taste,
Sabrina broke out into Please, Please, Please – a
song she wrote about the Saltburn star.
Barry even starred in the music video which saw the former Disney star beg him to
not let her down.
However, in reality the pair have split and Sabrina has since released a new video
starring Dolly Parton, as she references the death of
her relationship.
Speaking to the packed crowd in Dublin’s 3Arena, Sabrina joked that
Irish boys were ‘hard work’ before breaking out into the track.
Sabrina Carpenter kicked off her European leg of her Short n Sweet tour on Monday night in her ex-boyfriend Barry
Keoghan ‘s homeland of Dublin
The singer, 25, took to the stage in Ireland, just months after splitting from the actor,
32, and couldn’t help but make a subtle dig at him
According to The Mirror, she said: ‘Dublin, it’s so lovely to be here.
You all look and sound amazing. But my goodness, these Irish boys are
hard work’.
Sabrina and Barry were an item for about
one year before their breakup was revealed in early December, with rumours quickly swirling that
the actor had cheated with influencer Breckie Hill.
Barry broke his silence on the breakup after deactivating his Instagram in the wake of the speculation.
Taking to social media app X, he hit back at the ‘lies, hatred’ and ‘disgusting commentary’ and explained
why he quit Instagram.
‘I can only sit and take so much. My name has been dragged
across the internet in ways I usually don’t respond to,’ he
wrote in a lengthy statement.
‘I have to respond now because it’s getting to a place where there
are too many lines being crossed,’ Keoghan asserted.
‘I deactivated my account because I can no longer let this stuff distract from my family and my work.
The messages I have received — no person should ever have to read them.
‘Absolute lies, hatred, disgusting commentary about my appearance, character, how I am as a parent and every other inhumane thing you can imagine,’ he wrote.
Barry lamented that people on the internet have been ‘dragging my character and everything I worked extremely hard
for and stand for.’
Barry even starred in the music video which saw the former Disney star beg
him to not let her down, prior to their split in real life

Sabrina and Barry were an item for about one year before their
breakup was revealed in early December, with rumors quickly swirling that the
actor had cheated with influencer Breckie Hill – which he denied
The message continued: ‘Talking about how I was a heroine baby and how I grew
up and dragging my dear mother into it also.
Knocking on my granny’s door.’
‘It’s been challenging for their relationship since she started
going on tour and has been gone a lot,” a source told Us Weekly.
‘Their schedules were not aligning. All the time spent apart it was hard to maintain a relationship amid her career exploding,’ it was added.
Barry shared that he is focused on fatherhood, and added that he wants his two-year-old son Brando, from his prior relationship with Alyson Sandro Kierans, to be able to look up to him.
It comes after Sabrina left BRIT Awards viewers outraged on Saturday night with her very raunchy performance which opened the star-studded ceremony at the O2 Arena in London.
And MailOnline had VIP seats to watch the American singer’s jaw-dropping performance, including the moment she got down on her knees in front of a ‘King’s Guard’.
The set’s finale was so saucy it had to be edited for the ITV broascast, with the camera focusing on the soldier winking, instead of Sabrina’s suggestive position, which shocked the crowd inside the arena.
MailOnline also caught the moment Sabrina sprinted off stage to make a very speedy costume change halfway through her controversial set.
Sabrina had to dash backstage to strip off her red sparkly military-style blazer dress, which was in homage to Britain.
She belted out her hit Espresso in the dazzling number which was complete with sexy stockings and towering heels before running backstage between songs to slip into racy lingerie.

EXCLUSIVE
Behind the scenes of Sabrina Carpenter’s raunchy Brits performance
Turning up the heat for her performance, Sabrina was seen stripping off her blazer dress while a crew member helped her unzip the number and slip into her next costume before breaking out into Bed Chem.
The former Disney star was raised up through a platform on the stage as she sang the hit on her knees surrounded by lingerie-clad dancers.
The performance went down a storm inside the arena, with MailOnline spotting the star-studded crowd, which included the likes of Jade Thirlwall and Maya Jama, up from their seats and dancing along to the anticipated set.
But after being aired by ITV pre-watershed, there was an outraged reaction from viewers at home. Some vowed to immediately contact ITV and Ofcom.
The jaw dropping performance appeared to come close to breaking the Broadcasting Code’s 9pm watershed rules and left some viewers in shock with one father saying he was ‘fuming’.
‘Unsuitable material’ should not be shown before 9pm and ‘can include everything from sexual content to violence, graphic or distressing imagery and swearing’, according to Ofcom.
One mother said her 11-year-old daughter is ‘obsessed’ with Carpenter ‘and I explained to her whilst watching this performance that this is why I’m not taking her to the concert’.
‘Sorry not a good idea to open up with before 9pm! It’s still family time, very inappropriate,’ one viewer wrote on X.
Meanwhile, others warned that not everyone may be a fan of the pre-watershed performance.
‘This performance before the 9pm watershed? oh Sabrina, I love you x some parents will end up complaining though let’s face it #BRITs.’
‘Ofcom after Sabrina’s Brits performance #BRITs #sabrinacapenter’;
‘Me cheering on Sabrina to be even more filthy and promiscuous to make all the Facebook mums complain more #BRITs’;
Ofcom did not confirm to MailOnline whether it has received any complaints about the performance, instead saying it would be in its published report on Wednesday if there were more than 50.
ITV has also been contacted for comment.
Carpenter has previously defended her sexy stage persona telling The Sun: ‘My message has always been clear — if you can’t handle a girl who is confident in her own sexuality, then don’t come to my shows.’
Elsewhere during the night, Sabrina took home the Global Success award which was presented to her by actress Millie Bobby Brown.
