[CANCELLED: October 28, 2020] Five Finger Death Punch / Ice Nine Kills / I Prevail / Papa Roach [moved to May 6]
As they started to say people could gather in smaller groups, the likelihood of huge arena shows like this seemed in doubt. We can all hope that as things get better, new shows will be on the horizon.
At some point (I don’t know when exactly), the band posted this message
Message from the band: We were really looking forward to getting the green light for hitting the road in 2020.
As it stands – and probably as no surprise to you – our Fall tour with Papa Roach, I Prevail and Ice Nine Kills, unfortunately, has to be canceled. Rest assured, we are watching the situation very closely and we will be back on the road the moment it becomes possible 👊🏼💥 We hope to see you guys soon and in the meantime, follow us on social media for news, new music, special announcements, giveaways and all kinds of surprises. 👊💥
My son and his friends were going to go to this show primarily for Ice Nine Kills.
He and I saw Ice Nine Kills last summer and thought they were amazing. So good in fact that I offered to be the chaperone of this show (rather than his friend’s dad). It might still happen.
I feel like disappointment is inevitable since INK are opening, not headlining. And they wont be on as long or be able to do as much (I assume), but even a little INK is better than none.
I actually don’t know Five Finger Death Punch, although I’ve certainly heard of them. I had no idea they were [according to Wikipedia] one of the most successful heavy metal bands of the decade. The few songs I’ve heard were alternately catchy or really vulgar. I also just found out that 5FDP has engaged in a lot of very questionable activities, including a recently released anti-masker video. So screw those guys and I hope that INK plays with someone else.
I don’t know I Prevail, but they are a metalcore band, like so many other bands these days. Catchy with some screamo vocals.
I’ve known of Papa Roach for a long time but have never heard them. I feel like I dismissed them early on because they were part of the nu metal scene.
Papa Roach has been described as alternative metal, alternative rock,hard rock,nu metal,rap metal. Allmusic has compared the band’s recent work to 1980s glam metal-a knowing update of an ’80s Sunset Strip sleaze rock outfit with new elements of djent.
I listened to one song (from 2005) and found it catchy and another song (from 2015) and heard the djent influences.
I think this entire show would have been exhausting.
