Baltimore, MD — Set It Off fans showed up in full force for the band’s visit to the Baltimore Soundstage! A line was wrapped around the building for the completely sold out show. By start time, the crowd was fully packed from the stage barrier to the back of the room by the front of house!
*UK’s Caskets was scheduled to perform tonight, but had delayed visas issues that prevented them from doing so. We wish them well and see we’ll them next time they stop by!
First up, DeathbyRomy started off the night. The California native took to the stage with her band and got everyone pumped up! Romy belted out each and every song like she was there to slay every note of the 10-song set! From the opening notes until the last song, she had the crowd screaming and dancing along.
While there was still so much energy in the room, Crown the empire made their way to the stage. Everyone in the room loved every second of it. Lead singer, Andy Leo, made sure to fist bump every crowd surfer as they got up to the pit. Their set list was filled with nothing but fan favorites and had the audience singing along to every word.
Finally, it was time! The crowd was growing eager and chanting, “Set It Off” The lights went down and music played as Set It Off jumped on to the stage. They wasted no time in launching into a high-energy filled set! They took a moment to talk to the crowd about how they spent their time in Baltimore recording their very first album. Vocalist, Cody Carson, surprised everyone by hopping on an inflatable mattress and surfed on the crowd! They made sure to thank everyone including security!
The energy of the evening, was lingering long after the band left the stage after their encore. In conclusion, the Set It Off concert was a phenomenal showcase of musical skills, stage presence, and total crowd engagement. What a great evening of rock by all three bands tonight. Definitely check out this tour if given the chance!
