In 2005, the band Chiodos released an album titled All’s Well That Ends Well. Twenty years later, Craig Owens brings the album out of retirement for a tour celebrating the twentieth birthday of the album. You can’t celebrate an album like that without an incredible cast, and this tour lineup did not disappoint. Opening the show was The Callous Daoboys, Emmure, and Hawthorne Heights.
The night was filled with four incredible sets, with every band keeping the energy high throughout the night. I had been a fan of the Daoboys for a while, and this was my first opportunity seeing them play live. Emmure brought the classic metalcore feel, bringing the crowd to another level. Hawthorne Heights was a perfect band before the headliner. This is a band I’ve seen quite a few times in person, and they are always a fun band to see.
Chiodos ended the night, playing through the tracks of the album. Hearing some of these old tracks live was something I thought I’d never see, so it was a very exciting night. Due to the sold out nature of the show, I was limited to only one song in the photo pit for their set. However, I still got to enjoy the show from the balcony once I was finished.
