The stage was set for a night of electrifying rock and metal as fans gathered at Jiffy Lube Live on Wednesday night. The lineup boasted a mix of genres and styles, with Jinjer, Breaking Benjamin, and Disturbed taking the stage resulting in a high-energy, pulse-pounding concert experience that left the crowd exhilarated. The tour kicked off back in April and is set to wrap up September 2nd in Noblesville, IN.

Kicking off the night was the Ukrainian metal band Jinjer, who ignited the stage with their explosive energy and genre-bending sound. Tatiana Shmaylyuk’s captivating vocals ranged from guttural growls to angelic melodies, showcasing her impressive vocal versatility. Jinjer’s setlist featured tracks from their discography, including songs like “Perennial,” “Copycat,” and wrapped up with “As I Boil Ice.”

Following Jinjer’s explosive performance, Breaking Benjamin took the stage, enveloping the crowd in a wave of melodic hard rock. The band’s anthemic choruses and emotionally charged lyrics struck a chord with fans who had been eagerly waiting for their turn. Benjamin Burnley’s vocals resonated throughout the venue, as the band played hits like “Until the End” and “Sooner or Later.” Prior to “Red Cold River” the guys celebrated drummer Shaun Foist’s 40th birthday, getting the crowd to join in on singing “Happy Birthday.” The band’s ability to seamlessly shift between softer ballads and heavier anthems showcased their versatility, keeping the energy high throughout their performance.

Disturbed touring in support of their latest release, Divisive closed out the night. The album has see quite a bit of success on the charts reaching the number one spot on Billboard’s Top Alternative, Top Hard Rock Albums, and number three on Top Rock Albums. The iconic rock band known for their powerful performances and emotionally charged music, took the stage just after nine, and delivered an electrifying concert that left the audience in awe. The stage setup was a spectacle in itself, featuring an elaborate light show and not one tier of pyro but three. Throughout the performance, Draiman’s vocals were nothing short of remarkable. He effortlessly shifted between his signature gritty vocals and melodic harmonies, showcasing his vocal range and control. The connection between Draiman and the audience was undeniable, as fans sang along with every lyric and raised their fists in unison. The setlist was a carefully curated mix of Disturbed’s greatest hits and tracks from their latest album. The band seamlessly transitioned between their heavy, hard-hitting tracks like “Stupify” and “Down With the Sickness,” and their more introspective and emotional songs like Simon & Garfunkel’s cover of “The Sound of Silence.” Each song was met with roaring applause and cheers, illustrating the depth of the band’s impact on their dedicated fanbase. With a dynamic setlist, impressive visuals, and passionate performances, the band proved once again why they hold a special place in the hearts of rock music enthusiasts.
