Wound up getting tickets two days ago for this one, should be a decent show. I used to really really like Filter and for some reason i have not listened to them (before now) for years now so that should be cool.

Literally THE worst crowd I've ever seen. Gavin still sounds awesome, but the crowd ruined it. Out of 3000 fans, 1000 stiff, 50+ year olds took the front and wouldn't let anyone pass..

Just terrible. I made my way over to literally the only other person who was jumping or fist pumping. 5 Karen's pushed me out right away saying they couldn't see and told me they waited in that spot for 2 hours and to go back to my original spot.

I've never experienced such a geriatric, terrible crowd in my life, and I've been to every 90's band out there where the crowd still has fun.

[jayswin]

Gavin is giving looks and comments to the crowd trying to get them going and nothing is working on these losers.

[jayswin]

Hahaha, awesoe performance by Bush, worst crowd I've ever seen, caught three eye rolls from the band, lol. Everyone just stood there giving absolutely nothing to the atmosphere.

We got two head nods and smiles from Gavin when we finally pushed our way to the front and jumped around. The band loved it.

[Russic]

Bush put on a great show, I was super impressed. Sadly, my body doesn't jump like it used to. Or much at all, really.

Add Papa Roach to the list of bands from the 90s I didn’t think could headline the dome but are in 2025

This is our last resort.

Now I'm lucky if I know one band and this year it's Simple Plan. Saw them open for The Offspring a couple years ago and they put on a great show.

I know. It's sad to see the line ups these days for stampede and just hoping to recognize a couple of artists.

It's like how I didn't know Tate McRae was a thing until that All Star game even though she's from Calgary and already had millions of followers in the states.

I feel like Jon Snow.

I'm also irrationally dismissive of all these gen-z artists and assume they suck. When you realize you've become your parents..

Anyone go to Volbeat with Three days Grace at the Saddledome? What a great show.

[Engine09]

Ugh, I despise Volbeat. Cheeseball European buttrock with a dash of rockabilly just to be confusing and crappy at the same time. Only Godsmack and 5 Finger Deathpunch are worse.

[Cecil Terwilliger]

A friend of mine went and really enjoyed three days Grace. Said they did not enjoy volbeat all that much. And from the sounds of it a decent amount of the crowd left when they came on.

Not really. If anything there was more people in the concourse milling about during three days grace and then fully packed when volbeat came on.

[jayswin]

Both were awesome, imo
.

How was the attendance in the Dome for this concert? I saw Voltbeat a few years back in the Grey Eagle Casino so kind of surprised they could fill a large arena.

There was a few hundred left on ticketmaster at the top of the second tier before the show. Id say about 12500 in attendance, it was packed. Probably a combination of the two bands. It was billed as a double headliner show.

That's pretty good. I'm surprised they could sell that many tickets although TDG was pretty mainstream a few decades back. I saw Saint Asonia open for Disturbed a few years back and they played a lot of TDG so I wasn't feeling the urge to go to this one as I've not really loved Voltbeat's latest stuff.

Did they play Superman? That's a banger.
