Some tours feel massive before you even walk through the doors, and The Amonklok Conquest Tour absolutely had that feeling hanging over The Battery all night. Long lines wrapped around the Coca-Cola Roxy before doors, battle jackets everywhere, and a crowd that was clearly there for the full experience from start to finish. Between Viking metal, animated chaos, and medieval doom theatrics, this lineup never really slowed down once the lights dropped.

There are certain tours that instantly transport you back to a very specific point in your life the second they get announced, and Yellowcard bringing New Found Glory and Plain White T’s out on the “Up Up Down Down Tour” definitely felt like one of those moments. The lineup alone had the Coca-Cola Roxy packed early before the first band even touched the stage, with fans showing up ready to relive an entire era of pop-punk that shaped a lot of people’s teenage years.

There are very few bands capable of turning a concert into something that feels more like a twisted theatrical production than a traditional metal show, but that’s exactly what Avatar delivered when the “Don’t Go In The Forest Tour” stopped at the Tabernacle in Atlanta on May 5th.

UK heavy innovators Loathe are heading back to North America this fall with their newly announced “A Stranger To You” Tour, bringing along support from Fleshwater and Prostitute.

Some shows carry history whether you plan on it or not. The first time I saw Lacuna Coil was back in 2003 when they opened for Type O Negative at the old Masquerade.

Coming into the current Masquerade in 2026, the space is different, but the connection to those earlier shows is still there, especially when a band like this comes through.
