The “Back to the 2000s Tour” has been going strong in the US territories, taking people back to the good old days of nu metal and alternative metal/rock and Ozzfest with stellar shows from The Union Underground, SOiL, Ra and Flaw! We caught the stop at Piere’s in Fort Wayne, IN!

Nonpoint, one of our photographers’ favorite bands to see live, made a stop at The Eclectic Room in Angola, Indiana on their “The Milliion Watts Tour 2023” and with the help of (hed)pe, Sumo Cyco and VRSTY turned the night in an absolute barn burner!

Drowning Pool, Salive, Adelitas Way and Any Given Sin are touring the US with “The SNAFU tour” and we got to enjoy a great night of American metal/rock in Fort Wayne, Indiana!
