Live Review

On May 31st, the Nashville Municipal Auditorium was filled with anticipation as The Used and Pierce the Veil took the stage for their co-headlining tour. The audience was split between the two bands' fanbases, but it was clear that everyone was there for one reason – to have a great time.

Starting the tour off just a week prior with their supports Deathbyrommy and Don Broco, the crowd knew what to expect with their energetic performances.

Pierce the Veil kicked off their set with "Death of an Executioner" and the crowd went wild. Lead singer Vic Fuentes' powerful vocals and the band's energetic performance had everyone on their feet, singing along to every word.

As the set continued, the energy in the room only grew. Fans moshed and crowd-surfed to hits like "Emergency Contact" and "Circles," creating a chaotic but exhilarating atmosphere. Ending their set with what has grown in crazy popularity via tiktok, “King for a day” made the crowd grow wild with head-banging and scream singing.

When The Used took the stage, the crowd was just as hyped up as they were for Pierce the Veil. Bert McCracken's signature voice was in top form as the band launched into "Take It Away," and the fans sang along with every word. The softness of Bert’s voice took over the room as he started singing their classic hit “The Bird and the Worm”. You could feel a shift in the room that was almost emotional before the band shifted into the upbeat tempo of the song, the crowd followed with moshing and singing every word.

As the set continued, The Used played fan favorites like "All That I've Got" and "I Caught Fire," and the crowd sang even louder. Bert's stage presence was magnetic, and he had the audience in the palm of his hand.

When the two bands came together for the encore, the energy was at an all-time high. They performed a cover of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," and the crowd went wild. It was a night of incredible music, and the fans left the Nashville Municipal Auditorium feeling exhilarated and satisfied.
