The Fall of Ideals 15th Anniversary Tour
All that Remains has been celebrating the 15th year of their 2006 breakthrough album The Fall Of Ideals, kicking off on March 12th in Worcester, Massachusetts, and running through May 20th in Hartford, Connecticut. This extensive tour will be showcasing Miss May I, Varials, and Tallah as support.
The night kicked off with Tallah and Varials. With the crowd starting off low energy and the room filled, energies quickly picked up as the screams got louder and the music heavier with a mosh pit area being designated early in the night toward the back of the GA area. A mosh pit that only got crazier as the night went on. In full swing as Miss May I came on, the crowd was ready to scream along to the newest album- Unconquered, with a sprinkle of oldies. Energies couldn't have been higher as All That Remains hit the stage. Unfortunately, Phil Labonte became violently ill with a stomach bug and was unable to perform. This was a shock to the crowd as Labonte shared an instagram post earlier that night offering regrets and announcing that he would be replaced that night. Alluding that fans and other band members would be filling in for the night. Members Justin from Tallah, Mitch from Variels, and Ryan from Miss May I helped with 6 total songs. The rest of the night was put on karaoke style by fans, shout out to Mike, Mark V, Rolly, J Jordan, and Laura. Even with impromptu vocalists the show went on with the crowd screaming and moshing till the end.
