For English metalcore act Asking Alexandria, years of extensive touring paid off in 2013 when their third album From Death to Destiny debuted at No. 5 on The Billboard 200. Tapped by Korn as a supporting act on their 2013 tour, Asking Alexandria quickly earned a reputation for their amped up live show, resulting in a series of headlining concerts with Sevendust, All That Remains, and others. The band's touring success in 2013 continued an already-successful run on the road ā in 2012, fans clamored for tickets for their sold-out club dates in North America and the U.K., which drew praise for their mosh pit-inducing energy. Asking Alexandria's roots go back to 2003, when guitarist Ben Bruce helmed the group's first incarnation in Dubai. In 2008, Bruce returned home to England and formed an entirely new group, while retaining the Asking Alexandria name. After signing with indie label Sumerian, the band released its debut album Stand Up and Scream in 2009, and followed it up in 2011 with Reckless & Relentless, which peaked at No. 9 on The Billboard 200. Asking Alexandria's current lineup includes Bruce, vocalist Danny Worsnop, guitarist Cameron Liddell, bassist Sam Bettley, and drummer James Casells.
Genuinely one of the best nights of my life! I felt like a teenager again, until I stayed a minute too long in the pit š. Looking forward to seeing them again in the future.
The bands were amazing!! It was so hot and stinky in there they really need some kind of airflow
I knew most of the songs that they played so I had a very good time. It had a good balance of their more heavy songs to their lighter modern songs.
All 4 bands were superb! Love all the bands that played!
I always have a blast when I go to the concerts the people are always great and the music is even better.
Luckily I went to this for memphis may fire they crushed it lots of energy good show. Asking Alexandria super low energy sound check must have failed 1stb2 songs mix was awful. Would not see alAsking Alexandria again.
They put on an amazing show, second opener literally crowd surfed and they played the most amazing songs ever, a mix of old and new stuff. Lead singer is a really funny guy and made inbetween time so entertaining and had a great personality, they sounded amazing
I purchased 3 tickets at last minute my friends bailed I wasnāt going to go but instead decided 2 tickets wasted is better than 3. Met some cool people there enjoyed what I could of the mosh pit. Iām a little old now so itās not as easy. But I definitely found it to be a great time and the bands still rock even to this day. Only improvement I would suggest is put an extra ID checker on the 2nd floor where the beer is. It was a scavenger hunt trying to get a beer then transferring funds cause Applepay isnāt accepted, so I moved stuff around to my discover debit, that also wasnāt accepted, so I went to the atm ā¦ cash also not accepted. Then i found the cash to card guy and he was my final step to getting a drink. Haha good times
Saw AA at the Bluestone in Columbus on 5/1/24. I was so excited to see them as they had cancelled twice previously at Ink and shocked to see they were playing a small venue like the Bluestone. It was definitely sold out but I was not impressedā¦ There were 4 bands on the bill and I donāt know if the sound people just sucked or the acoustics arenāt ideal for a rock show, but they all sounded awful. Couldnāt hear the singers over the music all night unless they were screaming. As for the venue itself, it was beautiful, but thatās about it. It was hot as hell on the floor, up in the balcony, and especially in the bathrooms. $5 for a bottle of water lol and no idea what alcohol cost was because I wasnāt drinking.
Incredible concert! Only dampened by The Word Alive merch guy.
