What a Hot Show!
by Miss Mandy! on 7/31/25PNC Music Pavilion - CharlotteRating: 5 out of 5The Summer of Loud show was definitely loud, as promised! Temperatures that day reached the hottest so far this year. I don't know how the bands were handling it, with all the fire effects onstage, but they each made sure to remind concert goers to be mindful. Beartooth is our favorite band to see live and I'm glad we braved the heat to make this concert. I want to thank the Staff and Medics for their patience, responsiveness, and consideration for patrons who got overheated. Aside from the heat, the concert itself was outstanding. Sound, Lighting and Pyro were top-notch. I truly believe every band on this tour respects and appreciates their fans. I loved the messages of unity and creating a better world from Killswitch Engage. Parkway Drive actually stopped their set to assist someone up front and remind us all to breathe and hydrate. Beartooth put on a phenomenal show, as always. I adore their strong guitar and vocal harmonies. They have one of the baddest drummers in the land and a front man who embodies equal parts power and authenticity. It is so refreshing to see a high-energy group delivering a message of facing your struggles and finding your better self. Though I think we all would have loved "One More Song,"we thoroughly enjoyed the singalong aspect of their set and it was a perfect way to end the evening.
