Chevelle storms into MGM Music Hall at Fenway tonight, with special guests Asking Alexandria and Dead Poets Society, releasing two decades of music.
The first band of the evening was American rock band formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 2013, Dead Poets Society. They were formed by Jack Underkofler (vocals, guitar), Jack Collins (guitar), Nick Taylor (bass guitar) and Will Goodroad (drums). Dylan Brenner replaced Nick Taylor on bass in 2019.
Dead Poet Society delivered a blistering performance that showcased why they’re quickly becoming one of the most exciting modern rock bands on the scene. From the moment they hit the stage, the band’s mix of raw energy, emotional grit, and razor-sharp musicianship captivated the crowd.
The setlist was a perfect balance of fan favorites and newer tracks, keeping longtime supporters engaged while winning over anyone hearing them live for the first time. Songs like “.CoDA” and “In Too Deep” hit hard with crushing riffs, while slower, more atmospheric moments let the band’s artistry and vulnerability shine.
Between songs, Underkofler spoke with sincerity, reflecting on their journey and encouraging fans to embrace authenticity and resilience. The crowd responded with passionate singalongs and an electric energy that never let up.
By the end of their set, Dead Poet Society proved they’re not just a band to watch—they’re a band destined to lead the next wave of alternative rock. Their live show is a perfect storm of passion, power, and honesty, leaving fans buzzing long after the final note.
The next band of the evening was English rock band, Asking Alexandria, formed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates before relocating to York, North Yorkshire. The band’s current line-up is composed of guitarist Cameron Liddell, drummer James Cassells, vocalist Danny Worsnop, and bassist Sam Bettley.
From the very first breakdown, the energy inside the venue was explosive, fueled by pounding riffs, screams, and massive sing-along choruses that had the crowd on their feet from start to finish.
Frontman Danny Worsnop commanded the stage with his trademark versatility, effortlessly moving between soaring clean vocals and harsh screams. His charisma and connection with the audience gave the night a personal edge, whether he was rallying the pit into chaos or sharing a heartfelt moment between songs.
The setlist highlighted the band’s evolution, weaving together crushing anthems from their early years like “The Final Episode” with newer, more melodic tracks such as “Alone In A Room”. This balance satisfied die-hard fans craving that original intensity while showcasing their growth as songwriters. Every song hit with precision, and the crowd roared every lyric back at them, creating a wall of sound that matched the band’s intensity.
By the time the final encore closed the night, Asking Alexandria had proven once again why they remain one of the most influential and resilient bands in heavy music. It was more than just a concert—it was an adrenaline-fueled celebration of music, survival, and connection.
The final band of the evening was American rock band formed in Grayslake, Illinois, in 1995, Chevelle. The band was originally composed of two brothers, Pete Loeffler (lead vocals and guitar) and Sam Loeffler (drums and percussion), along with Matt Scott (bass and backing vocals).
Chevelle delivered a powerhouse performance that reminded everyone why they’ve been a cornerstone of modern hard rock for over two decades. The trio—Pete Loeffler, Sam Loeffler, and Dean Bernardini—took the stage with zero theatrics, letting the music’s sheer weight and atmosphere speak for itself.
From the opening riff, the sound was massive. Pete’s brooding vocals and crushing guitar tone cut through the venue with surgical precision. Their chemistry was undeniable, honed by years of playing together, and every transition felt razor-tight.
The setlist spanned their career, pulling in early favorites like “The Red” and “Send the Pain Below” alongside newer standouts such as “Self Destructor.” The mix of nostalgia and fresh material kept longtime fans engaged while proving that Chevelle still has plenty of creative fire. The crowd erupted during every chorus, singing back with an intensity that matched the band’s dark, driving energy.
What stood out most was the atmosphere Chevelle created—moody, heavy, and immersive. Their stage presence allowed fans to sink into the music without distraction, and the band’s focus on precision over spectacle gave the night a raw authenticity.
By the time they closed with the crushing finale of “I Get It,” and “Mars Simula,” the crowd was left buzzing, ears ringing, and fully satisfied. Chevelle doesn’t need gimmicks—their sound alone is enough to level a room, and this concert was proof of their enduring power in the rock world.
