Five Finger Death Punch celebrates their 20 year anniversary at The Xfinity Center in Mansfield, MA with special guests Eva Under Fire and Cody Jinks.
The first band of the evening was Eva Under Fire. They are an American rock band from Detroit, Michigan, that consists of lead vocalist Eva Marie, guitarists Rob Lyberg and Chris Slapnik, bassist Ed Gawlik, and drummer Dave Miller II.
Eva Under Fire delivered a powerful opening performance, proving they are much more than just an opening act. Taking the stage ahead of Five Finger Death Punch, the Detroit-based rock band immediately grabbed the audience’s attention with high-energy performances, heavy guitar riffs, and an unmistakable passion for live music.
Frontwoman Eva Marie commanded the stage from the first song, combining powerhouse vocals with a confident presence that energized fans throughout the amphitheater. Her ability to balance melodic verses with gritty, hard-rock choruses kept the crowd engaged, while the band’s tight musicianship showcased why they continue to build momentum in the modern rock scene.
The set featured a mix of fan favorites and newer material, with songs like “Blow,” “Coming for Blood,” and “Heroin(e)” drawing enthusiastic reactions from both longtime fans and concertgoers experiencing the band for the first time. Even those who arrived primarily for the headliner found themselves cheering, singing along, and applauding after every song.
The Xfinity Center’s expansive outdoor setting amplified the band’s sound, creating a larger-than-life atmosphere. Strong lighting, crisp production, and the band’s nonstop energy made every minute of their performance feel exciting. Between songs, Eva Marie thanked the Mansfield crowd for their support, creating a genuine connection that made the performance feel personal despite the venue’s size.
The next artist of the evening was Cody Jinks. He is an American outlaw country music singer and songwriter. His breakout 2016 album, I’m Not the Devil, reached No. 4 on the Billboard Country Albums chart, while a number of other albums such as Lifers, After the Fire, and The Wanting reached No. 2 on the same chart.
In July 2025, Jinks released In My Blood on his own Late August Records label. Recorded at The Sonic Ranch, the album features a collaboration with Blackberry Smoke’s Charlie Starr. The first single from the album, “Found”, was released on May 2.
Country outlaw Cody Jinks delivered an unforgettable performance, reminding fans why he has become one of the most respected independent artists in modern country music. With a voice full of grit, heartfelt songwriting, and an unwavering commitment to authenticity, Jinks transformed the amphitheater into an evening of singalongs, reflection, and high-energy country rock.
Taking the stage to a roar from the crowd, Jinks wasted no time diving into a set packed with fan favorites. Songs such as “Loud and Heavy,” “Must Be the Whiskey,” “Hippies and Cowboys,” and “Somewhere in the Middle” were met with thunderous applause, as thousands of fans sang every word back to the stage. His unmistakable baritone filled the venue with warmth and power, proving that his live vocals are every bit as compelling as his studio recordings.
Backed by an exceptionally tight band, Jinks blended traditional country, Southern rock, and outlaw influences into a sound that felt both timeless and fresh. Guitar solos were sharp without overshadowing the songs, while the rhythm section provided a driving foundation that kept the audience engaged from beginning to end.
What made the night especially memorable was Jinks’ connection with the audience. Between songs, he spoke with humility and gratitude, thanking fans for supporting independent music and for making every stop on the tour feel like home. Rather than relying on elaborate stage effects, the performance centered on the music itself—a refreshing reminder that great songs and genuine musicianship remain the heart of a great country concert.
The Xfinity Center’s outdoor atmosphere proved to be the perfect backdrop for Jinks’ rugged style. As the sun faded and the lights illuminated the stage, the venue became a sea of raised hands, cowboy hats, and phone lights, creating a memorable scene during some of the evening’s more emotional performances.
By the time the final song ended, it was clear that Cody Jinks had delivered exactly what his fans came to hear: honest storytelling, outstanding musicianship, and a performance rooted in sincerity rather than spectacle. His appearance at the Xfinity Center was more than just another tour stop—it was a celebration of independent country music and the loyal fanbase that has helped him build one of the genre’s most successful careers outside the mainstream.
The final band of the evening was Five Finger Death Punch. They are an American heavy metal band formed in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 2005. The band originally consisted of vocalist Ivan Moody, guitarists Zoltan Bathory and Caleb Andrew Bingham, bassist Matt Snell, and drummer Jeremy Spencer. Bingham was replaced by guitarist Darrell Roberts in 2006, who was then replaced by Jason Hook in 2009. Bassist Matt Snell departed from the band in 2010, and was replaced by Chris Kael in 2011. Spencer then departed the band in 2018 due to recurring back issues, and was replaced by Charlie Engen, making Bathory and Moody the only members to appear on every album. In October 2020, British guitarist Andy James became the band’s lead guitarist, replacing Jason Hook.
Five Finger Death Punch brought their signature blend of heavy riffs, explosive energy, and emotional intensity to the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts, delivering a performance that reminded fans why they remain one of modern metal’s biggest live acts. As part of their anniversary tour, the band shared the bill with Cody Jinks and Eva Under Fire, creating a diverse evening of music that culminated in a hard-hitting headlining set.
From the moment the lights dimmed and the band stormed onto the stage, the atmosphere shifted into high gear. Opening with a barrage of crushing guitar work and thunderous drums, Five Finger Death Punch immediately had the crowd on its feet. Frontman Ivan Moody commanded the stage with confidence, balancing his powerful vocals with heartfelt moments of appreciation for the fans who have supported the band throughout its two-decade career.
The setlist featured many of the band’s biggest hits, including fan favorites that had thousands of concertgoers singing along. Songs like “Jekyll and Hyde,” “Bad Company,” “Wash It All Away,” and “Wrong Side of Heaven” showcased the band’s ability to alternate between aggressive metal anthems and emotionally charged ballads. Each performance was met with roaring applause, raised fists, and a sea of phone lights during the more reflective moments.
Visually, the production matched the music’s intensity. A massive lighting display, towering video screens, bursts of pyrotechnics, and synchronized effects transformed the Xfinity Center stage into a full-scale rock spectacle without distracting from the band’s performance. Every song felt larger than life, and the musicians fed off the crowd’s energy throughout the night.
Backed by a tight, hard-hitting rhythm section and blistering guitar work, the band sounded polished from start to finish. The outdoor acoustics of the Xfinity Center carried the music well across the amphitheater, allowing fans in both the pavilion and lawn to experience the full impact of the performance.
Perhaps the strongest aspect of the concert was the connection between the band and its audience. Moody frequently paused to thank the Mansfield crowd, sharing messages about resilience, unity, and perseverance that resonated with longtime fans. Those personal moments gave added weight to songs that have become anthems for many listeners. Moody also at times threw items to the crowd including pics, bracelets, and keychains and one lucky fan who was singing every word all night received the Baseball bat he performed with.
By the end of the evening, Five Finger Death Punch had delivered exactly what fans came to see, a high-energy metal show packed with powerful musicianship, memorable visuals, and genuine emotion. Their stop at the Xfinity Center was more than just another concert—it was a celebration of the band’s enduring popularity and the loyal community that continues to support them. For both longtime followers and first-time concertgoers, it was an unforgettable night of modern hard rock and metal.
