How do you only play two songs from your brand new album? That's terrible.

[ANattyRat]

I hate this band. Why do they even release new music if they play two songs from it? Oh yeah, they might've added MX, which is awesome, but it should be at the expense of the old songs, not the new songs. Jesus, 11 new songs and we hardly get to hear any of them because they want to carry on playing Rocket Skates, Diamond Eyes, Change, etc. Isn't 16 and six years enough for them to miss them out for a few shows so they play more songs from Gore? They have so many awesome songs from Gore to debut, but nope, why bother?

Least Abe was right (assuming the setlist was right) about them starting to play different songs more. But, you know, not the new album.

Agree completely. They seem to have turned into a studio band and the live shows catering towards nostalgia rather than current material.

They also sounded like trash at that Carolina show. Absolutely terrible vocals.

They did play MX: https://www.instagram.com/p/BFQP7VGo2lR/

Seriously though, can't they get rid of Rocket Skates and the other ones that have been played countless times to make room for some more Gore songs, and more old/rare songs? I hate that they've released an album that most people really love, with lots of awesome songs, and they've basically decided they're going to rotate with four. I'm hoping it changes, but I'm not expecting it to. Best I can hope for is that they play H/W when I see them, since out of the four Gore songs they've played, that's my favourite, and hopefully MX, since I've been dying to hear that.

If they don't play the songs because they can't play it live that's one thing. If they don't play the songs because Chino can't hit the notes, well...he can't pull off most of his vocals anyway, so fuck it, just play the songs. And holy shit, Sergio can't sing. They should stop hanging him out to dry when Chino decided to just not sing.

They all LOVE Acid Hologram so much, play it!

Like, what the fuck were they doing the three weeks off between the album release and these shows? Rehearsing Rocket Skates and MOS and Diamond Eyes?

Don't mean to sound bitter - I'm just disappointed, and not looking forward to a setlist I've heard countless times the last 8 years.

[LG95]

Chino can hit the notes for most stuff if he concentrates, it's not an excuse (and they've often played Passenger in the last six years which he's rarely sang well, so that can't be the reason).

Most probably, they just organised a couple of rehearsal days and then realised they didn't have enough time to nail down the new stuff so just went with whatever. Which is dumb.

Calling bs on Elite closing it.

Elite then Engine #9.

At least finally some rare stuff with MX!

And Rubicon into Elite must have been brutal

These are festival shows, no? Not the album tour.

[sooniletugo]

This was a headline show

This was a headline show

Set list seems rather short for that. Interesting.

Yeah, I don't want to sit here and sound ungrateful, but...I kind of am, haha. I'm glad they played MX, it's one of my favourite songs, and I hope this thing of playing more uncommonly-played songs continues. I remember Abe saying they want to switch up the setlist more. I just wish they'd switch it up more by taking away the songs they've played 100s of times, not by ignoring Gore songs.

[sooniletugo]

At least they played Rubicon, but still, yeah you'd expect more.

[kurtone]

Is this their big summer tour? If so I didn't realize it started already, I was thinking it was in August. Maybe the set is shorter due to them playing amphitheaters? Playing bigger places seems to be a more casual crowd, but I'm not going to hold my breath that even on a proper headline they play a lot of new stuff. Seriously, if you go to these summer shows and you're close enough to the band to hear you, fucking heckle them about the setlist.

[E-Money]

It's pathetic to go out on a headlining gig and only play 2 tracks from your new record. Diamond Eyes and Rocket skates arent that good. They really don't ever need to be played again.. 😑

[sooniletugo]

I love DE and Rocket Skates haha. But I would replace Rosemary with H/W, and ditch Swerve City, Prince and Butcher in favour of new songs.

[vinsanity]

The setlist in Setlist.FM it says they played What Happened to You?

Not sure if serious or just mistaking for another song...

[ANattyRat]

I'm not going to believe that until I hear it. It'd make up for the lack of Gore for them to play a song they've never played before, and MX, but...a never-before-played song from KNY rather than their new album??? That'd be stupid.

[darkomilicic]

They used to love their fans but not anymore, playing 3 really rarely played songs on the 1st night of the headlining tour?? When I see them in August I'm gonna give a piece of my mind 🤘🏼🤘🏼

[jaypayton]

funny how Gore songs already have dropped off the set...guess they realized the album has been getting negative reactions from most fans....
