Just like their name suggests, 'New Found Glory' are still envisioning new glorious ways to delight their fans, after 20 years in the music industry things can get stale but not for 'NFG' as they put a new spin on a nationwide tour. From the screen to the stage is the title of the tour and brings together hits from their back catalog as well as hits from movies we all know and love.
A big blockbuster line up supports the heavy hitters on this tour, 'Jettybones' opens the show with their fresh sound and worthy of feature act as they develop a back catalogue. Next up was personal favorites, 'Free Throw' delivering a rowdy set from their new album which dropped this month, Nov 2019. The passion shines through the record and their live show as they punch out songs from the heart. On this record they brought things back home, "we have struggled personally with mental health issues and have laid a lot out on the line in this revealing record", says lead vocal and guitarist, Cory. They connect with the audience on a sonic level screaming their sorrows aloud, think 'The Swellers' meets 'State Champs'.
Main support is a band who know Madison well, 'Hawthorn Heights' having record their first album in this city they have grew a grand following from across the world. They play a solid set worthy of any sold out crowd, full of hope and sing alongs, a perfect warm up for pop-punk champions, 'New Found Glory'.
Bursting out on to the stage with movie theme music gets the party started. The 20th century Fox fan fair plays before they bust out into a hit filled set. Cover songs come in the form of, 'Let It Go' from 'Frozen' to 'Accidentally In Love' from 'Shrek' plus many more including costume changes from lead man Chad, even with a broken wrist he projected himself across the stage like a lima at a banana buffet. Another surprise came from a touring guitarist on stage, it just happened to be Ryan lead man of classic band 'Yellowcard', while the band have gone their separate ways, Ryan has not rested being a touring 'NFG' member and producer for new acts. 'NFG' delivered a blockbuster night at this sold out extravaganza, full of highs and more bigger highs. The whole sold out tour shows why this band are still going strong at over 20 years old they still feel fresh as tomorrow.
