After delaying their tour due to “personal issues beyond control,” Fall Out Boy and friends finally kicked off the Honda Civic Tour at the Coors Amphitheater last Friday.
Fans trickled in around 6 p.m. to watch Cobra Starship open the show.
Paul Wall was next on stage and mixed up the entire pop-punk set by being the only rapper on the tour.
He really got the crowd moving by playing his hit collaboration with Nelly, “Grillz.”
The song was well received as the audience leapt off their seats on the amphitheater lawn in order to dance to his hip hop beats.
The Academy Is brought back the rock when they took the stage.
Lead singer William Beckett’s lanky figure wove across the stage as he sang songs from the latest Academy Is release Santi.
The album was released a mere month ago.
While they played new songs such as “We’ve Got a Big Mess on our Hands,” they also included fan favorites like “Black Mamba” and “Checkmarks.”
Up next was +44, a band everyone was excited to finally see.
As members of Blink-182, Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus made history with a series of hit albums.
Their music served as inspiration to the bands they are currently on tour with, including the headliners.
Now reunited, Barker and Hoppus perform as +44, and fans were thrilled to see the duo once again.
The screams were deafening the moment they were spotted coming on to the stage.
The excited crowd had a chance to enjoy songs from their debut CD, which includes the hits “When Your Heart Stops Beating” and “155.”
Fans were delighted to see Barker and Hoppus reunited but could not wait to see Fall Out Boy.
As thousands of fans hollered to see the headliners of the show, the stage was being set for a grand entrance.
Three enormous television screens were revealed and began displaying amazing digital artwork.
The overture for the night began as the TV screens revealed an opening sequence for the next lineup.
Suddenly, Fall Out Boy exploded onto the stage.
The band played a variety of songs from new and old albums and made sure none of the group’s hit singles were left unsung.
Memorable moments included their cover of Michael Jackson’s hit “Beat it,” which forced singer Patrick Stump to sing at an incredibly high pitch, but it was pulled off well.
The night ended with “Dance, Dance,” which had celebrity bassist Pete Wentz and guitarist Joe Trohman perform in the middle of the crowd.
Shocked fans immediately rushed to the middle of the arena to get a closer look at their favorite band.
As the band left the stage, thousands of confetti strips flew threw the air and spread across the grass.
Eager fans picked up pieces to keep as souvenirs as they exited the show.
The combination of great bands made the show worthwhile.
Ex-Blink-182 members playing alongside Fall Out Boy was a sight to be seen.
