On May 4, 2018, my husband and I traveled north to Cincinnati to go to an awesome metal/ rock concert. The lineup included In This Moment, Halestorm, New Year’s Day and Stitched Up Heart. This was such a great show! Words alone cannot describe it. It was full of women empowerment and energy!

All of the bands had female lead singers. Even though there were men in the bands, the women stole the show. For example, in Halestorm, Lzzy Hale has her brother to be the drummer. Many of the songs sang by the bands also expressed power, strength, and empowerment. These songs were anthems!
The crowd was so into it as well. We were all singing along and feeling the music. There was dancing. It was a lot to take in as well.
It was not just the music. There was plenty of theatrics and it was more like an experience. Especially when it comes to Maria Brink and In This Moment. There were lights, dancers, and plenty of movement. She is definitely the metal Lady Gaga. The costumes she has are always stunning as well. Hard to believe she is in her 40s.

All of the bands were great. It was definitely a worthwhile experience. We listen to all of the bands now. It is crazy to think that we only went for Halestorm and In This Moment.
We loved seeing the show and will definitely go back to another concert with these bands. We will definitely go back to the PNC Pavillion as well.

I've not had the opportunity to go to a Halestorm concert yet, but I'm so glad you did! It looks like you had an amazing time!!
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend it! Blaring in the car vs. live....totally different experiences. You'll never know what they will sing as covers either! When Lzzy Hale covered Adele, I surprisingly liked it better than the Adele version.
DeleteLooks like a fun concert! Bonus that it was so empowering!
ReplyDeletebeen listening to halestorm for years but haven't seen a show yet!
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely worth it. Do it when you can.
DeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the concert so much. It is always a bonus when you end up liking all the bands!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! I also love finding smaller bands before they get famous. It is like finding something cool before everyone else.
DeleteLooks like a great concert! Love that it was female lead bands! Women rocking it out!
