On Friday, May 1, 2026, Black Veil Brides took the stage for an unforgettable night in Denver, CO at Fillmore Auditorium. Joined by three supporting artists from across the U.S. and the U.K., each band brought its own unique sound and style, turning the concert into a night fans won’t forget.
The first band to perform was As December Falls, a band from Nottingham, UK known for their pop-punk, alternative rock, and post-hardcore sound. They performed songs like ‘Everything’s On Fire But I’m Fine’, ‘Grim Reaper’, and ‘Mayday’. Although many fans were unfamiliar with the band at first, they quickly won over the crowd and left many with a new favorite artist to listen to.
TX2 was the next band to take the stage, bringing their emo and pop-punk sound to the crowd. A local band from Fort Collins, CO, the band kept the audience energized as fans rocked out and moshed throughout the set. They performed songs like ‘Feed’, ‘MAD’, ‘I Would Hate Me Too’, and ‘HOSTAGE’, keeping the momentum high with every track. During the show, the band thanked fans for their support and shared that they had always dreamed of performing for a crowd this large alongside such a talented lineup of artists.
From Ashes To New was the final band to perform before Black Veil Brides, bringing their unique blend of rap metal and alternative metal to the stage. The crowd erupted as the band came out, singing along while fans crowd-surfed and moshed throughout the set. They performed hits like ‘Blackout’, ‘Barely Breathing’, and ‘Through It All’. During the show, the lead singer thanked the audience for their support, telling fans they are a “home away from home” while the band is on tour.
As Black Veil Brides took the stage, fans erupted into screams and chants as the members appeared. Opening the show with explosive energy, the band never slowed down, performing hit after hit alongside unreleased songs from their upcoming album ‘VINDICATE’. They also played fan favorites that had the entire crowd singing along, including ‘Knives and Pens’, ‘Rebel Love Song’, and ‘In The End’, as well as new tracks like ‘Certainty’ and ‘Revenger’. During the show, the band thanked fans for their support and said Denver definitely knows how to bring a crowd. By the end of the night, Black Veil Brides delivered a performance packed with energy, nostalgia, and excitement for what’s next in their new album.
