A Day To Remember is currently in the final stretch of their Raisin' Hell In The Heartland Tour with Knocked Loose and Boston Manor, and all remaining shows are SOLD OUT. One of those sold out shows was in Raleigh this past Thursday, and what an absolutely killer show it was.
It's been quite a long time since A Day To Remember has been through North Carolina, and even longer since they played a Raleigh venue. With such a long wait for many fans to see the band in Raleigh again or for the first time for many, this show was one of the first on the tour to actually sell out.
It also helps to have incredible supporting bands on the tour. Boston Manor kicked off the show with their pop-punk/alternative style from the UK, and then Knocked Loose brought complete chaos with their aggressive and heavy jams.

Both of the opening bands exhibit the two sides of A Day To Remember, so they were a perfect fit to open the show. The central Florida band is known for their unique blend of pop-punk and heavy music, and at one point they were even referred to as 'pop-mosh'. The Raisin' Hell In The Heartland Tour comes at a time when ADTR has no new music (except the recently released collab with Marshmello), so there was no new music to show off which made room for all the hits.
With the hits, the band always brings a show. If you're in attendance at any A Day To Remember show you can expect shenanigans on stage between band members, confetti, toilet paper rolls being thrown around, free tshirts being shot out, beach balls, and maybe the occasional game of crowd surfer surfing.
