UNDEROATH: THE VAN TOUR TO VANS WARPED TOUR

Underoath brings a volatile yet tuneful charge to the stage, turning creative friction into songs that connect on a grand scale. The band consistently chooses challenge over comfort, a path reflected in two gold records and three Grammy nominations. Their catalog blends abrasion, atmosphere, and melody, and Define the Great Line debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, a rare feat for a record this heavy. Their live presence spans intimate rooms to tours with Alice In Chains and Bring Me The Horizon, along with stints on the Vans Warped Tour. Recent chapters highlight the same restlessness. Erase Me reintroduced the group with direct riffs and big hooks, while Voyeurist delivered high definition ferocity and was named one of Revolver’s 25 best albums of 2022 alongside releases from Slipknot, Ghost, and Meshuggah. LET GO signals another forward step, pairing towering choruses with inventive weight. Onstage they occupy the space between massive hooks and boundary-pushing heaviness, channeling vulnerability with a cinematic sweep.

NEW MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT! Trash Panda Community Market

Trash Panda Community Market is a new gathering at the Pine Forest Charter events area in Flagstaff that gives neighbors a simple way to sell, swap, and share. A $5 donation lets you set up a table for a mini yard sale, art display, or resale rack, and those funds go directly to support Pine Forest Charter School. With roughly half of local households renting and many apartments restricting yard sales, this market offers a convenient place to pass along items you no longer need. Bring clothing, handmade pieces, secondhand finds, and anything you think deserves a new home. Participants are asked to pack out everything they bring, pick up litter even if it is not theirs, leave their spot better than they found it, and treat the venue, fellow participants, and the mission with respect. The focus is simple, create space for those who do not have one, support a local school, and keep usable goods out of the landfill. If you have ever wished you could host a yard sale, this is your chance.

Ticket prices are the same at the box office and online. A full bar is offered, and outside food or drinks are not permitted.
