The show started with Young Guns. Their set consisted of tracks from their album fourth album Echoes which was released on September 16, 2016. They are an alternative rock band so it took the crowd a little while to get into them. The crowd wanted to listen to something a little bit more heavy. The crowd just seem to stand there.

The second act of the night was Night Verses. Their post-rock sound picked up the crowd a lot. Everyone was jumping, moshing, and really enjoying the show. At one point the band's vocalist, Douglas Robinson, stage-dove into the crowd and crowd-surfered until the back of the venue. Their set consisted of tracks from their album second album Lift With Your Existence which was released on June 15, 2013.
