NORTHLANE IN CONCERT:
Australian metalcore quintet Northlane always hit audiences hard with their incendiary breakdowns and cerebral musicianship in concert. Whether ticket buyers jump into the pandemonium of the mosh pit or observe the musical mastery from afar, the group’s stunning juxtaposition of grace and grit is sure to please on epic throwdowns like “Obelisk”, “Rot”, and “Impulse”. Lead singer Marcus Bridge embodies this duality in each angst-driven anthem as he combines fierce screams and angelic strains that are sure to inspire fans to sing along as well as headbang. True metalcore fanatics won’t want to miss these masters of mayhem as they bring their ferocious sound to cities across North America.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Taking their name from the song “North Lane” by Architects, Sydney’s Northlane have aligned themselves with the history and future of the metalcore movement from the very start. After self-recording their debut EP Hollow Existence in 2010, the group inked a deal with metal label UNFD and released their full-length follow-up Discoveries the next year. After touring with Parkway Drive in 2013 they released their sophomore album Singularity, which rocketed to No. 1 on the Australian iTunes Albums Chart. Unfortunately, just as their star was rising vocalist Adrian Fitipaldes resigned from the band in 2014 due to his declining health. Marcus Bridge stepped in and immediately got to work on their 2015 album Node, which featured more clean vocals and atmospherics than previous albums. Northlane continues to explore the dramatic contrasts of their sound at their live concerts, converting new fans wherever they play.

Great energy overall throughout the whole show, no breaks between songs and filled with a huge variety of sounds. Not what I expected and loved it!!!
I've seen Northlane before, but with their increased success in recent years this show had such a great crowd reaction that it made the experience even better. They really chose their setlist well, had a lot of energy, and even the openers were incredible. Usually you find the crowd to be slow to get into the opening bands but Windwaker was the first to come out and they hit with ALL the energy, its the first show I went to where every band was giving it 1000%, my only regret is I cant go back and time and experience it all again haha
Awesome show from start to finish. Northlane absolutely crushed it. Can’t wait till they come back.
Every band was excellent and we couldn't believe our luck for this line up since we love and have wanted to see all four bands forever. I was particularly impressed with: - Windwaker for bringing headliner energy from the very first song - Invent Animate for their energy and just all around excellent performance. Had no idea what a showman Vik would be - his vocals were flawless, loved his moves and style. - North Lane played all my faves, also had great vocals and stage preserve, and were just on point all around
Fantastic lineup made for a great night. Windwaker, Thornhill, Invent Animate and finally Northlane all had great energy and the crowd was 100% all in.
I saw Northlane in Dallas, Kansas and Denver. I followed them for all 3 shows and it was one of the greatest times of my life. Great Lineup of bands with Windwaker, Thornhill, and Invent Animate. All energetic. I Love you all.
Absolutely amazing show. Great lighting and atmosphere. Live was beyond my imagination
Phenomenal live performance. Was a great experience. Sounded as good as the studio recordings. Definitely planing to see them whenever they come to the US again.
Amazing performance from all involved, Northlane is one of my favorite bands & absolutely killed it live! venue is comfortable & well kept. Drinks were great & the atmosphere is always excellent. Keep doing what you’re doing!
