EVERYBODY WANTS TURNS 10: THE STRUTS BRING THE ALBUM TO LIFE IN LOS ANGELES

Oct 10

The Struts ignited The Wiltern with a night built on glitter, grit, and celebration, marking the 10th anniversary of their debut record Everybody Wants. Fans filled every corner of the historic theater, the anticipation in the air making it clear this wasn’t just another tour stop—it was an occasion charged with excitement and energy from start to finish.

Luke Spiller commanded the stage with magnetic charisma, his flamboyant style and booming voice cutting through the roar of the crowd. The band’s performance radiated confidence, with dazzling lights and bold theatrics transforming the venue into a glam-rock carnival. Everywhere you looked, people were on their feet, clapping, dancing, and shouting along in unison, creating a communal sense of celebration that rarely happens outside of nights like these.

Hearing Everybody Wants performed front to back gave fans the rare chance to experience the album in its entirety. Anthems like “Could Have Been Me” and “Kiss This” turned the theater into a massive singalong, while deeper tracks such as “Black Swan” showcased the strength of the band’s early songwriting. Each song landed with the same fire and urgency as the day it was released, making the performance feel immediate and alive.

Rather than feeling like just an anniversary, the evening unfolded as a true milestone event. The Wiltern’s art deco backdrop amplified the spectacle, giving the night an almost cinematic quality. Fans fed off the band’s infectious energy, and in turn, the musicians seemed fueled by the passion coming from the floor to the balcony. By the time the final bows were taken, the theater was drenched in sweat, smiles, and applause—a perfect reflection of ten years’ worth of impact and the promise of more to come.

The evening was more than a performance—it was proof of The Struts’ ability to turn a concert into an unforgettable gathering. Ten years in, their flame burns brighter than ever, and at The Wiltern, they showed exactly why their connection with fans continues to grow stronger with time.
