PIERCE THE VEIL TEAR THE FORUM’S THROAT OUT ON NIGHT ONE
If you walked into the Kia Forum expecting a warm-up, you got a throat punch instead.
Night one of Pierce the Veil’s I Can’t Hear You World Tour was not about easing into anything—it was about total, unapologetic domination. The Forum, packed to the rafters, roared like a beast coming to life. This was no crowd—it was a choir of chaos, and the energy was volcanic before a single chord rang out.
Beach Weather opened the night with smooth, polished alt-pop vibes—a brief calm before the sonic wreckage to come. Their set was tight and moody, giving just enough room for the tension in the room to start building.
Sleeping with Sirens took that tension and tore it open. Kellin Quinn’s signature vocals sliced through the venue like a blade, igniting pits and sending a wave of nostalgic fury through the crowd. Their set was a well-oiled riot.
But when Pierce the Veil hit the stage, the whole damn place shifted.
It wasn’t the first note that hit hardest—it was the silence right before it, heavy with the weight of everything about to come undone. Vic Fuentes stalked the stage like he was dragging ghosts behind him, backed by a sonic assault of lights, screams, and massive riffs. Every song hit like a shotgun blast—calculated, emotional, explosive. Crowd surfers were constant. The pit was relentless. Every word screamed back at the band felt like a personal exorcism.
For me, this wasn’t just another shoot. It was my first inside the legendary Kia Forum. It felt like stepping into the deep end with concrete shoes—and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. Through my lens, it was beautiful chaos: hands reaching, eyes closed, sweat flying, connection in every frame.
If I Can’t Hear You is a threat, consider it delivered. Pierce the Veil left no room for doubt—they’re not just back. They’re a problem.
