Zakk Wylde and his Black Label Society visited New England and they definitely left a mark ~ the Society seems to be growing stronger than ever in New England! Joining them on the tour were Sevendust and Dope.

The annual “Music as a Weapon” tour made its stop this year at the Tsongas Arena in Lowell. This year’s headliner is Disturbed ~ but not to be outdone is the impressive cast of supporting bands on this tour including New England’s own Killswitch Engage, Lacuna Coil and Chimaira. I’m glad I made it out of the pit before the wall of death!

It’s not all rock all the time here, we’ve got some emo love for you too! Fall Out Boy brought their “Believers Never Die Part Deux” tour to town with Cobra Starship, Metro Station, All Time Low and Hey Monday.
