Screaming fans crowded the Palladium as they waited long hours to see the beloved band All Time Low.
The alternative band All Time Low played in the Palladium in Hollywood on May 3, for their “Future Hearts” Tour. The band, All Time Low, consists of members Jack Barakat (lead guitarist), Alex Gaskarth (lead singer), Zachary Merrick (base), and Rian Dawson (drummer).
The All Time Low concert was general admission and featured opening artists such as State Champs, Tonight Alive, The Issues, and DJ Mark Hoppus. The concert lasted for about four to five hours and had surprise guests such as Vic Fuentes, Mark Hoppus, and Lindsey Stirling.
All Time Low played an excellent concert full of energetic and crowd pleasing songs. They had an outstanding set, acoustics, location complete with lights and an entertaining show, and music all together.
All Time Low had a wonderful set that mixed slow songs like “Therapy” and fast songs like “Reckless and the Brave” perfectly. This kept listeners interested by creating a balance of songs and allowing the audience to listen to a variety of music.
The band also had impeccable acoustics when it came to broadcasting their band in the massive Palladium so that everyone could hear every song. Even with the large size of the venue, their music reached into every corner of the venue which made the concert more fun for listeners. Every guitar strum or drum beat was heard from every fan in the Palladium.
The band also chose a suitable place to hold their concert since the Palladium is massive. The open floor allowed for all the general admission fans to fit into the large room, which made the show more engaging. Having such a large venue created space and comfort for its occupants which created a relaxing environment.
Another thing All Time Low did well was with their use of lighting on the stage. Using different colors such as green, red, and blue, they were able to make the show more exciting. This light show created an engaging atmosphere and added another element of liveliness to the set.
Along with fascinating lights, the band members also did a wonderful job in supplying hilarious commentary in between their songs. From having normal conversations on the stage to including members from the audience, All Time Low never ceased to entertain its listeners. Their humorous jokes combined with the music created feelings of happiness and joy throughout the audience.
All Time Low sounds equally as impressive both in the recording room or on the stage playing live. They are genuinely talented and it was evident that they rehearsed the songs thoroughly. This made the concert more delightful because it made for a better show for their fans.
All Time Low played many songs from their albums “Don’t Panic”, “Dirty Work”, “Nothing Personal”, “So Wrong, It’s Right”, and their newest album, “Future Hearts.” Their alternative style combines with genius lyrics and incredible instruments make their songs fun to listen to and made the concert more entertaining.
All Time Low does not have another “Future Hearts” Tour concert coming to the Los Angeles area anytime soon.
