The American band conquered Europe with a string of sold-out shows that saw an end in Milan, Italy, last February.
The last gig of the tour began with "Artificial Suicide", a song that left fans confused when they noticed the band was acting up a little... and the confusion grew bigger when a second singer joined the stage. It was later revealed by the band that the ones opening the show had been "Fake Omens", crew members dressed up as the band and taking their place.
As mosh pits formed following a scream from lead vocalist Noah Sebastian, excitement was kept high with the throwback brought on by "Glass Houses", a single from their self-titled 2016 album. It quickly gave way to a slower tune, "The Grey", adding emotion to the night.
As usual during the tour, singer Poppy joined the stage for "V.A.N", the latest collaboration Bad Omens released with their opener. But the surprise came soon after. During "Concrete Jungle", bassist Nicholas Ruffilo and guitarist Joaquim "Jolly" Karlsson stepped down to play their instruments between the barricade and the stage, as singer Noah Sebastian got closer to the fans and sang on top of the barrier. Fans screamed and jumped in glee right before the show came to an end with "Dethrone", one of the heavier songs in their repertoire.
If you wish to catch them on tour, you still have a chance when they head back to Europe for a show with Babymetal in Toulouse, France, on June 23rd, and three more around France and Germany between June and July.
