The Acacia Strain

I haven't been to Irving Plaza since the 2010s. The updates on the venue are pretty cool since I only remember the space. They did a good job on keeping a venue up to date. It was super long since I seen The Acacia Strain as well. Last time, I saw them was way before Webster Hall has updates. But their set was dope and nostalgic. Good times. Bodysnatcher always makes people want to do their thing. Same for Ingrown. Legends in the making. No Cure as well. They got things happening for them. And lastly, Tribal Gaze was pretty cool. I really liked their set. Very groovy and rhythm vibes that you can dance to as how music should make you feel. I slept on them and they definitely woke me the f up -insert laughter here-. Be sure to support the bands and the venue as well. Leave your comments. Share it around. Do your own Reviews as well.

Always a banger, Vince keeps getting better. I know they played a lot of their music but they had a good mix of older songs. Also, Ingrown and Bodysnatcher were great support. They both came out and supported Acacia Strain during their set. Was just nice to see.

Long time listener, first concert believe it or not. Really started to connect with their latest 2 albums over the last couple years and seeing them live while traveling abroad was fantastic. Really appreciate the energy and message they bring to the scene. Cant wait to see them again in the states! \m/

I love The Acacia Strain. This show was something different but I still had a good time! It’s nice to change the vibe up every now and again. They also have a sick merch lineup this tour. Make sure you snag some of the merch because it’s going fast and they’re sold out of most everything in a size small haha!

I had never listened to Dying Wish prior to this gig, they were bloody awesome. Acacia Strain was amazing. They really know how to amp a crowd up. The Barwon Club is a great venue, it got hot and sweaty in the pit!! Would definitely go again!

The Acacia Strain is one of the rowdiest bands I've ever seen. They are from Chicopee, MA so this was like a hometown performance. The lead singer was fully representing a fellow Boston metal band by wearing a Fuming Mouth sweatshirt. The concert was metal and chaos from the first chord. The Paradise was non-stop stage dives after The Acacia Strain gave the fans the go-ahead. It was an incredible concert with a line-up of powerhouse bands. You had be ready for anything without a railing but it made the show unforgettable. I've seen them twice now and survived both performances. This is a band that feeds off the crowd and gives them everything.

Absolutely incredible show from the first second to the last. Nonstop energy and aggression in a venue that was seemingly built for a close and intimate show. The mosh pit was insane, the crowd was eating up the music and the bands were very interactive. Best experience I've ever had live.

This show was the HEAVIEST damn TAS show I’ve been too in years. Even Vincent said “We’ve been a band for a long fucking time, and we’ve played MANY Chicago shows before, but I’ve NEVER played a Chicago show like this before! Holy shit! Thank you guys so much!” Those mosh pits were on point. Shit was 🔥🔥🔥

The Acacia Strain was the loudest, hardest, craziest show I've ever been to. I know this was a hometown performance for them, but I got the feeling they see this energy from fans anywhere they go. I thought the roof was going to blow off the place.

The Acacia Strain is a dastardly wicked band. A long time ago a friend of mine said that having a set that consists of 35-45 minutes of mosh songs just wasn’t good. I beg to differ. People mosh to the opening into of the beast before 1 guitar riff even hits and goes all the way til the last guitar riff in carbomb. Truly wild.

The acacia strain is my favorite band of all time they are goat. They saved my life I love thier music and you will not meet nicer guys than them. I rarely miss one of thier shows. The other bands were amazing as well.

So rad! Every band right from the opening act murdered! And when the Acacia strain came on everyone went wild. Such a great time. Audience energy was there and the bands were just high octane fuel for everyone to keep going. Can't wait to see these guys again

Acacia Strain sounds like they're in their prime right now. Absolutely insane set. The way Vincent talked about positivity, being kind to one another, and bringing awareness to abuse in relationships etc was so amazing too. They really helped bring everyone together. Won't forget that show.

The Acacia Strain is more than just a simple metal concert but a crazy, in your face experience. In Massachusetts they are at their best. If you're a fan then you scream all the words back at Vincent as you mosh, stage dive and just have a good time. This night showcased Wormwood and even had them play, Doctor Doom and Whoa! Shut It Down which had been a while for a long-term fan like myself. I give them 5 stars but know that they deserve more!

Always a pleasure to witness the legendary Strain!! Thank you guys, Florida loves you dudes straight up we appreciate the hydration, Happy Bday again Dev and I hope you got that pumpkin pie big dog if not we got you on the rebound word up!!! 😎🤘🏽

This was a show for long time fans because the band was playing an album that is 10 years old. The worst part was when Vincent admitted he didn't know what he was thinking when he wrote the lyrics, that he was a different person today. To me that takes away from the sentiment and reason to play those songs. The energy was high and the band was tight. After playing Continent they did play Jonestown and a couple more favorites. TAS was the best band of the night!

The Acacia Strain always put on a perfect show, and getting to see them on their 10 year anniversary tour, along with fellow outstanding bands like Oceano, Knocked Loose and Culture Killer was a great experience. I'll always recommend catching these guys when they tour around.

All the bands were amazing! But a lot of the people in the crowd were really annoying and they just wanted to hit someone because they thought it was fun, so it made the show a lot less enjoyable, but still the bands were fantastic!

I went for Acacia Strain (7th time) and they killed. I never get tired of Vincent's brutality and his bleak outlook. With there not being a barricade fans got to sing into the mic as Vincent put it out into the crowd. If you've never seen them live, do it, but beware they have some of the most devastating hate pits out there.

I only went to this show for The Acacia Strain, and the singer Vincent Bennett pulled me on stage to sing the second chores in the song The Beast...A memory I will take to my eternal grave, with a smile on my face.
