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!

Probably my 20th time seeing the Acacia Strain and they stole the show. Vincent has a gift for getting the crowd going. My girl came with me who doesn't have anything to do with metal/hardcore and was thoroughly impressed with their performance.

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.

This band is GOATED In my book! Hands down one of the best bands to see live! Haven’t seen them for 9 years! One divorce later I’m getting my face melted off by Vincent and the gang!

Bad ass show! Seeing them for the first time was definitely an experience, was so glad they came to my hometown in such a long time and finally got to see them! Definitely recommend checking them out live you won’t be disappointed! \m/

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!!! 😎🤘🏽
Tampa, FL@The Orpheum
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.
Springfield, MO@Outland Ballroom
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.
