It has been twenty one long years since the first and last time ever seeing alternative metal go getters Three Days Grace! Way back then it was in West Hollywood at the Troubadour, during their self-titled album debut run. Since then the band has had some line-up changes, reunions, and album releases spanning quite sometime in which now, the band has back in full form and force!
Back in the spring time of 2025, they would announce a co-headlining tour alongside Breaking Benjamin, and now come the fall, spooky season in fact; they would play at the Toyota Arena in Ontario, California on October 6th 2025. Having arrived at the venue a tad late, missing just a few songs, the band would play an extensive set. Not just classic songs, newer songs, but embracing the addition of welcoming back Adam Goniter to the band, alongside other vocalist Matt Walst, both vocalists being a part of other bands Saint Asonia and My Darkest Days.
The parking to get into the venue was closed off from the actual venue due to construction, so alternative parking was put into place, where fans parked, walked over, and by the time they were let in through security, and checked in via their tickets, the arena was completely filled with a sold out audience.
The band was already playing, having missed a few songs, the band would go on to play songs such as "Pain", "Never Too Late", "I Hate Everything About You", "Painkiller", "Mayday", and "The Mountain", a mix of old and new. The audience was into it, singing along, screaming along, shinning their phone lights, it was flawless and so much fun.
THREE DAYS GRACE:
Having not seen the band for so long, tonight's performance was emotional yet heartfelt at times, to hear songs I hadn't heard live in person before. Only seen via online videos, this line up made it work, and the music felt so surreal and alive it was timeless.
