The Worse Things Than Being Alive Tour at House of Blues Orlando was an electrifying event, showcasing the energy and passion of bands like Bayside, Finch, Armor for Sleep, and Winona Fighter.

Bayside’s performance, fueled by the excitement surrounding their new album, “The Worse Things Than Being Alive,” seems to have been a highlight of the night. Their set, spanning their 20-year career, showcased their journey and evolution as a band with the addition of songs from their latest release adding a fresh dynamic to the experience. I was most excited to hear the new songs live like Go to Hell,” “Castaway,” ‘The Devils,” and my personal favorite “How to Run Everything (Patience).”

The House of Blues Orlando venue, known for its vibrant atmosphere and immersive ambiance, provided the perfect backdrop for such an energetic show. The crowd’s enthusiastic participation, singing along to both old favorites and new tracks, contributed to the electric atmosphere.

The long line at the merch booth upstairs speaks volumes about the dedication of Bayside’s fans, and it’s no surprise considering the band’s passionate following.

It’s heartening to hear that even first-time attendees were swept up in the excitement, highlighting the universal appeal of Bayside’s music and the impact of their live performances.

Overall, The Worse Things Than Being Alive Tour is a must-see for fans across America. See tour dates below and check out The Worse Things Than Being Alive album out now via Hopeless Records.
