While many music fans have made their way out to a show or 5 since tours resumed as we are still trying to make it out of this pandemic, there are still some fans that have not yet been able to make it to a show. And there are bands that are taking the time to acknowledge that at their shows and showing gratitude to the fans that are able to make it out and supporting them. 10 Years made sure to let fans know that on Saturday, April 9th as they headlined Chain Reaction in Anaheim, California. The hard rock group was joined by post-hardcore bands, Black Map (featuring members of Dredg and Far), who just released a new album titled Meladoria, and VRSTY, a quartet out of New York. The venue was packed early on and the reason is simple. It’s a stacked lineup! Every band brought their energy and so did the fans! Even though it was an older crowd (most people looked to be in their 40s), age didn’t stop fans from crowdsurfing as we eventually saw some of that during 10 Years’ set.
The bands are wrapping up the tour this week. For remaining tour dates and tickets, you can head on over to 10yearsmusic.com. While this current lineup won’t have anymore dates after this, it’s all the more reason to keep up with each band to see them next time they hit your town!
