Waterparks shows are always something to write home about. The venue was filled with dyed red hair, red stars painted on faces, and colorful outfits. Awsten, Geoff, and Otto started the show off strong with an incredible stage presence, which carried through until the very end. A countless number of crowd surfers floated above the crowd for each song, as well as mosh pits with a very talented fan doing backflips in the middle of it. Awsten’s banter in between songs keeps the crowd alive and at one point he even had everyone take out their phones to Shazam their newest single as to gain some more streams – just to keep the record label happy! The crowd contained people of all ages – all of which were enthusiastically singing along to both the old deep cuts as well as the songs off the new album. If you want to be impressed by a band’s performance and the energy they and their fans bring to a live show, Waterparks is definitely the show to see! Never a dull moment with this band.
