Following the release of their 2025 album “Everyone’s Talking,” iconic pop-punk band All Time Low was slated to perform at Bradley’s Renaissance Coliseum in April. After postponing the show to the next semester, the band took the stage on Oct. 22.
Even after more than two decades, the band hasn’t lost a step.
The night opened with an electric performance from supporting act Veaux, a Nashville-based alt-rock trio. The group played a tight, energetic 45 minutes that stayed engaging from the first guitar strum to the final cymbal crash. They perfectly set the stage for the main event.
When All Time Low did venture on, they opened with “Suckerpunch,” one of their biggest hits off the new album. The synchronized drum and guitar punches sound even better live, and it’s a perfect gateway into the rest of the concert.
The band then went through a few older hits, like “Weightless” and “Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don’t),” before returning to the new songs with “Falling for Strangers.” Here, the band’s layered vocals hit a new height, adding a dimension to their already dynamic sound.
Next, “Time-Bomb” was another return to the classics, with a grinding opening riff and one of All Time Low’s catchiest hooks. 15 years after release, the track still hits hard as ever.
“Backseat Serenade” kept the heavy guitar sounds coming, with one of the band’s grimiest-sounding songs, highlighted by Alexander Gaskarth’s phenomenal vocal performance.
The next three tracks, “Sleeping In,” “Something’s Gotta Give” and “The Weather,” all got their time in the sun, but they felt like a preamble for an absolutely generational final six tracks.
The run began with the night’s biggest and best surprise. “Cigarettes and Sabotage,” one of the most underrated songs on “Everyone’s Talking,” was a showstopper, and not one I was expecting to hear. It’s one of the best choruses on the record, and that didn’t change live.
Next, Gaskarth played “Remembering Sunday” alone on his acoustic guitar while the rest of the band left the stage.
Across the arena, phones lit up as Gaskarth delivered the most vulnerable performance of the show.
When the band returned, they did so with a fervor. Lead guitarist Jack Barakat said “Lost in Stereo” was his favorite song to play live.
You can tell.
This song might be the biggest jump in quality from studio to live, and it was already great in the studio. “Lost in Stereo” is comfortably All Time Low’s best live song. It combines Gaskarth’s brilliant vocals with Barakat’s incessant riffs, all backed by Rian Dawson’s absurd drumming.
“Sleepwalking” and “Monsters” followed a similar pattern. Both have moments where the drums and guitars sync up in the chorus; both have transcendent performances from Gaskarth, both brought the house down.
But of course, only one could be the closer.
“Dear Maria, Count Me In” is almost as old as me, but it has never lost its luster. The crowd certainly didn’t think so either, singing along to every word.
The song was a triumphant finale to a fantastic show that fans of All Time Low have come to expect. The band is aging like fine wine, and their live performances of new songs only prove it.
At the end of their “Everyone’s Talking” tour, fans can feel confident knowing that despite their longevity, All Time Low still has plenty of gas in the tank.
