Pierce The Veil Review with Photos 6-12-25

   On a humid summer night at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, Pierce the Veil delivered a blistering, emotionally charged performance that confirmed why they remain one of the most compelling forces in modern rock. With support from Sleeping with Sirens and Beach Weather, the June 12th show felt like both a celebration and a cleansing. It was an unforgettable night of high-energy anthems, emotional confessions and a sea of fans screaming every lyric like their lives depended on it.

Beach Weather – Setting the Mood

    Opening with a breezy, sun-kissed set, Beach Weather kicked things off with style and groove. Their laid-back indie pop-rock set the perfect tone as the sun began to dip. Lead vocalist Nick Santino’s warm delivery on songs like “Sex, Drugs, Etc.” instantly connected with the growing crowd, while their shimmering guitar tones and steady rhythm created a summer-dream atmosphere. Beach Weather made it feel like the perfect summer prelude by warming up the late afternoon vibe. It wasn’t just an opener, it was a mood-setter that made the audience feel part of something special from the jump. The Massachusetts trio, Nick Santino (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Reeve Powers (bass/backing vocals) and Sean Silverman (lead guitar), were joined by touring members on drums and keys, keeping their fresh indie-pop/alt-rock sound tight.

Sleeping with Sirens – Post-Hardcore Power

    Sleeping with Sirens took the stage next and with the sun getting low behind the Pavilion hill the energy snapped into overdrive. Frontman Kellin Quinn with his distinctive tenor and piercing vocals was as potent as ever, slicing through tracks like “Kick Me” and “If You Can’t Hang” with heart and fury. Supported by Nick Martin (rhythm guitar/backing vocals), Justin Hills (bass/back-vocals) and Matty Best on drums their fiery performance wove through high-energy tracks and emotive moments. With Sleeping with Sirens the energy ramped up significantly, stage lighting, crowd interaction and Quinn's soaring voice created an unforgettable post-hardcore experience.

Pierce the Veil – Headliner Triumph

    By the time Pierce the Veil emerged the anticipation was almost unbearable. They opened with “Death of an Executioner” and the explosion of lights, sound and emotion was overwhelming. Vic Fuentes commanded the stage with a mix of vulnerability and swagger, his voice soaring and breaking in all the right places. Pierce The Veil’s chemistry was magnetic. Tony Perry’s guitar work was sharp and expressive, Jaime Preciado’s basslines pulsed with energy and their touring drummer Loniel Robinson, kept everything thunderous and tight. “Bulls in the Bronx” brought a fiery wave of nostalgia while “Emergency Contact” showcased Pierce The Veil's evolution into more textured, emotionally layered territory.

    For the encore, Pierce The Veil closed the night with "Disasterology" followed by the hauntingly beautiful “Hold On Till May,” creating an undeniable sense of release. As the night closed the fans lost their minds during “King for a Day.” Fans swayed, many with tears, caught in the raw, honest connection Pierce the Veil so uniquely delivers.
