Saturday night at Wind Creek Event Center was anything but predictable — and that’s exactly how fans wanted it.
Opening the night with a heavy dose of emotional honesty, Badflower delivered a set that walked the razor’s edge between vulnerable and volcanic. Frontman Josh Katz led the charge with a setlist that dug deep into the band’s darkest corners — from the slow-burn tension of “30” to the cathartic scream-along of “Ghost.” Katz’s voice cracked and soared with raw sincerity, gripping the crowd from the first lyric. No theatrics needed — just pure, lived-in feeling. The room felt intimate, even in its largest moments.
Then came 311, living proof that funk, reggae, rock, and hip-hop don’t just coexist — they thrive when done right. Kicking off their headlining set with “Homebrew” & “Beautiful Disaster,” the band wasted no time launching into a full-blown, high-energy celebration. The rhythm section of P-Nut and Chad Sexton locked in tight, while SA and Nick Hexum traded vocals and charisma like it was still 1999. And when “Amber” rolled in like a warm breeze, the singalong was deafening.
More than 30 years into their career, 311 still has the live spark — mixing throwbacks with fan-favorites like “All Mixed Up,” “Creatures (For a While),” and a fire-spitting version of “Down” that had the whole venue on its feet.
The takeaway? Whether you came for the angsty punch of Badflower or the genre-hopping grooves of 311, Saturday night was a reminder that rock shows aren’t just about the music — they’re about connection, release, and losing yourself in something loud and alive.
