The Everyone’s Talking Tour wrapped up its seven-week run on Saturday in Wilkes-Barre, PA, and even though it was a last-minute addition to the tour, fans came out from all over to show up for their favorite bands. Acts included a rotating lineup that gave any genre fan a reason to attend, with support from The Paradox, Four Year Strong, and Mayday Parade.
While this tour wrapped up its first leg, it will pick back up where it left off across the pond with its Europe dates in January 2026. Stops will include cities like Madrid, Paris, and London. All Time Low delivers a high-energy celebration of their beloved catalog that spans 22 years as a band. If you weren’t able to catch it in the States and can make it overseas, I’d highly suggest seeing this massive production on the European leg of the tour.
The Paradox delivers a young pop-punk rock vibe out of Atlanta, GA. They blew up quickly, endorsing and collaborating with big names like Jack White, Travis Barker, and even Billie Joe Armstrong. Since then, fans have been catching on to their nonstop, energy-filled sets, including hits like “Do Me Like That”—which, the band joked, was originally titled “Subaru” because the song was about a girl who cheated on their lead singer and ran him over in her Subaru. Their lawyers advised against it after receiving a cease-and-desist letter from Subaru—which is about as punk rock as it gets, if you ask me.
Up next was not your average opener. Four Year Strong delivered the heaviest set of the night. Coming off the release of their newest album Analysis Paralysis in 2024, these vets showed why they are one of the best to ever do it. Pop-punk vibes with breakdowns any hardcore fan would crave—it was easy to see why the pit opened up for these Massachusetts legends.
Mayday Parade had one of the best introductions of the night. For the first time in probably two decades, fans got to rave to Darude’s “Sandstorm,” and just as the beat dropped, so did Mayday Parade. They instantly won the crowd over with “Under My Sweater,” followed by their beloved “Jersey,” kicking off a massive sing-along. Fans in the front row expressed their love for the band, and one fan even climbed onto their friend’s shoulders to proudly display a map of the cities where they’d seen them. Frontman Derek Sanders expressed his gratitude and dedicated “Piece of Your Heart” to her.
Pop-punk royalty All Time Low opened their set with “[cold open],” featuring frontman Alex Gaskarth with an acoustic guitar under a single spotlight—a clear testament to the adventure the crowd was about to embark on. Coming off their new record Everyone’s Talking, they followed with hit singles like “Oh No!” and “SUCKERPUNCH.” The crowd was on its feet and ready for more. The band’s gratitude for their fans was obvious, often stopping between songs to thank everyone for coming. Mentioning that ticket sales were over 90k for this tour alone was a huge accomplishment for them, especially considering not every stop was in a large arena like this one.
The most impressive part of this production was certainly the time and effort put into the stage setup. It was no easy task to build this show every night, and the band was eternally grateful for their crew. The visuals during each song kept the audience glued to the stage, afraid to look away for even a moment. The vibrancy was unmatched, and the “pop” in pop-punk was alive and well. Drummer Rian Dawson even broke a cymbal during “Dark Side of Your Room,” sparking onstage conversation about how often he breaks cymbals.
The most memorable moment of the night came when Gaskarth called for fans to put someone on their shoulders during “Something’s Gotta Give,” complete with on-screen instructions on their giant blow-up old-school television. The crowd started slowly, but in no time dozens of people were up on shoulders, singing along. At one point, Gaskarth pulled off something no one had likely seen before—he tossed a guitar pick directly into a fan’s mouth as they sat on a friend’s shoulders. After laughing and checking to make sure they were okay, he joked that he’d jump into the crowd to perform the Heimlich if needed.
The night ended in inflatable, wacky-waving chaos as the band played their most iconic number, “Dear Maria.” They teased that the previous song was their last, but everyone knew they’d be back to finish the night the only way they know how—with one giant party. The crowd left with a sense of hope for the future, singing lyrics that filled their teenage years with joy, surrounded by significant others, best friends, and newcomers who can now say they partied with All Time Low and had one unforgettable night to show for it.
