There was a time Motionless In White were being eyed up as one of the bands who could someday headline a venue like the Historic Crew Stadium. The turnout for their mainstage performance suggests its still not out of the question. After an already-solid turnout for Black Veil Brides, MiW greet a bustling stadium that go utterly feral as soon as the band arrive.
We spot no less than five concurrent circle pits in the crowd, one long strip seemingly running around half the length of the stadium. At one point, we spot a man in a cowboy hat twirling another on his shoulders like he’s trying out for WWE. Feeding on that energy, MiW kick things off with the scurrying beats of Meltdown, delivering a buffet of thumping rhythms and anthems loaded with barbed hooks.
