Before headliners Breaking Benjamin even take the stage, you can feel the anticipation in the air. Tonight is their first ever show in Scotland, with this tour only being their second ever time in Europe.
It's evident how long the sold out crowd have been waiting to see them, and as soon as the band appear everyone is in full singalong mode. Highlights are the superb "Never Again" which is followed by the anthemic "Failure" shortly followed by a second drum kit appearing on stage, with frontman Benjamin Burnley taking place on it. Then follows a covers medley which encompasses cuts from The Imperial March (Star Wars), Schism (Tool), Smells Like Teen Spirit (Nirvana), Walk (Pantera), Bulls On Parade (Rage Against The Machine) and Sad But True (Metallica). This is all well and good but does leave you wondering if it would have been better for the band to drop it and throw in a few more of their own tunes.
The main set is finished with "I Will Not Bow", and with the crowd going wild as soon as the band leave the stage it's not long until they're back out for a storming rendition of "The Diary Of Jane" to finish things off.
With this tour having the double hitter of the amazing Starset opening and Breaking Benjamin following, it's one not to be missed!
