January 15, 2015 - Orlando, FL

Time to kick off another tour, and for the second time on this touring cycle we are kicking it off in Florida!

This will be the return to Orlando for the band, not visiting in 12 years! The first show was back in 2000 on July 24(my ninth birthday, thank you very much). This is the only show from Orlando that there is a recording from, you can check out Forgotten from the show further below. They then returned later in the year on November 15th. The band came back in 2003 on July 13th.

In case you wanted to sing along in Spanish... I guess?​

Last we caught up with the band they finished off the busy 2014 with the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas show. The band was not the headliner so therefore they played a shorter setlist, however they did not let this stop them from having a great show. The show went pretty smoothly, with just a few sample mishaps and some technical difficulties, you can witness it yourself with this complete recording. The band was once again joined by Daron Malakian on Rebellion and Tim McIllrath on Bleed It Out. Check out Bleed It Out here below.

I dislike when they censor the music too

This was set to be a normal opening show, until the band posted this photo on their Instagram page with the title "BBB rehearsing a new song". This opened the floodgates with speculation about what song it could be. Currently the favourites amongst the speculation are Keys To The Kingdom, War and A Line In The Sand. If War is the new song to be played it would be a bit of a surprise, since the band has previously expressed interest in Keys To The Kingdom and A Line In The Sand to be played live, but not War. There has also been talk about it being a NEW new song, something not from The Hunting Party. We don't know if the song will debut at this show or later on in the tour, we all have to wait and see what the band has up their sleeves for us.

For this tour, the band wanted to head out to places they have not been to as much as they have wanted to, starting off with this show, since they have not been in Orlando since 2003. Members of both of Mice and Men and Rise Against have been joining the band on stage, Austin Carlile joined the band on Faint for a big portion of the recent European tour, Aaron Pauley joined the band for the Iridescent portion of the ballad medley for a few performances on that tour and Tim McIllrath joined the band for the last two performances of 2014 on Bleed It Out. Tim and Chester said recently in a interview that the bands are open for live collaborations, so we can hopefully expect a repeat of all these appearances at least once on the tour.
