Oliver Tree brings Sueco and 347Aidan for 'Sold Out' show in Philadelphia

March 22, 2022

Oliver Tree's 'Cowboy Tears' tour rolled through Philadelphia after selling out weeks in advance for an iconic (and insane) sold out performance at the Fillmore that included sets from special guests Sueco and 347Aidan.

While Oliver Tree may be "newer" the alternative touring world his legacy as both a studio musician and live performer is already years ahead of his age as Tree has pioneered an artistic image unlike any other. Before Tik Tok gave artists an avenue to truly do whatever they wanted for digital content Oliver Tree launched his persona and has continued to grow it in the years that have followed. Now on tour in support of his country and alternative mash up album 'Cowboy Tears,' Tree has performed mostly sold out shows nationwide to his fans.


Joining Oliver Tree on this tour were rising stars 347Aidan and Sueco who grew to new heights with their recent material as well as success on Tik Tok during the pandemic when there was a pause in touring. 347Aidan is widely known for his song "Dancing In My Room" that spent multiple weeks as a top song on the platform but his recent EP also charted well on streaming charts. The young artist was a bit under the weather for the performance in Philadelphia he explained but it didn't keep him from delivered a great set to a crowd that was clearly eager to see him as they arrived very early in the night to catch the set.

Sueco took the stage shortly after for a set that was a non stop punk banger from start to finish that saw him diving into the crowd multiple times and even at one point getting lost in the mosh pit of the crowd. In the past year Sueco has had numerous songs climb the alternative charts and feature on streaming playlists including "SOS" (featuring Travis Barker, "Paralyzed" and most recently "Loser." His new album 'It Was Fun While It Lasted' was released during the run of this tour and it peaked at Number 1 on the alternative streaming charts briefly beating out Avril Lavigne. Sueco's set was as fun as the album itself is and while not technically perfect he delivered a true rock performance even going as far as smashing a guitar during the middle of the set. For an artist on his first tour ever Sueco shined brightest when he was having fun on stage and showcased a lot of potential to dominate the touring world as he has with the streaming world in the past year as his 30 minute set kept the crowd dancing from start to finish.

Oliver Tree's arrival to the stage was met with a thunderous roar from the crowd as he told them to get their hands up as he danced across the stage and kicked off the night with his cover of Getter's "Forget You." For those in attendance the show played out as vividly as an action movie mashed with a love drama and explaining what an Oliver Tree show is to the unfamiliar music fan is truly impossible. Tree quickly jumped into a performance of "Alien Boy" that caused the crowd to surge with excitement as he did multiple rounds of his borderline trademarked dances across the stage. At times you'd have expected the show to slow down for Oliver Tree to catch his breathe but it was in these moments things only got more insane as cows were brought out on to the stage, little motorcycles appeared and even toilet paper was sent across the stage for an "emergency" bathroom break.


A lot of artists have played the Fillmore in Philadelphia, possibly thousands at this point, but none of them are Oliver Tree. In an alternative genre that is increasingly competitive Tree has created a niche that is truly all his own and at the same time created some amazing art that deserves to be recognized as among the best in the scene. Vocally Tree delivered flawless performances of all of his "hits" and a dozen more songs from his albums that were both entertainingly remade into their live renditions. Highlights of the set certainly included the lead single "Cowboy Tears" but some deeper cuts like "Cigarettes" and "Miracle Man" also shined bright in the lengthy set that Tree brought for Philadelphia.

Across 20 songs Oliver Tree took the sold out crowd at the Fillmore Philadelphia on a musical journey out of this planet and be the time he returned them back to Earth they were exhausted from singing and dancing all night. There is only one Oliver Tree and his trajectory is only upwards from here as it has been since his debut. If you missed the 'Cowboy Tears' tour you missed a once in a life time experience of a show with killer support - until Oliver Tree decides to hit the road again and outdoes himself as he has time and time again.

Trivium and Jinjer bring the 'Ascend Above The Ashes Tour' to Lancaster

By Matt Christine • November 14, 2025
Trivium is back on the road in 2025 — and this time, they’ve brought Jinjer along for a blistering run across the U.S. on the “Ascend Above The Ashes Tour.” Over the last four years, the rock and metal world has seen a wild expansion of dream-team co-headlining and powerful support on tours, the kind fans never thought they’d see outside of wish lists. Rising metal powerhouse Jinjer has been in the international spotlight ever since they were forced to exit Slipknot’s 2022 tour to return home and support Ukraine’s war efforts. In the years since, they’ve become global ambassadors for both their country and the metal community. And even as the supporting act on this tour, the band was greeted by a massive turnout and a stage setup that matched their well-earned status in the scene. Their addition on this tour with Trivium was a match made in heaven (or hell) and a perfect compliment sonically. The band's 9 song setlist got the mosh pit moving and crowd surfers flowing ahead of the main event that evening. It may have been a Wednesday night , but you wouldn’t have known it based on the crowd’s energy leading up to Trivium’s 9:50 p.m. arrival. Pennsylvania showed once again why it has a reputation as one of the weirdest and yet strongest markets in the country for rock and metal. When the band’s massive stage slowly illuminated to reveal a dramatic backdrop, Trivium launched into their set with explosive force as strobes burst to blinding effects all around them. Trivium's 14 song set was a blistering pace of their greatest hits and new material that left little time for the band to chat with the crowd as they moved quickly from song to song. Frontman Matt Heafy nearly blended into the elaborate backdrop thanks to a jacket patterned almost identically, but he was impossible to miss as he tore across the stage from mic to mic, shredding through one technical assault after another. Much like Jinjer’s opening performance, Trivium delivered a razor-sharp, 80-minute set that pulled from across their expansive catalog. From the first crushing riff to the final crack of the snare, they gave Lancaster everything they had — and the packed pit gave it right back. Opening nights can often feel unpredictable, but Lancaster showed up ready, proving once again that this city doesn’t just attend shows — it sets the bar. If the rest of the “Ascend Above Ashes Tour” follows this lead, Trivium and Jinjer are in for one unforgettable run.

Taylor Acorn returns home to Pennsylvania at the Archer Music Hall

By Matt Christine • November 12, 2025
Taylor Acorn’s return to Pennsylvania to the Arrow at the Archer Music Hall in Allentown was a homecoming a long time coming after a massive year of touring and festival appearances. Just a few weeks after performing at the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas - and fresh off wrapping The Summer School Tour - Taylor Acorn returned to Pennsylvania with clear momentum behind her. Touring in support of her newly released LP, she arrived at The Arrow at the Archer in Allentown with a setlist shaped around this new chapter of her sound. The fresh material wasn’t just sprinkled into the night; it was the thread that held the entire show together. And while Acorn hasn’t forgotten her roots in the pop-punk world, it’s obvious that these newer songs give her a wider lane to move in and let her shine bright onstage. The Arrow itself proved to be an ideal setting. The room was full but comfortable, with that sweet spot where you can feel the crowd’s energy without fighting for space. Warm lighting and a clear sightline from almost anywhere in the venue helped create a sense of connection the moment Acorn stepped out. It didn’t take long for the entire place to settle into a rhythm—heads nodding, hands in the air, and plenty of voices shouting back the lines they knew. Between songs, Acorn kept the energy light and the banter genuine. She shared quick stories, poked fun at herself, and made it clear she appreciated being back in her home state. Nothing dragged, nothing felt overly rehearsed—it all stayed grounded in the good-natured vibe that filled the room. By the end of the night, The Arrow at the Archer felt less like a tour stop and more like a celebration of where Acorn is right now: an artist still rooted in the scene that raised her, but growing fast and sounding sharper than ever. The crowd felt it, the room carried it, and Acorn made sure everyone left buzzing. A strong show, a great space, and the kind of night that makes you want to catch her again before the tour moves on.
