Pop Evil celebrate the release of 'Skeletons' with SOLD OUT show in Lititz, Pa

March 24, 2023

Pop Evil's return to Pennsylvania on the 'Skeletons Tour' came less than a week after the band dropped their new album sharing the same name and they were greeted by a SOLD OUT crowd at Mickey's Black Box. The band is no stranger to the touring scene and has been actively grinding in the genre since 2001 but has found massive success over the past years as Leigh Kakaty and company have truly hit their stride. The 'Skeletons Tour' saw the band bringing their heaviest setlist yet to their fans that even saw a few mosh pits break out during the night. With 7 albums of material behind them at this point Pop Evil has plenty of material to choose from and a glance at the setlist showcased just how many singles of their's have charted at radio over recent years as "Trenches," "Deal With the Devil,"b"Eye of the Storm," "Waking Lions" and many more made the final cut for the fans in Lititz.


Pop Evil are no strangers to live performances and leave it all on the stage whether they are headlining, playing a small support gig or are a part of a massive festival. From start to finish the band commanded the stage at Mickey's Black Box and left the crowd stunned with their incredibly tight performance that had fan singing along with them for the entirety of the set. Through out the night it was easy to see the next chapter of Pop Evil shining bright in the future as the venue allowed them to have a massive stage production that felt more akin to an arena show than a club show. Fresh of the release of "Skeletons" it looks like 2023 is going to be Pop Evil's year with this tour selling out nationwide and singles from the album already tearing up the charts. Pop Evil's climb hasn't been overnight but the journey has made them the band that they are today - and that band is ready to take off to new heights at the rate they going.

Stone Temple Pilots return to Pennsylvania to headline RockFest

By Matt Christine • September 16, 2025
Stone Temple Pilots’ return to Pennsylvania for RockFest was more than just another stop on tour as the band isn't on the road promoting a new album or anything particular at the moment making this one off show truly special. Their festival headline slot was a true celebration of a band that has not only endured but continues to thrive. After more than twenty years of music, their headline performance in Grantville showed that Stone Temple Pilots are still writing their best chapters. When Jeff Gutt first stepped in as lead singer, fans were curious about how he would fill the shoes of such an iconic role of those who came before him. A few years and countless shows later, there’s no longer any question. Gutt has evolved into the frontman the band always seemed to be waiting for - powerful, confident, and endlessly engaging. His vocals are as sharp and reliable as ever, but his presence has grown into something magnetic. Whether pacing the stage with fiery energy or locking eyes with fans in the crowd, Gutt now owns every moment in the spotlight. It has reached a point where it is harder to imagine Stone Temple Pilots without Gutt versus any version prior to his arrival with the band. As always, Robert and Dean DeLeo provided the backbone of STP’s unmistakable sound. Their tight musicianship and playful energy were the perfect counterbalance to Gutt’s intensity as he sprinted around the stage (and even jump off into the crowd at one point). The brothers looked like they were having just as much fun as the crowd, trading riffs, smiles, and moments of pure musical joy throughout the night. It was a reminder that their chemistry is the true heartbeat of this band, and it’s never sounded stronger. The night was a journey through the full scope of Stone Temple Pilots’ career. Fans were treated to a perfect balance of old favorites, deeper cuts, and fresh material. “Big Bang Baby” was a standout moment of the set early on, soaring with Gutt’s vocals. Hearing the classics re-energized while newer songs slid in seamlessly made the set feel both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. If this RockFest performance was any indication, Stone Temple Pilots are in the middle of an exciting new era. For long-time listeners and new fans alike, that means one thing: it’s time to get ready for more shows, more songs, and more unforgettable nights like this one. What is next for Stone Temple Pilots may be up in the air but one thing is for certain, they remain one of the tightest live bands in the genre.
