Indianapolis, IN. – Most fans were aware of the changes to the line-up before showing up at Old National Centre Saturday evening, but if not, ONC had big signs on all the doors informing fans that Asking Alexandria would not be performing as originally scheduled. Due to a lingering throat infection, Asking Alexandria’s lead vocalist Danny Worsnop has been advised to remain on vocal rest; which ultimately meant the band had to drop out of their co-headlining tour. (No worries though, as AA has promised to reschedule the tour once Danny has healed – Be sure to send him all the healing energy for a quick recovery!!) This unfortunate situation left Nothing More holding the reins, and along with support acts Atreyu and Eva Under Fire, the decision was made to continue the tour as “the show must go on”…which brings us to Saturday night.
Up first were rockers Eva Under Fire featuring Amanda Lyberg (lead vocals), Rob Lyberg (guitar), Corey Newsome (drums) and Ed Gawlik III (bass/vocals). These rockers out of Detroit, MI brought their “A” game to the stage and did exactly what an opener act does – get the fans in the room and get that energy up and going!

After a quick stage change over, a handful of Hall & Oats greatest hits and a John Denver ‘Country Road’ sing-a-long, it was time for Nothing More. As members Jonny Hawkins (lead vocals, scorpion tail), Mark Vollelunga (guitar), Daniel Oliver (bass), and Ben Anderson (drums) took the stage, they wasted no time getting down to business. It was a solid, fast moving 90-minute set that gave the crowd of all ages exactly what they came for. *Quick shout out to the band who noticed a little and his dad struggling on the rail due to the continuous stream of crowd surfing. The band took a moment to stop the show, pull the kid and his dad out of the crowd, and calm the energy in the room a bit to help everyone stay safe and aware of their surroundings.
