Pierce The Veil Rocks Philadelphia: Their “Favorite City” on the Creative Control Tour

Philadelphia was treated to an unforgettable night of rock on June 9, 2023, as Pierce The Veil (PTV), co-headlining with The Used, took over the Skyline Stage at the Mann Center. The evening was part of the bands' ongoing Creative Control tour, a venture that had begun in May and was set to traverse North America until July.

The line-up of this extraordinary tour included Don Broco, Deathbyromy, The Used, and of course, Pierce The Veil. As PTV played their set, it was evident that this wasn't just another gig - it was a full-fledged celebration of their comeback. It was their first tour following the release of their latest album, The Jaws of Life, which had been unveiled in March 2023 after a seven-year hiatus.

Fans who'd eagerly anticipated this moment were rewarded with a selection of songs from the new album, sprinkled with classics from their earlier albums. What stood out was the band's keen understanding of how to give a good show, complete with colorful confetti showers and dramatic CO2 jets, setting a visually impressive backdrop to their powerful music.

During their iconic "Hold On Till May" performance, the PTV frontman, Vic Fuentes, carried on with a delightful tradition that fans have come to cherish - he invited a fan onstage to serenade them. It was a reoccurring act throughout the tour, and it never failed to create a special, shared moment between the band and their followers.

As the band, led by frontman Vic Fuentes, burst into the opening chords of "Death of an Executioner," the crowd exploded in excitement. Philadelphia has always held a special place in Vic's heart, something he's never shied away from expressing. This connection with the city and its people came through as he delivered one infectious tune after another, setting the stage for a night to remember.

Ticket prices have certainly taken a turn for the better this tour season. The last time Pierce The Veil hit Philadelphia, they were opening for I Prevail on the True Power tour. Back then, fans were looking at a steep $400 to catch the show at The Fillmore due to resellers and scalpers. Fast forward to now, on their co-headlining Creative Control Tour with The Used, the tickets have come down to a far more wallet-friendly average of $80. It's great to see the band keeping things real and accessible for fans. After all, good music is best enjoyed without breaking the bank.

All in all, the band's return to the stage in Philadelphia was a night to remember for every fan in the crowd. The new songs from "The Jaws of Life" resonated through the open skies of Philadelphia, and the band's seamless blend of their classic and new tracks was a testament to their lasting allure.

Pierce The Veil's Creative Control tour is not just about their triumphant return. It's a nod to their enduring legacy, their loyal fan base, and their ability to continually push boundaries in the rock music genre.

The tour carries on throughout the summer, promising more unforgettable nights of music, fan interaction, and raw energy that Pierce The Veil has become synonymous with. Don't miss the chance to see them live – check out their remaining tour dates and secure your ticket!
