rise against tour 2023 setlist

Photos: Rise Against kicks-off Metro residency with hits, deep-cuts & rarities

Rise Against performs at Metro in Chicago on March 30, 2023.

A concert series featuring one massively popular band playing three amazing nights of music at a renowned Chicago venue , celebrating 40 years of iconic performances, already sounds like the place to be. Add in three completely different set lists – and the x-factor of three beloved local punk bands serving as support – and you’ve got the magic formula for a historic residency.

On Thursday, March 30, Rise Against – Tim McIlrath (vocals, guitar), Joe Principe (bass), Brandon Barnes (drums) and Zach Blair (lead guitar) – played the first of three sold-out shows in conjunction with the Alive & Well: The Metro Residency, presented by Q101. The venue was packed with fans ready to sing, scream and crowd-surf along with their favorite tracks.

“Alive and Well” proved to be the perfect choice to kick-off the extravaganza. Soon after, McIlrath grabbed his guitar for “Injection” and “Dancing for Rain” before taking a moment to thank the crowd for coming out to this hometown show and explaining that – despite their reservations – they intended to play all three Metro shows without repeating a single song.

“After considering dishonoring that agreement, we decided to honor it,” said McIlrath, who explained earlier that the band had to relearn some of the tracks. “It was a great idea six months ago, not as great of an idea a month ago when we were all like, ‘Holy shit, that’s a lot of songs.’ But fuck it. We’re gonna do it. Every song you hear tonight we’re not going to play tomorrow night or the next night.”

Fans clearly appreciated the effort as cheers roared across the audience. This once-in-a-lifetime setlist included a live debut of “Bridges,” “This Is Letting Go,” “Prayer of the Refugee,” “Entertainment” – which hasn’t been played since 2011 – and more.

The Bollweevils perform at Metro in Chicago on March 30, 2023.

The Bollweevils were on hand to open-up night one – Smoking Popes and Kali Masi will serve as support on nights two and three, respectively – and vocalist Daryl Wilson took time out to revel in what was for him, and many in the crowd, a full circle moment.

“We played this place at the ninth gala anniversary, way back in 1991, opening up for Naked Raygun on this stage. That was instrumental in making us a band, making us become who we are,” he said joking about how, after a temporary ban, they continued to return to the Metro stage time and time again. “We got to come back and play with Rise Against on their 10-year anniversary. Now, we’re back again playing for the 40 th anniversary of the Metro with Rise Against. So we’ve come full circle.”

Recent tour reviews

They completely messed up the sound mix for the first third of the show. To try and compensate for this, the singer had to try and sing harder and just ended up stuffing up the songs instead.

Luckily once the acoustic set started about a third of the way into the concert they fixed the mix and the rest of the concert was awesome.

I hope next time they play this doesn't happen. To quote one of my friends, he described the first part of the concert as 'terrible' and I would have to agree.

I was hoping they'd sing A Gentlemen's Coup or From Heads Unworthy but it didn't sound like they did, though if they did play it in the first third of the concert, I'm not sure I would have noticed as it really was that terrible you couldn't hear anything.

Report as inappropriate

Being the last show on the national tour, by the time the boys hit Brisbane Tim’s voice was shot. We initially thought it was the sound system but sadly no. Despite this he busted his arse belting out a great mix of new and old.

The drumming , usually the glue of the Band was off tempo and tired with the usual frenetic double beats replaced by a more subdued almost offbeat rhythm.

Lead guitar lacked usual punch and often found himself mid stage nowhere near a mic when it was his turn to vocally support Tim requiring a quick sprint into position. Stayed for the acoustic set which showcased Tim wonderfully then off to the Ship Inn to lament an off night for a usually brilliant act

First gig I've ever walked out on during the headliner. Being used to metal shows, where all the metalheads look out for eachother & mosh in the centre but leave the rest alone, this is not like that. I was in the 3rd from front row, when the band came on the front 7 rows became a crunch of people all pushing the people at the front into the fence, you had no choice but to be squashed into a pulp of people & couldn't see anything but bodies even when 6ft tall right at the front. Worst experience I've ever had at a concert, having been to 3 heavy metal concerts the same week. Stay further back or don't go atall, my experience really put me off & wasted my money.

Rise Against Drop Two Aus Headline Tour Dates Between Blink-182 Support Slot

Rise Against announce two headline dates in theatres around their busy schedule opening for blink-182.

Gold and Platinum-selling punk rockers Rise Against will return to Australia in February 2024, opening a whopping 17 shows in Australia and New Zealand for blink-182 .

Today, in addition to those massive stadium/arena dates, Rise Against have announced two headline gigs in Melbourne and Sydney – their sole headline dates down under this summer. Special guests will be announced soon.

Before the blink-182 tour starts on Thursday, 8 February, at RAC Arena in Perth, the iconic Chicago four-piece will bring their thrilling live shows to two theatres: the Forum in Melbourne on Sunday, 4 February, and Sydney’s Enmore Theatre on Monday, 5 February.

The general sale begins on Tuesday, 14 November, at noon AEDT, while Frontier Members can access pre-sale tickets on Monday, 13 November, at 11 am local time. You can register here for access to pre-sale tickets. Tickets will be available via the Frontier Touring website .

Rise Against are touring in support of two companion releases, the 2021 album Nowhere Generation and 2022’s follow-up EP Nowhere Generation II . Reviving the band’s renowned brand of propulsive, empowering, impassioned punk rock, the group collaborated with producer Bill Stevenson ( The Descendents, Black Flag ) on the new album.

In a review of this year’s When We Were Young festival, The Music writer Tamara May watched on as Yellowcard vocalist William Ryan Key joined Rise Against singer Tim McIlrath for an emotional rendition of Swing Life Away . Reviewing Nowhere Generation , Kill Your Stereo writer Alex Sievers summarised :

Don't miss a beat with our FREE daily newsletter

Nowhere Generation is unapologetically timely, embodying three generations who feel unheard, overlooked and left behind when it comes to climate and economic stability of the future that they will endure instead of the decision-makers, filthy rich CEO's and politicians who will die before the ramifications of those actions come due. The future is bleak, but it is also unwritten, and it's high time for us all to band together to help make it an equal, brighter reality. Rise Against's latest body of work is a reminder of that cause.

It’s difficult to argue against the standing, consistent power and durability of Rise Against.

Rise Against Announce New 2024 Tour Dates

Rise Against are hitting the road again later this year for a full-fledged tour through the United States of America.

The band will be playing shows from the 14th of October up until the 22nd of November, ending their tour in Del Mar, California.

The support acts for these shows have not yet been revealed, but Rise Against did state in their announcement that they will be joined by ‘some old friends and new friends’. They have also revealed that the setlist will be a bit more surprising than in recent years, with some songs making the cut that haven’t generally been played live lately.

Tickets for these shows will go on sale this coming Friday, the 17th of May. Check out all the tour dates and details on the poster right below!

We can’t wait to head out this fall with some old friends and new friends. Since we’ll be playing some venues we haven’t played in a while, we thought we’d dust off some songs we haven’t played in some time. Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10am local time. pic.twitter.com/B0ekAaJ4xW — Rise Against (@riseagainst) May 14, 2024
