On June 28th, the Riverside Municipal Auditorium was packed with fans ready for a night of rock with Dance Gavin Dance on their Return of the Robot Tour. The energy in the room was strong from the start, and everyone was excited for what the night had in store.

When it was time for Dance Gavin Dance, the lights went dark and huge inflatable robots rose up behind the stage. The crowd went wild as the band members came out one by one and opened their set with “Speed Demon.” From that moment on, they didn’t slow down.

They played a mix of older songs and brand-new ones from their upcoming album Pantheon. The crowd was fully locked in, singing, moshing, and dancing the whole time. Jon Mess and Andrew Wells were on vocals, and Will Swan’s guitar playing was as sharp as ever. Everyone on stage gave it their all, and the fans gave that energy right back.
