On September 27, 2024, Baltimore’s Pier Six Pavilion became the epicenter of rock as the highly anticipated Skillet and Seether 2024 Tour made its way into town. The venue, nestled along the waterfront, was packed with fans eager to witness two powerhouse bands share the stage for a night of explosive performances. With the crisp autumn air mixing with the buzz of excitement, it was clear from the moment the doors opened that this show was going to be something special.
The night kicked off with rising star Tim Montana, whose southern-infused rock perfectly set the stage for the night’s energy. A staple in the country rock scene, Montana delivered a fiery six-song set, captivating the audience with his gritty sound and no-holds-barred performance. Highlights from his set included “Get You Some,” a hard-hitting anthem that got the crowd moving, and the crowd-pleaser “Die Today.” Montana’s set reached its pinnacle when he was joined on stage by Royale Lynn for their electrifying duet of “Devil You Know.” Their chemistry on stage, along with Montana’s rugged stage presence, made for a thrilling start to the night, setting the bar high for the bands to come.

As the lights dimmed and the familiar strains of Seether’s music began to echo through the pavilion, the crowd erupted with excitement. The South African rockers, who have been a mainstay in the rock scene for nearly 25 years, delivered a career-spanning set that was as intense as it was nostalgic. Kicking things off with “Wasteland,” Seether wasted no time in unleashing their signature blend of grunge and alternative rock. Frontman Shaun Morgan‘s raw, powerful vocals commanded the stage, while the band’s tight musicianship kept the energy at a fever pitch.
Throughout their hour-long set, Seether took fans on a journey through their discography, performing hits like “Nobody Praying for Me” and their smash hit “Broken,” which had the crowd singing along to every word. One of the night’s standout moments came when the band performed “Judas Mind” from their latest album, “The Surface Seems So Far.” The track’s haunting lyrics and heavy guitar riffs showcased the band’s evolution while still staying true to the sound that made them famous. By the time they closed out their set, the crowd was primed and ready for the night’s headliner.

After a brief intermission, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived. Skillet, one of the most iconic bands in Christian rock, took the stage with an explosive entrance that set the tone for their high-octane set. The band, formed in Memphis, Tennessee, more than two decades ago, has become known for their blend of hard rock, symphonic elements, and deeply inspirational lyrics. They launched into their set with “Psycho in My Head,” instantly igniting the crowd with their infectious energy.
John Cooper, Skillet’s charismatic frontman, led the charge, his larger-than-life stage presence captivating the audience as he belted out some of the band’s biggest hits. Tracks like “Monster” and “The Resistance” had the crowd headbanging and singing along, while the band’s tight performance kept the energy at an all-time high. One of the most memorable moments of the night came when Cooper appeared on stage with mechanical cannons attached to his arms, shooting smoke into the crowd, a moment that felt straight out of a sci-fi action movie. It was a spectacle that left the audience in awe, solidifying Skillet’s reputation as one of the most entertaining live acts in rock today.
As the show drew to a close, Skillet performed fan favorites like “Awake and Alive” and “Feel Invincible,” bringing the night to an epic finale.
