Kicking off the night was Saint Asonia, a band led by the charismatic Adam Gontier, formerly of Three Days Grace. The crowd erupted as they took the stage, opening with the soul-stirring anthem “Better Place.” Gontier’s connection with the audience was palpable, especially when he delved into his Three Days Grace repertoire, treating fans to nostalgic renditions of “Never Too Late” and the anthemic “I Hate Everything About You.” Saint Asonia set the tone for the evening, leaving concertgoers eager for what was to come.

The arena erupted as they launched into the anthemic “Feel Invincible,” setting the stage for a performance that would resonate long after the final chord.

Skillet’s setlist was a rollercoaster of emotions, featuring hits like “Awake and Alive,” the empowering “Hero,” and the electrifying “Monster.” Frontman John Cooper’s passionate interaction with the crowd added a personal touch, and his discussions about overcoming depression struck a chord with many. The highlight of the night came when Adam Gontier from Saint Asonia joined Skillet on stage to perform the powerful ballad “Finish Line” together, creating a moment of musical magic.
