The night kicked off with Kingdom Collapse, a rising force in modern rock that wasted no time cranking up the energy. Their heavy riffs and emotionally charged lyrics hit hard, and tracks like "Unbreakable" and "Save Me From Myself" had the crowd fired up. Lead vocalist Jonathan Norris poured everything into his performance, winning over new fans with every song.

Then came Saliva, and if the audience wasn’t already pumped, they definitely were by the time "Click Click Boom" exploded through the speakers, led by a 10-year-old fan named Natalie, who was brought up on stage. The veteran rockers have been a staple of the scene since the late ‘90s, and they proved why with a setlist packed with classics like "Your Disease". Frontman Bobby Amaru owned the stage, keeping the energy sky-high while the band’s signature mix of rock and heavy riffs had the crowd moving nonstop.

By the time Hinder hit the stage, the energy in the room was electric. They launched right into their set, showing why they’ve remained a fan favorite for nearly two decades. Lead vocalist Marshal Dutton brought his A-game, balancing raw grit with soaring melodies that had everyone singing along. Guitarists Joe "Blower" Garvey tore through solos that sent waves of excitement through the room, while bassist Mike Rodden and drummer Cody Hanson laid down thunderous rhythms that kept the energy surging.

The setlist was the perfect mix of nostalgia and fresh energy. "Get Stoned" and "All American Nightmare" had the crowd belting every word, while deeper cuts from their later albums kept things feeling sentimental. Of course, when Dutton asked “who’s ready for a song about infidelity?!” and the opening chords of "Lips of an Angel" rang out, the entire venue erupted—phones lit up the room as fans captured the moment and sang every word.

Beyond the music, the connection between the band and the crowd was undeniable. Dutton made sure to engage with fans, sharing stories and thanking them for their unwavering support. The atmosphere was more than just a concert—it felt like a rock family reunion.

The Signal was the perfect backdrop for the show, providing an intimate yet electric setting where every note hit just right. The venue’s stellar sound and lighting only added to the experience, making for an unforgettable night in Chattanooga’s rock scene.
