On a cold, rainy night, the legendary Opeth and Mastodon graced the South Side Ballroom stage. The rainy weather didn’t stop fans from showing up to the event, though.

Opeth expressed their excitement to be back with their fans again; the sentiment of being excited to be back will never get old! They planned to tour last year, but COVID postponed those plans. With a new drummer, they are back at it and thriving! Fans were excited and cheering with them.

The epic Mastodon was next on stage, and even before they got on stage, the crowd was already cheering and chanting their name in excitement.
