The band welcomed the fans with new music of 2022, but with no moment wasted decided to send the crowd 18 years back in time with the sound of the iconic intro riff of “I’m Not Ok (I Promise)” while the red velvet curtain dropped to reveal the destroyed, post-apocalyptic backdrop of a city. EVERYONE is dancing, finally tasting what “Emo Nights” have only been able to give a sample of. The table is set, let the feast begin. I see best friends hugging each other singing “Well, I’m not okay, I’m not o-fucking-kay”, laughing and smiling, understanding together that THAT is OKAY.
