A Day To Remember have survived some turbulent years.

With their legal struggles almost forgotten, the US five-piece seemed on top of the world on Saturday night: bringing their polished live show to Brighton.

Decade proved themselves worthy openers, their brand of grunge-infused pop-rock as infectious as it was familiar.

Next up were Lower Than Atlantis, meeting with mixed fortunes. A largely indifferent audience and a string of technical issues took the shine off an otherwise strong showing, featuring plenty of incisive hooks and tongue-in cheek wit.

Still, this evening was really all about one band. Packing T-shirt cannons, CO2 blasts and reams of confetti, the headliners delivered a genuine spectacle.

Exploding out of the gates with The Downfall Of Us All, Jeremy McKinnon and co knew exactly how to get their crowd onside.

From the singer’s stint in a human hamster ball - rolling over the heads of the audience – to spirited runs through Right Back At It Again and Violence, this was gleeful fan service, with the odd acoustic number and blast of the Macarena.

Their pop-punk meets metalcore fusion is gradually taking over the world; and it was especially effective this time around.

A job well done.
