Beartooth stormed into SOMA San Diego on February 22, 2024, unleashing a tidal wave of metalcore during their sold out show. The lineup was a powerhouse — with Sleep Theory, Invent Animate, and The Plot In You igniting the stage with mosh-worthy performances.
Sleep Theory kicked things off with a bang, immediately rallying the crowd and setting the tone for the night. The pit opened early, and fans wasted no time diving into the frenzy. However, it was Invent Animate who truly stole the show — leaving jaws on the floor with their blistering set. Vocalist Marcus Vik commanded the stage with magnetic intensity, while the band’s powerful synchronicity elevated the energy. Their performance of “Sleepless Deathbed” was a highlight, showcasing their mastery of both aggression and melody.
Following after, The Plot In You took the stage by storm, captivating fans with their dynamic presence and infectious spark. Vocalist Landon Tewers ensured every corner of the venue was engulfed in the chaos of mosh pits and crowd surfers. With a setlist ranging from classics like “Disposable Fix” to the anticipation-building “Closure” from their upcoming EP, The Plot In You left no doubt that they were a force to be reckoned with.
Finally, headliners Beartooth unleashed their ferociousness upon the crowd. With Caleb Shomo leading the charge, his raw intensity and undeniable charisma charmed the crowd. From the anthemic “Sunshine!” to the explosive “The Past is Dead,” Beartooth delivered hit after hit, leaving the crowd exhilarated and hungry for more.
The entire night was pure metalcore magic — with each band proving their earned spot on this tour’s roster.
