The Wonder Years are taking full advantage of spooky season with their third Halloween Extravaganza, hitting eight cities across Northeastern US (Columbus, Milvale, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Philly, Boston). It kicked off on October 17th in Columbus and this year's cover set - costume and all - is LIMP BIZKIT!
That's right, the pop-punk rockers are having a blast as lead singer Dan "Soupy" Campbell dresses up like Fred Durst, aka a red baseball cap and baggy pants, and perform five Bizkit hits. They've been doing "Rollin' (Air Raid Vehicle)," "My Way," "Nookie," the Bizkit rendition of George Michael's "Faith," and last but certainly not least - "Break Stuff."
Watch some fan caught videos here:
Campbell gets into full Durst cosplay. During the Chicago show on October 20th he exclaimed, in character:
"I never thought that I would have the opportunities to do things like play New Years Eve '98/'99 for MTV with Carson Daly, a real one." 😂
After the cover set, Wonder Years change back to their regular self to play a 15-song set of OG's for the fans. The set is career sprawling and spotlights songs on almost all their studio albums (aside from their debut). You can see which songs they've been playing in their most recent setlist below!
One of the most important aspects of these Halloween shows, other than the live music, is that fans get treated to candy AND a costume contest, so if you don't attend dressed up then you may as well have gone as a clown. 🤡
There are also opening bands who also perform cover sets. You'll get performances by Trashboat, Homesafe, and Future Teens.
The Wonder Years will resume their Halloween Tour this Thursday, October 24th in Baltimore! They have four more shows left so peep the dates below.
