Gilford, NH – August 16, 2025
On Saturday night, the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford shook with pure punk energy as Bad Religion headlined alongside Dropkick Murphys, delivering a night that fans won’t soon forget. With supporting sets from Mainliners and a surprise nod to Haywire on the Little Hazy Stage, the lineup proved that punk rock’s fire is still burning strong.
Mainliners Set the Tone
The night opened with Mainliners, who primed the crowd for what would be an explosive evening. Their energy and raw delivery gave the audience a taste of what was to come, creating the perfect launchpad for the legendary acts that followed.
Bad Religion – Attitude & Anthems
When Bad Religion took the stage, the atmosphere immediately shifted into high gear. With decades of history behind them, they wasted no time firing off politically charged anthems and crowd favorites. The audience responded in kind—singing along, throwing themselves into the pit, and fueling the sense of unity that only a punk show can deliver. Their setlist included classics that carried both weight and urgency, reminding everyone why Bad Religion remain punk icons.
Dropkick Murphys – 30 Years of Celtic Punk Fire
By the time Dropkick Murphys stormed the stage, the crowd was more than ready. Opening with “The Boys Are Back” and “Who’s Gonna Stand Up”, they set the tone for a raucous, sing-along-heavy set.
Despite being near the end of a summer-long tour, the Murphys showed no signs of slowing down. Celebrating 30 years as a band, their energy matched – and arguably surpassed – that of their first tour days. Backed by a fiercely loyal fanbase, the set mixed Irish folk influences with punk aggression, proving why their sound has endured for three decades.
Highlights included “Middle Finger” and “First Class Loser”, which sent the pit into a frenzy of moshing and crowd-surfing. Ken Casey’s heartfelt dedication of “I Hope I Make You Proud” to his mother struck an emotional chord, balancing the chaos with sincerity.
A Night That Could Have Gone On Forever
Though venue rules required the music to stop at 11 p.m., fans clearly weren’t ready to leave. Chants and energy lingered long after the final note, a testament to the connection these bands have with their audience.
As Dropkick Murphys reminded the crowd: punk isn’t just music—it’s a lifestyle. And on this night in Gilford, that spirit was alive, loud, and unforgettable.

Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom roared to life on Friday night as Dirty Honey and The Struts turned the seaside venue into a rock ’n’ roll carnival of high energy and pure joy. Fans packed the historic ballroom, and from the opening notes to the final encore, the place shook like it had never rocked before.
Dirty Honey – Setting the Fire
Dirty Honey wasted no time proving why they’re one of the most exciting rock bands on the circuit. Frontman Marc LaBelle blurred the line between performer and fan, running into the middle of the crowd during Don’t Put Out the Fire and belting out lyrics while standing on top of a chair, with fans singing every word back at him.
Won't Take Me Alive drove the energy higher, and by the time they hit Miss Me When I’m Gone and the explosive closer Rolling 7s, the Casino Ballroom was on fire. The band’s gritty swagger and LaBelle’s charisma had the crowd in a frenzy. Before leaving the stage, LaBelle promised Dirty Honey would be back next year—a promise the New Hampshire faithful will no doubt hold him to.
The Struts – An Explosion of Joy, Rock and Roll Style
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of their breakout debut Everybody Wants, The Struts gave Hampton a night worthy of the milestone. True to their word, they played the album front to back, and the crowd responded with deafening singalongs, especially on fan-favorite Could Have Been Me.
Luke Spiller is a frontman in the truest sense— conductor, dance choreographer and rock star showman. From the moment he stepped onstage, he orchestrated a two-hour party of nonstop hands in the air, singing and dancing. Whether behind the mic or at the keys for One Night Only, Spiller commanded the stage with effortless charisma.
The band’s mix of glam-rock flamboyance and tight musicianship kept energy sky-high, peaking with the raucous finale Pretty Vicious. Fans didn’t just watch the show—they lived it, and judging by the chants long after the last note rang out, they didn’t want to leave.

Katy’s audience spanned all walks of life, which is always the best part—seeing how a performer connects with so many different people. She has an unmatched ability to give her fans exactly what they want… and so much more!Physically, Katy is in top form for this tour.

It was a jaw-dropping combination of athleticism and artistry that made the night unforgettable.
One of the most touching moments came during her “Adventureland” set, when Katy invited fans in costume to join her for a song.

Katy took a heartfelt moment to thank him directly, and the Garden erupted in cheers.

Keith Urban Rocks Gilford!
Keith Urban Rocks Gilford!

Keith Urban lit up the Bank of NH Pavilion in Gilford, NH last night with a killer mix of new hits from High and all the fan favorites we love. Shredding guitars, stunning lights, and so much love for his fans — this was country rock at its best!
On Thursday night, country megastar Keith Urban brought his unmistakable mix of rock-infused country, jaw-dropping guitar work, and heartfelt fan connection to the Bank of NH Pavilion in Gilford, NH — and it was a night fans won’t soon forget. Supported by a trio of up-and-coming openers — Karley Scott Collins, Alana Springsteen, and Chase Matthew — Urban’s show proved once again why his loyal fanbase keeps coming back tour after tour.
The evening kicked off with Karley Scott Collins, who wasted no time showing Gilford what a country-rock powerhouse she’s becoming. Her third song, a gutsy cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” brought out her classic rock roots loud and clear. Her guitar player, looking every bit like he’d just strolled in from a heavy metal dive, shredded alongside her, while her bassist’s solo during “The Chain” practically launched the crowd out of their seats.
Despite a short set, Collins made a lasting impression — and fans were thrilled when she announced she’d be out at the merch table to meet them personally. It’s no wonder Keith Urban’s openers often end up stealing a few hearts of their own.
Next up was Alana Springsteen, who bounded on stage with infectious energy and a voice made for stadium country singalongs. Borrowing a fan’s hat mid-set to belt out a song for the exes, Springsteen had the crowd in the palm of her hand. She mixed her own songs with a fan-favorite cover of Carrie Underwood’s “Before He Cheats,” turning the entire venue into a cathartic chorus of scorned lovers.
Backed by her acoustic guitar and a band that matched her rock edge, Springsteen proved she’s a name to watch — and kept the energy dial turned up for what was still to come.
Chase Matthew took the third slot and transformed the lawn into a full-blown party. With songs like “We Just Wanna Party” and “No Way Around It,” he hit his sweet spot as a Tennessee boy with a classic rock backbone.
Then he blew the lid off the place: covering AC/DC’s “Back in Black”, the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Give It Away”, Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name”, and ending with a blistering “Highway to Hell.” By the time he was done, the entire Pavilion was on its feet, primed for Keith Urban’s main event.
Keith Urban - The Main Event
When Keith Urban finally hit the stage, the anticipation reached a fever pitch — and he delivered from the first note. With a new album, High, in tow, Urban balanced fresh tracks with fan-favorite anthems, giving the crowd both what they knew by heart and what they didn’t yet know they needed.
Urban shredded his way through early highlights like “Summer Night” and “As Messed Up as Me,” flanked by three top-tier guitarists, thunderous percussion, and atmospheric keys. The lighting rig turned the Pavilion into a cinematic dreamscape — shifting from moody blue ballads to explosive strobes that matched Urban’s solos lick for lick.
Mid-show highlights included a raucous “Somewhere in My Car” and an impromptu jam on “Back of a Cop Car,” reminding everyone that whether he’s burning up the fretboard or crooning love songs, Keith Urban remains one of the best live acts in any genre.
For a few magical hours, Keith Urban and his hand-picked openers reminded New Hampshire exactly why we keep coming back — for the music, for the moments, and for the memories that last long after the lights go down.
