“Filled with pyro, extreme lighting, sonic booms, and their entire catalogue of hits, this was an adrenaline rush entering your veins from start to finish.”
–Annunziato Scaglione, National Rock Review, 5/19/18
“It’s an all out assault on the senses when [Godsmack] start getting into their second set. Broad and bold, this band makes its mark and if all you can remember after 3 days is Godsmack, then success fostered its way to your memory bank and you leave wanting more.”
–Charlotte Alexander, Go Venue Magazine (Welcome to Rockville), 5/9/18
“Godsmack were about to literally blow things up…the Massachusetts rockers put on a high energy show with all the bells and whistles including smoke, fire, and plenty of pyro.”
