Fort Worth, Tx and a sold out  crowd in Dickies Arena were on their feet with all eyes on Shinedown last August 28, 2025. Brent Smith knows how to command a room and put on a show. Live Nation, the production team, and the venue put in great work for Shinedown’s Dance, Kid, Dance Tour. Featuring Bush and Morgan Wade, the fans were not left wanting. It was a truly memorable experience.

The talented Morgan Wade opens for the tour and does a great job of letting you know that the party is coming in hot. With 3 studio albums, 2 EPs, and 12 singles, she is country music’s rising star. And there’s something unique about her sound blending the genre with grunge and alternative and seamlessly transitioning from hard rhythms to mellow vibes. She sounds great live. She’s one to look out for.

Bush is immortal. Gavin Rossdale is a legend. I can still remember a video of their classic performance of “Glycerine” from Woodstock ’99 and he sounded just as good when he performed this song for us during the tour. Bush has been around since 1992 and is easily one of the most successful post-grunge, alternative rock bands. They performed all their timeless hits while adding in songs from their newly released album “I Beat Loneliness“. I could listen to them play all night and I was not alone.

Shinedown is raw energy and pure tenacity from start to finish. Pyro, fireworks, and an iron grasp of the sold out crowd through their stage presence is what Shinedown is all about. You can’t ever question their charisma or commitment to deliver an amazing show. The photo gallery below does not even begin to express the immense sentiment that resonated with the crowd that night. Can I get a witness?! A well deserved standing ovation.

The tour may be over but Shinedown will have more coming. And you best not miss the next show. Follow them HERE for more updates on the band, new music, and future tours.
