In This Moment and this stadium go back a while. At Rock on the Range in 2012, PopMatters found Maria Brink dressed as a high-ranking general, her bandmates styled like they'd crawled out of a foxhole, and one couple in the crowd so caught up that they got engaged onstage during the set. Seven years later, at the first Sonic Temple in 2019, Cleveland.com counted Brink cycling from a black cloak to a flowing white dress to a cobalt blue outfit inside one short set. Costume changes are not a side detail with this band. They're the format.
The band itself dates to 2005, built around Brink and guitarist Chris Howorth. Blood, in 2012, went gold and was the turning point. Black Widow (2014) reached No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and Ritual (2017) No. 23. Mother arrived in 2020, Godmode in 2023.
Witch, out August 28, 2026, is album number nine and their first for Better Noise Music. Brink called it "my declaration of inner transformation." Dayseeker and Kat Von D both appear on it, and so does Kim Dracula, who is on this weekend's lineup too, on Saturday. They spent that fall co-headlining a revived Taste of Chaos tour with Hollywood Undead.
