Photo Series: The Story So Far at Aragon Ballroom Chicago
The Story So Far brought the 'I Want To Disappear in the USA' tour to Chicago last month. Check out how it went!
After years of anticipation, The Story So Far released their fifth studio album ‘I Want To Disappear’ in late June 2024. Not long after the drop and much positive feedback from fans, the band announced a US run to tour on the new release.
I was very lucky to catch the second show of the tour in Chicago at Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom on 11/22. With openers Koyo and Superheaven, both performed sets of unique sounds with heavy hitters, heavy riffs, and even heavier emotions.
When The Story So Far took stage, the energy in the room hit peak. Not a second between songs went by when there wasn’t a crowd surfer being passed up to barricade, a pit open in the middle of the venue, or fans screaming lyrics back to the band. This show celebrated the new sounds, older fan favorites, and everything in between.
Opening with “Big Blind” off the new record maneuvering into a classic “The Glass” off of What You Don’t See released in 2013 back into a middle ground of “Out of It” from Proper Dose released in 2018, new and old fans alike got to experience songs that truly shaped the pop-punk scene.
Ending the night with maybe one of their most notorious songs “Quicksand”, the energy and emotions stayed high every second leading up. Capturing this show behind the lens was an experience I am grateful to have gotten. Check out the photo series below, and be sure to catch this tour that still has plenty of upcoming remaining dates!
