PORTLAND — A Day to Remember has been trekking across the country for the past few months on their “Just Some Shows” tour, and the Florida pop punk outfit rolled into Moda Center’s Theater of the Clouds on Monday to perform for a packed house. Beginning with the crunchy opening chords of “The Downfall of Us All,” fans were on their feet as the band tore through a 20-song set that leaned heavily on their early catalog, while still peppering in some more recent offerings.
Frontman Jeremy McKinnon hardly stopped moving for the duration of the 90-minute performance, roaming all over the stage and frequently interacting with fans in the front row. The evening turned interactive a few times, as McKinnon invited fans in the upper sections of the venue to twirl their shirts and jackets in the air, or bat around the dozens of beach balls that were launched into the crowd about midway through the set. Live staples “2nd Sucks” and “Mr. Highway’s Thinking About the End” were met with thunderous ovations, and melodic fare like “Have Faith in Me” and “If It Means a Lot to You” turned into enthusiastic singalongs.
A Day to Remember will wrap up their current touring plans at the end of this month with an appearance at the When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas. After a few weeks of recuperation, they’ll be back on the road for an intimate acoustic tour to close out the remainder of 2022; fans in Europe and the UK can look forward to seeing the band early next year.
