By Rockers Theory Of A Deadman and Skillet took to the road for the Rock Resurrection Tour. This tour is a co-headlining tour giving both bands equal stage time. The tour kicked off on February 17th in Gary, Indiana and wraps up on March 26th in Los Angeles, California.
On February 24th, 2023 the Rock Resurrection Tour made a stop to the Santander Arena in Reading, Pennsylvania. Theory Of A Deadman & Skillet brought Saint Asonia along as direct support on the tour.
Supergroup Saint Asonia kicked off the night of the sold out show. Founding guitarist Mike Mushok is not a part of this tour so the band brought in Tavis Stanley (Adelita’s Way/Art Of Dying) to cover his absence. The whole band including Tavis did an incredible job. It was nice to see a few Three Days Grace songs thrown into the setlist.
Setlist:
1. Better Place
2. Above It All
3. The Hunted
4. Never Too Late (Three Days Grace cover)
5. I Hate Everything About You (Three Days Grace cover)
