Staind & Breaking Benjamin Rock Homdel

The Staind and Breaking Benjamin concert at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ on September 16, 2024, was a core display of a mixture of metal, rock and acoustic sounds. With
Staind headlining this evening and opening support from Lakeview and co-headliner Breaking Benjamin, everyone inside would be blessed with an incredible night of music.

Breaking Benjamin kicked off their set at 7:55 PM, delivering fan favorites like “So Cold,” “I Will Not Bow,” and “Polyamorous.” It never fails to shock me seeing a band that has played for
over 2 decades still sound amazing and perform together as masters of their crafts. Their blend of heavy riffs and melodic vocals kept the energy high throughout their performance from start to finish.

Staind followed with an emotional and hard-hitting performance that included songs like “Outside” and “It’s Been Awhile,” resonating deeply with the crowd. “So Far Away” is one
specifically that brings me back in time with blends of memories crashing in. Aaron Lewis’ raw, gravelly vocals brought a strong nostalgic feeling, as he gives his all with the band playing
behind him, or while going solo and letting the acoustics range.

As I entered the show, from the start of the evening the crowd was full. The venue’s acoustics and full sound complemented both bands, creating an immersive experience for the audience. Overall, it was a memorable night of rock, nostalgia, and powerful performances, making it a must-see for fans of the genre.
