Noah Sebastian, Nicholas Ruffilo, Joakim “Jolly” Karlsson and Nick Folio aka Bad Omens performed in Nottingham on the 2nd of March. The show was completely sold out and it was meant to take place at the Rescue Rooms but it had to be moved to the Rock City instead because of big demand. But it wasn’t the only tour date that was so popular and had to change venues. A significant sign of their popularity is three sold-out London shows in a row. We were lucky enough to attend their show in Nottingham. From the very first second the band appeared on stage, the fans started moving and screaming.
For the second song “ARTIFICIAL SUICIDE“, the band’s frontman Noah Sebastian put on a black balaclava, which made his performance even more intense. All four band members wore black and the stage design was futuristic. Each song had special visuals on the screen that matched the atmosphere of each song. During “Just Pretend” – one of their most popular and anticipated songs – fans sang their lungs out together with the vocalist. Towards the end of the song, Noah asked everyone to turn the cell phone flashlights which made the performance of the emotional song even better. During their performance, the band’s frontman mentioned, that the whole EU/UK tour is now completely sold out for which he thanked all of their fans.
Bad Omens is a group of high-class professionals who are exactly where they need to be. Their success is definitely well deserved and their natural talent will bring even more exposure. Hopefully, we’ll see them perform at the arenas next. You can see a few crowd shots from their performance in Nottingham.
