Waterparks have officially kicked off their Fandom Tour in support of their new album of the same name!
Fandom dropped on October 11, marking the band's debut release with Hopeless Records. It follows last year's Entertainment, and features singles "Turbulent," "Watch What Happens Next," "Dream Boy," [Reboot]," "High Definition" and "Easy to Hate." (You can read our album review here!)
Waterparks kicked off the Fandom Tour on November 15 at Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta, and are scheduled to hit up cities throughout the US before closing out the run December 23 at Warehouse Live in Houston.
On the tour's opening night, members Awsten Knight, Geoff Wigington and Otto Wood live debuted 14 songs, including 11 off the new album.
Fans in attendance heard Fandom's "Cherry Red," "Watch What Happens Next," "Dream Boy," "Easy to Hate," "High Definition," "I Miss Having Sex But At Least I Don't Wanna Die Anymore," "Worst," "War Crimes," "[Reboot]," "Zone Out" and "I Felt Younger When We Met."
Waterparks also debuted two medleys of songs from their first and second records, Double Dare and Entertainment, fittingly called "Double Dare 2019" and "Entertainment 2019." The most surprising debut? A rendition of the National Anthem!
Some other highlights from their 19-song set included Double Dare tracks "21 Questions" and "Stupid For You," Entertainment favorites "Blonde" and "Lucky People" and a Q&A session with the audience.
Here's the entire setlist:
