Bad Omens
American Airlines Center — Dallas, TX

Bad Omens formed in 2015 and built their following the hard way—through relentless touring and releasing music independently before signing to Sumerian Records. The LA metalcore band, fronted by Noah Sebastian, made noise with their self-titled debut and really solidified things with Finding God Before God Finds You, an album that hit harder both sonically and lyrically. They've become known for songs that balance crushing riffs with genuinely catchy melodies, which is harder to pull off than it sounds. The band doesn't shy away from heavier material but they're not afraid of hooks either. They've consistently toured their ass off, building one of metalcore's more devoted fanbases in the process. Their live energy is reflective of the crowd they attract—intense but not toxic.

Bad Omens shows get loud and physical without feeling reckless. The pit stays relatively controlled but absolutely moving. Noah Sebastian commands the stage naturally, not trying too hard. The crowd sings along to everything. People are there for the band, not their phones.

Known for THE WORST IN ME, STOP THE TIME, ARTIFICIAL SUICIDE, RECKLESS, LIKE A MIRACLE

Bad Omens rolled through Globe Life Field on November 8th and leaned into the darker corners of their catalog. They opened with the industrial grind of "CONCRETE JUNGLE" and kept things heavy throughout, hitting "THE DRAIN" and the hypnotic "Limits" in ways that felt deliberately chosen. "Just Pretend" landed with the weight of a closer, though they still had "Dethrone" left to burn the place down. It's the kind of set that rewards people who actually know the band beyond the singles.

Dallas has a solid metalcore and heavy music following, though it's often overshadowed by the city's country and hip-hop dominance. Still, venues here know how to pack a room for touring metal acts, and the Texas metal scene has always had an underdog energy that tends to mesh well with bands building their reputation through constant touring.

Stay in Uptown or the Design District — both have actual walkability and better restaurants than most of the city. Hit Uchi for inventive Japanese food before the show, or Mister Charles for French-leaning bistro cooking. Spend an afternoon in the Nasher Sculpture Center if you want something quieter; it's genuinely good and way less crowded than you'd expect. Deep Ellum's worth walking through for the murals and general vibe, though keep expectations modest. The Sixth Floor Museum covers JFK's assassination if you want something weightier. Catch drinks somewhere in Bishop Arts before heading to the venue.
