Electric Callboy
Yuengling Center — Tampa, FL

Electric Callboy started as a German metalcore band with electronic flourishes, then basically reinvented themselves around 2020 when they shifted toward a more synth-heavy, industrial-influenced sound. The shift wasn't some gradual drift—it was pretty deliberate. Songs like 'Ava' and 'Pump It' showed them leaning hard into melodic, almost pop-adjacent hooks while keeping the heaviness intact, which shouldn't work but somehow does. They're the kind of band that makes sense in a room full of people who like both Bring Me The Horizon and actual electronic music. Their lyrics tend toward introspection and relationships rather than the typical metalcore angst, which gives them a different vibe than a lot of their peers. They've built a genuinely dedicated fanbase partly because they don't seem interested in playing it safe.

Chaotic in the best way. Crowd's constantly moving, mixing mosh pits with people just vibing to the synths. Singer is genuinely engaged, band plays with precision even when everything feels loose. Heavy moments hit hard, melodic moments connect.

Tampa's got a solid underground metal contingent, though the city tends to lean heavier into hip-hop and indie rock at the mainstream level. The metalcore and progressive metal crowd here is tight-knit and vocal, which means Electric Callboy's blend of crushing heaviness with accessible hooks should find real ears. Venue support for touring metal bands has been solid when they come through.

Skip the strip and head to Hyde Park, Tampa's most livable neighborhood with tree-lined streets, independent shops, and genuine character. Stay nearby and eat at The Bricks of Hyde Park for elevated Southern cuisine in a refurbished historic building. Spend an afternoon at the Dali Museum in nearby St. Petersburg—it's legitimately world-class and a solid hour drive but worth it. Walk along Bayshore Boulevard at sunset before the show. The whole vibe is understated enough that Johnson will feel like the most exciting thing happening all weekend.
