Parkway Drive Brings the Heat to Oshkosh: A Night of Unstoppable Metal

If you’ve ever had the privilege of witnessing Parkway Drive live, you know that every show is an experience that transcends the traditional concert. The Australian metalcore giants brought their Monsters of Oz tour to Oshkosh Arena in Wisconsin, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The crowd had been buzzing with excitement for weeks, and Parkway Drive delivered on every level, reminding us why they’re still one of the best in the game.

From the moment the lights went down, the intensity was palpable. The arena erupted in a frenzy as the band launched into their opening track, “Glitch,” a perfect choice to set the tone for the night. With a setlist that spanned their impressive catalog, fans were treated to a blend of old-school classics like “Carrion” and “Wild Eyes” alongside newer bangers like “The Void” and “Glitch.” Each song was a sonic assault, played with a precision and energy that can only come from a band that’s been on the road as long as they have.

As the night drew to a close, Parkway Drive delivered a fittingly epic finale that left the crowd in awe. The soaring riffs and thunderous drums reached a fever pitch, with frontman Winston McCall commanding the stage like a true force of nature. But it wasn’t just the music that left a lasting impression—the band’s use of pyro was nothing short of spectacular. Explosions of fire lit up the arena with every intense drop, adding an extra layer of spectacle to the already electrifying performance. It was clear that Parkway Drive had come to Oshkosh not just to play a show, but to put on a full-on, heart-pounding experience. As the final flames flickered out and the last notes rang through the arena, the crowd was left with the undeniable feeling that this was a concert they would remember for years to come.
