As the sun was fully set the stage was dark, two men come out one a violinist the other a cellist, they were dark images under blue lights. Skillet proceeded onto stage; members are John Cooper-Vocals-Bass, Korey CooperRhythm guitar, Keyboards, Backing Vocals, Seth Morrison-Guitar, and Jen Ledger-Drums, Backing Vocals. Skillet started their set with “Whispers In The Dark” The violin and cello added a degree of intensity to it. As they broke into their second song “Hero” smoked streamed up from the front of the stage. Jen pounded on the drums while doing backup vocals. They kept their set going with great enthusiasm with “Sick Of It” as the crowd got into the song. Korey sang backup vocals, played guitar and the keyboards for “Comatose”. The stage was set with risers Korey and Seth would go up and down on the risers playing intensely.

For the beginning of “Awake and Alive” John and Jen did a duet as the violinist and cellist went up and down on the risers. The next four songs were “Last Night”, “Not Going to Die”, and “Circus for a Psycho” and “Monster” all was hard, heavy and well played.

“Rebirthing” was the last song of the set. Skillet played non-stop with great intensity.
