American rock band All Time Low treated their fans to a wild and crazy Friday night as they returned to Manila for their All Time Low Forever Tour last Friday, May 3.

Presented by local concert organizer PULP Live World, the rock band brought their nostalgic songs to their Filipino Hustlers as part of their 20th year celebration.

“We’re back! The energy here is f*cking crazy,” lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist Alex Gaskarth during their opening performance.

The band then took the whole coliseum through a musical journey of their old hits such as “Dear Maria, Count Me In”, “Six Feet Under The Stars”, “Weightless”, “Shameless”, “Jasey Rae”, “Vegas”, and “Somewhere in Neverland”, to surprise songs like “Remembering Sunday” and “Time Bomb” that made everyone scream their hearts out.

“We started this band all the way back in 2003 in Rian (Dawson)’s parents' basement... So now, we are playing halfway around the world to all of you guys,” Alex reminisced.

He added, “20 years into a career… This is pretty f*cking wild, you guys. We wanted to start the show off by throwing it all the way back and playing a bunch of old songs. I hope that’s okay.”

The loud cheers and the overflowing energy from Filo Hustlers also made the band give their best crowd something they never did in their past shows.

“We have a lot of music, and we are going to play all of them tonight. There’s something for everyone. I said I don’t wanna ever stop playing in Manila. We’ll do 85 songs,” Alex joked, revealing how the Manila stop has the longest setlist they ever have in a tour.

“I’m having such a good f*cking time,” he expressed.

The American band also relieved and unlocked the punk emo era of all the Filipino fans as they sang more of their songs like “Monsters”, “Backseat Serenade”, “Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don’t)”, “Glitter & Crimson”. they also gave a little shout-out to Avril Lavigne who they collaborated with their 2023 single “Fake As Hell”.

“20 years of All Time Low. It means the absolute f*cking world to us that we get to come all this way to play to all of you from time to time again,” Alex expressed while lovingly looking at the whole crowd who joined them for their third visit to the country.

 All Time Low also extended their gratitude to PULP Live World, who brought them to the country again. Their first Manila stop was Young Renegades tour in 2017, followed by the All Time Low Live in Manila in 2022 and their recent Forever Tour this 2024.

“Working with PULP here in Manila is a pleasure,” Alex said.

Lead guitarist Jack Barakat also thanked everyone as he noticed the posters that were posted at the front area of the stage.

“I feel like you guys put a lot of effort into working on those,” Jack said.

Alex added, “I was saving this, but now you’re pointing it out, I’m just gonna cry a little bit. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much! It’s amazing. Thank you!”

Filled with gratitude and excitement to give to their fans, All Time Low promised their fans more years of music and that they will return again for another night to remember.

“Thank you and let’s keep it going. We’ll see you again soon!” Alex said to their Filo Hustlers as they ended their show.

 Bass guitarist Zack Merrick also took to his social media page to share his happiness with performing in front of their Filipino Hustlers.

“Manila you will be hard to top 🔥🔥🔥,” he penned.
