A Sonic Smash: Beartooth Electrifies the Kia Forum

Photographer: Paul 'Sal' Salazar

Three flashes of white signaled the crowd's excitement for the next great act on the lineup that Thursday night. Enter: BEARTOOTH. The ocean of blue lights fades out, and a fierce red burns through the atmosphere. On stage, a profusion of barricades didn’t seem to dampen the crowd's energy. 

BEARTOOTH’s lead singer, former ATTACK ATTACK! vocalist Caleb Shomo, strutted onto the stage rocking a leopard print coat that added drama to the night’s performance. Since 2012, BEARTOOTH has been leading the electronicore/post-hardcore scene and hasn’t slowed down since. 

That night, the Kia Forum became a kaleidoscope of fans, both old and new, with captivating melodies resonating throughout the forum and telling sobering tales of coming of age. It was a sonic smash as they prepared to end their 2026 tour with PRESIDENT and BAD OMENS.
