Varials, a metalcore band from Philadelphia, PA, sold out The Winchester last Friday, March 13, 2026, in Lakewood, OH. With their openers Boltcutter, Heavy Hitter, and Unity TX taking the stage before them, the crowd was amped up and ready to mosh. 

Varials played a variety of songs from their albums, with the majority off their most recent album, Where the Light Leaves. Overall, the show had great energy with lots of stage diving, crowd interaction, and solid merch to add to my black sweatshirt collection.
