9/14/2023 was a good day in the city of Philadelphia - the Eagles won their first home game of the season and The Band CAMINO kicked off their Screaming in the Dark Tour at the Met Philly. Both events had die-hard screaming fans, although there may have been a few more at the Linc.

The Band CAMINO is touring their most recent album, The Dark, which was released this past August. They really leaned into the ‘dark’ theme with the production of the show using blacklights and neon paint splatters on the stage and started off the show with their song ‘Afraid of the Dark’.

The Band CAMINO is unique in that it has two lead singers - both Spencer Stewart and Jeffery Jordan take turns leading the song and singing backing vocals. The tour setlist spanned their whole discography, from 2/14 and The Black and White from their first EP released in 2016 to a selection of songs from their most recent album released in 2023. They included an acoustic section where they played a medley of songs and even took some requests from the crowd (including a cover of Back to December by Taylor Swift, because you have to play Taylor when you’re in PA)

They did mention this is the most songs they’ve ever included in a setlist - they have a lot of years of music to cover with a lot of the fan favorites being their earlier songs. The highlight of the show was when they played See Through - the whole crowd was screaming all of the words; and if you know that song, you know there are a LOT of words. The show wrapped with a three song encore which included fan favorite Berenstein and finished the set with Daphne Blue like they do every show. 

The Screaming in the Dark Tour is continuing throughout the US and Canada through October so there are plenty of opportunities to see this tour! Definitely a must see! Do yourselves a massive favor in the meantime and enjoy our photo gallery below to get a taste of what you may have missed.
