Three great bands under one roof!
The stage was set, the lights dimmed, and the energy in the air was palpable as fans eagerly awaited a night of pure musical magic at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, TX last night.
The concert, featuring the powerhouse lineup of Mammoth WVH, Sevendust, and Alter Bridge, promised a rollercoaster of emotions, genre-spanning riffs, and vocal prowess that would resonate long after the final notes faded into the night.
MAMMOTH WVH
Kicking off the electrifying evening was Mammoth WVH, fronted by the remarkably talented Wolfgang Van Halen.
Opening with their eponymous track “Mammoth,” the band wasted no time in showcasing their distinctive sound that effortlessly fused rock, classic vibes, and modern elements. Wolfgang’s lineage was evident in his masterful command over the guitar, which he wielded as both a melodic instrument and a vehicle for storytelling.
Backed by a band of virtuosos, Wolfgang proved that Mammoth WVH is more than just a musical endeavor—it’s a testament to the next generation of rock. Garrett Whitlock’s drumming was a force to be reckoned with, adding a driving rhythm that infused each song with an irresistible energy. Frank Sidoris, known for his work with Slash’s band, was a guitar maestro, effortlessly weaving classic rock tones into the contemporary fabric of the music.
SEVENDUST
SEVENDUST, who seized the stage with an undeniable presence. Their attention to the energy of their surroundings was remarkable, creating an intimate connection with the thousands-strong audience.
Their performance felt like a gathering of family members, sharing a moment of musical unity.

ALTER BRIDGE
Alter Bridge, a seasoned force in the rock world, took the stage next, and the crowd’s anticipation reached a crescendo. Frontman Myles Kennedy, often hailed as one of rock’s best vocalists, solidified this reputation with a performance that defied comparison. His voice soared through the venue, hitting every note with precision and emotion. From the anthemic choruses to the tender moments, Kennedy’s vocal delivery was an experience in itself, leaving the audience captivated and moved.
Mark Tremonti’s guitar prowess was nothing short of awe-inspiring, shifting effortlessly between blistering solos and soulful melodies. With tracks like “Pawns and Kings” and “Watch Over You,” Tremonti showcased the full spectrum of his musical range, leaving no doubt as to why he’s considered one of the decade’s most remarkable guitarists. The concert’s dynamic wasn’t just about individual acts—it was about the harmonious interplay of talents that created a sonic journey greater than the sum of its parts.
