2024 – Baltimore, MD

Story of the Year are currently on the second leg of their Page Avenue 20th anniversary tour and stopped to perform at Rams Head Live! in Baltimore, MD. They are touring till the end of January with support from Youth Fountain and We The Kings. I was very excited to cover this show because I have been a fan of Story of the Year since they opened for Linkin Park back in 2004 and they have been one of my favorites since then. The 20th anniversary show was a phenomenal evening consisting of belted ballads, entertaining stage presence, and non-stop energy!

Anyway, continue reading below for more photos of Story of the Year and my full review of the show. Be sure to check out Story of the Year’s website for music, videos, news, and tickets for all upcoming tour dates. All images copyright and courtesy of John Krebs.

Asking Alexandria stopped to perform at Rams Head Live! in Baltimore, MD on 9/7/2023. The band is currently on their “Psycho Thunder Tour” with support from Zero 9:36 and The Hu. One of the major sounds of my freshman year in college was Danny Worsnop screaming the words “Oh my God!” followed by heavy and insane guitar riffs. I have been a fan of Asking Alexandria for years and this was my first time seeing them perform live. This concert was an amazing spectacle and the crowd never stopped moving!

Wow. That’s incredible.

Concert Review: They Might Be Giants @ Rams Head Live 12/18/22 — Baltimore, MD

Alternative rock pioneers They Might Be Giants played for a sold out crowd at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, MD on 12/18/2022. Most of the dates on this tour were sold out, and for good reason. TMBG were celebrating the 40th Anniversary as a band, as well as the release of their 1990 album, Flood. This show honestly felt and sounded like a celebration.

If you were unable to see TMBG in 2022, check the Official TMBG Website for 2023 tour dates. Also be sure to check out TMBG newest album, BOOK. Continue reading below for more pics and my full review. All images copyright and courtesy of Andy Jillson.

Fortunately for me I was able to photograph Amyl and the Sniffers in Baltimore this past May. Holy shit. What an amazing show! Super intense performance. Australian punk rock mixed with super sweaty aerobics. It was hard keeping up with the band. This was the last show of their US tour and they played like champions. Bravo!

Anyway, in this photo flashback we’re viewing images from Amyl and the Sniffers’ performance at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, MD on 5/22/2022. Be sure to check the Official Amyl and the Sniffers Website for music, news, and upcoming tour dates. All images copyright and courtesy of Andy Jillson.

That’s right kids! GWAR landed at Rams Head Live in Baltimore, MD on September 29, 2019 and bathed the adoring audience in alien blood, semen, and other bodily fluids. I was there in a white painter’s suit taking pictures — slipping and sliding around in the photo pit like a madman; or in this case GWAR’S human slave pit.
