P.O.D. takes the stage and jumps right into “Boom” from their 2001 album, Satellite. “Here comes the Boom!” sings the lead singer, Sonny Sandoval, as the audience dances along.

They follow this up with “Rock the Party (Off the Hook)” from their 1999 album, The Fundamental Elements of Southtown. “We came to rock the party all night long!” This song features fantastic guitar work that fully energizes the crowd. 

Later on, they play “Youth of the Nation”, which is their most popular song on Spotify with over 337 million streams. “We are, we are the youth of the nation!” The whole band shines on this classic track that still sounds excellent today. 

Sandoval comments on how this is the smallest crowd they have played for on this tour. This is likely because their set started so early at 5:40pm. However, he says, your energy matches the larger crowds!

They close their set with “Alive”. “I feel so alive, for the very first time, and I think I can fly!” This song and the band are iconic. They are still going strong after 30 years together.
