Halestorm stormed into the Kia Forum on July 25 with the confidence and force of a band that knows exactly how to own an arena. From the instant the first riff rang out, Lzzy Hale’s voice soared across the massive space — sharp, powerful, and unyielding. The band dove between bone-crushing rockers and anthemic sing-alongs, keeping the momentum high and the crowd on their feet.
Guitarist Joe Hottinger unleashed a steady stream of blistering leads, while Josh Smith’s bass held the low end tight against Arejay Hale’s thunderous, show-stealing drumming. Midway through the night, the band slipped in a few fresh tracks from their upcoming album, offering glimpses of a heavier, more dynamic side.
The set closed with an unexpected twist — a full-throttle cover of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Perry Mason” that sent fans into overdrive. By the final chord, Halestorm had proven once again why they’re one of modern rock’s most dependable live powerhouses.
