2025 DETOX North American Tour
w/ Stand Atlantic, ONE OK ROCK
The 2025 DETOX Tour rolled into Newark with a vengeance, taking over the Prudential Center for a night of unrelenting energy, crowd connection, and unforgettable performances. With a stacked lineup featuring Stand Atlantic and ONE OK ROCK, fans knew they were in for something special—but nothing could’ve prepared them for the sheer electricity that filled the arena from the first note to the final bow.
Stand Atlantic: Setting the Pace with Fire and Fury
Opening the night was Stand Atlantic, and they wasted no time igniting the crowd. The Australian pop-punk powerhouse burst onto the stage with the kind of urgency that demands attention, launching into a high-energy set that had fists in the air and voices raised in unison. Frontwoman Bonnie Fraser was an absolute force—her stage presence magnetic, her voice raw and emotional, and her energy contagious.
The band tore through fan favorites like “Lavender Bones,” “deathwish,” and “hair out,” with every member locked in and clearly loving every second. Bonnie’s banter between songs only added to the vibe—playful, honest, and totally in sync with the crowd’s energy. It wasn’t just a warm-up set; it was a statement. Stand Atlantic wasn’t there to fill time—they were there to leave a mark, and they absolutely did.
ONE OK ROCK: A Masterclass in Connection and Command
Then came ONE OK ROCK, and if Stand Atlantic lit the match, this Japanese rock juggernaut brought the explosion. From the moment Taka walked on stage, the energy in the room shifted to another level. The band dove headfirst into their set with “Wonder” and never let up. With blistering guitar work, tight rhythms, and vocals that hit you right in the chest, ONE OK ROCK delivered a performance that was as emotionally powerful as it was sonically massive.
What set them apart was their ability to connect—not just perform, but truly connect. Taka’s vocals soared through the arena, matched by the collective voice of thousands singing back every word. From heartfelt ballads like “Wherever You Are” to pulse-pounding anthems like “The Beginning” and “Stand Out Fit In,” every song hit its mark. The crowd wasn’t just watching a show—they were part of it. The energy exchange was electric.
The lighting, visuals, and sound production added layers of atmosphere that enhanced each song, but at the heart of it all was a band that knows how to own a stage. Taka, Toru, Ryota, and Tomoya performed with precision and passion, clearly grateful for the moment and pouring everything they had into it.
Final Thoughts: A Night to Remember
The Prudential Center crowd got more than a concert—they got a full-blown experience. Stand Atlantic delivered a knockout opening performance that proved they’re one of the most exciting acts in the scene right now. ONE OK ROCK followed with a headlining set that felt like both a celebration and a call to arms—a reminder of how powerful live music can be when artists and fans are fully in sync.
As the final notes rang out and the crowd roared with approval, one thing was clear: the DETOX Tour isn’t just living up to expectations—it’s exceeding them.
