On October 13th, 2026, the Violent Nature Tour reached its finish line at the Velodrom in Berlin. Wrapping up a massive run across Europe, I PREVAIL, GORE. and POLARIS gave it their all for the final stop.
GORE.‘s frontwoman, Haley Roughton, easily switched between beautiful clean melodies and heavy growls. They brought some seriously heavy bass drops that you could feel in the floor, but also created a really cool atmosphere when the fans lit up the dark arena with their cellphones during the song “Doomsday.”
Next up, POLARIS perfectly balanced raw aggression with genuine emotion. Frontman Jamie Hails had no trouble getting the crowd to open huge mosh pits. At the same time, the whole arena loudly sang along to tracks like “Without You.” They wrapped up their heavy set with “Nightmare,” leaving everyone completely out of breath and sweating. Their performance was incredibly intense, unifying, and easily carried the weight of a co-headline set.
When it was time for I PREVAIL, they kicked things off with the Gorillaz track “Clint Eastwood” as an intro before revealing a huge stage production. The band brought big video screens, fireworks, and giant bursts of fire. Vocalists Eric Vanlerberghe and Brian Burkheiser worked together perfectly, mixing aggressive screams with huge, catchy choruses that kept the crowd moving.
The setlist was packed with special moments to close out the tour. Jamie from POLARIS came out to scream with them for “Violent Nature,” and later Haley from GORE. joined the stage for a vocal duet on “Paradise.” Toward the end of the night, drummer Gabe Helguera played a huge drum solo. Singer Eric Vanlerberghe then announced they would skip a traditional encore, choosing instead to put all their remaining energy straight into the final songs. It was a loud, fiery, and perfect way to end the tour.
