I PREVAIL/THREE DAYS GRACE
I Prevail/Three Days Grace, The Giant Center, Hershey, PA 3/1/2026
As a fan of both I Prevail and Three Days Grace, I was thrilled to see them perform at the Giant Center. The night delivered exactly the kind of high-energy rock show fans were hoping for.
I Prevail kicked things off with “NWO,” a track from their 2025 album Violent Nature. From the opening moments, the stage erupted with pyro blasting across the set, instantly setting an intense tone for the night. One of the biggest surprises came when the band broke into a powerful cover of Metallica’s “Sad But True,” which caught the audience off guard and quickly became one of the standout moments of their set. They wrapped up their performance with “Gasoline,” and the title proved fitting—pyrotechnics exploded throughout the song, ending their set in a blaze of fire and energy.
Three Days Grace followed with an explosive entrance. Drummer Neil Sanderson burst onto the stage through a haze of smoke before introducing vocalists Adam Gontier and Matt Walst. The band launched into “Dominate,” a track from their 2025 album Alienation, immediately igniting the crowd.
The audience erupted when the band played their 2006 hit “Animal I Have Become,” with nearly everyone in the arena singing along and bouncing to the beat. Midway through the set, they performed “I Hate Everything About You,” a personal favorite that instantly transported me back to the first time I heard it in 2003.
The band also slowed things down for a memorable acoustic segment, performing three stripped-down songs before delivering a touching cover of Three Doors Down’s “Here Without You” as a tribute to the late Brad Arnold.
They closed the main set with the hard-hitting “Painkiller,” then returned for an encore that perfectly capped the night. “Never Too Late” and “Riot” sent the crowd home on a high note, bringing an unforgettable evening of rock to a powerful finish.
