Midway through Alkaline Trio’s concert in Cleveland on Friday, frontman and guitarist Matt Skiba said he didn’t think everyone would make it after the past few years, let alone get 2,000 people in a room together for a concert. “Covid happened, I thought it was curtains for all of us,” Skiba told the crowd at the Agora Theatre.
Midway through Alkaline Trio’s concert in Cleveland on Friday, frontman and guitarist Matt Skiba said he didn’t think everyone would make it after the past few years, let alone get 2,000 people in a room together for a concert.
The fans, of course, roared. And while his statement came well into the band’s 20-song show, it set the tone for the night. The band, firmly in its third decade and armed with a catalog of emo and goth-tinged punk rock, seemed happy to be playing and basked in the adoration of the sold-out audience. The vibe put off by the members was that they are in a good spot. While the band never went away , Skiba’s time over the past decade as the guitarist and co-lead singer of blink-182 gave him less bandwidth to put out material with his main project. Now, with original blink-182 singer Tom DeLonge back in that fold, it appears Skiba’s determined to focus on his own trio.
The rabid audience sang along to every song, new and old. They reacted loudest for earlier tunes like “Fuck You Aurora,” “Mr. Chainsaw” and show closer “Radio.”
