THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA ENDS TOUR WITH A NIGHT TO REMEMBER IN NASHVILLE
BROOKLYN BOWL — NASHVILLE, TN
The Devil Wears Prada finished their FLOWERS TOUR in Nashville at Brooklyn Bowl this past Sunday, March 12. The band had a successful run, playing over 20 cities in a month, and they chose Nashville as their final stop. They didn’t take the stage alone, bringing support from I Promised The World, Split Chain, and Four Year Strong. The tour supported TDWP’s latest album, Flowers, which was released at the end of 2025.
I Promised The World started the night and delivered a fun set to the crowd. While their music feels fresh and youthful, it carries a rawness that feels familiar. I could hear influences from bands like Glassjaw and Alexisonfire. They only played seven songs, but the crowd fed off their energy and moved along with the band. Highlights from their set included “Future Worth Dying For” and “Don’t Just Stand There.”
The next band came all the way from the UK, and by the end of the night, everyone knew their name: Split Chain. Their grit and confidence were contagious. Their frontman invited fans to mosh and crowdsurf, and the crowd responded almost immediately. The guttural screams stood out, and highlights of their set were “Future” and “I’m Not Dying to Be Here.”
The venue was already reverberating by the time Four Year Strong played their first notes. The band has been around since 2001 and delivered a setlist filled with both old and new hits. Their performance felt like a collaboration with their loyal fans, who screamed every lyric back at them. I even caught myself singing while photographing, reliving the nostalgia of when I first saw them in 2014. Fans crowdsurfed nonstop during their set, and the energy kept building. My favorites were “It Must Really Suck to Be Four Year Strong Right Now” and “Wasting Time (Eternal Summer)”—seeing the entire crowd sing along so loudly was almost emotional.
Lastly, we had a beautiful closing to the Flowers Tour chapter as The Devil Wears Prada took the stage and fans roared. The band has been a staple in metalcore since 2005, and years later, we’re now seeing entire families attending their shows. Parents brought their children and rocked out together, which was a beautiful sight. Guitarist and clean vocalist Jeremy DePoyster mentioned that he now calls Nashville home, and despite the city’s reputation for not going hard at rock shows, he said he felt the complete opposite in that moment. The mosh pit, crowdsurfers, and fans screaming every lyric proved him right. Their set ran over an hour and blended new songs with longtime fan favorites. Highlights of the night included “Salt” and one of their encores, “Hey John, What’s Your Name Again?”
Overall, the final night of the FLOWERS TOUR felt like more than a concert: it was a celebration of community, nostalgia, and the energy of the metalcore scene. Every band brought something unique to the stage, building momentum throughout the night that culminated in a powerful closing performance. Ending the tour in Nashville was the perfect choice, and it left everyone with an unforgettable experience and a fitting conclusion to a successful run.
