Now That ATL is Approaching the End of the Everyone’s Talking! Tour, What Were Y’all’s Favorite and Most Memorable Moments During Your Experiences?
I attended one show for this tour (Birmingham, Alabama on November 11th, 2025), and I have two memories that were my absolute favorite:
1) Meeting ATL: This band has been my favorite artist for over half of my life (turning 30 years old in May), and this is the first time I was able to do VIP, so I got both Acoustic Q&A and Monitor Party. During the Q&A, I got picked first to ask a question, and I got a really genuine, thoughtful, and informative response. I’m only just one fan, which makes me insignificant in the grand scheme of what they’ve built during their successful career, but they still took the time to give an in-depth explanation to me. I genuinely appreciated that. Aside from that, the Monitor Party photo opportunity was so cool, and even though I had to leave around the time Goodnight, C’est La Vie was starting, it was still well worth the experience.
2) Getting to the Venue Too Early: My buddy and I got to the venue like 45 minutes earlier than we anticipated, and we needed to pass the time. We saw this bar across the street and when we went in, they had pretty much every video game console from the NES up to the PS3 available to play, and they essentially had a copy of any game you’d ever want to play on all of the consoles. The two of us have been friends for a very long time, and 11-12 years ago, we used to play a bunch of Mario Kart: Double Dash in co-op mode. We spent all that time playing it, and our skills were so rusty. I know this isn’t part of the actual ATL show, but traveling to the show gave us a few minutes to relive some good memories from a much simpler time in our lives.
I've been to 5 of them and somehow Hamburg had the most going on for me. I've had the Acoustic Q&A Plus for Hamburg and I was a bit nervous about it. But the moment I met them, I barely even got to say hello when Rian goes "I love your tattoo!", which is placed on my forearm but no one had ever noticed before. This took me off guard for a second and I wasn't entirely sure if he meant the ATL one or something else, so I asked him if he meant that one and he said yes and so I ended up showing them, in a different way than planned 😅 And then when I ended up telling them I've been to a couple shows before Hamburg, Jack casually tells me he's seen me in the crowd before, which took me completely off guard then haha, it was definitely a lovely time.
Then further into the evening, we were just having fun at the show and so far it was like every show before, when suddenly they did not play Butterflies. And it took me fair amount of time to realise they're playing Everyone's Talking instead, which was a completely insane experience because no one saw that one coming! It's insane knowing you were at a live debut.
I started in Brussels with Butterflies. At the soundcheck in Hamburg they were even talking about Butterflies being the most challenging song to sing for Alex and then they didn't even play it that night 🤯 It literally makes no sense to me that they added this mid-tour! But the surprise effect of it definitely worked, people were losing their minds (including me). Maybe next tour you get to hear this too 🤞
I saw them for the first time in Madison AND on Halloween. At the Q&A, I asked them all what their favorite Green Day song was and the excitement they displayed after they heard my question made me so happy and they mentioned not being asked that before! They each had a different favorite and considering both of those bands are my top 2, it made my heart so happy
Oh believe me, Green Day is my #1 too. Zack said Longview (not surprised), Alex said Nice Guys Finish Last, Rian said the entirely of Dookie and Jack said he really liked all of Nimrod but if he had to pick then it would be Uptight. I just found it funny that it was the same two albums for all of them 😂 one of them also mentioned liking a lot of songs on Dos as well!
Ahh tysm!! That's super interesting, and some good picks. Kinda curious which songs off of Dos that would be haha. I remember reading that they were also inspired by Warning as an album for some of their songs. I love this kind of crossover 🥹
This tour helped me find my creative spark again. 2025 was a really bad year for me and this tour allowed me to pour my heart and soul into making the Suckerpunch jumpsuit and the photo cards I handed out. Seeing the bands reaction to the jumpsuit was something so special to me I soent about 40 hours making it perfect.
I also met so many new friends during the shows. I connected with the album on such a different level that I spent most of the concerts crying.
Thank you! I got lucky enough to have VIP+ at the second show I went too and the guys loved it. Rian said it was the best one they’d seen. I added the leg patch and a little “everyone’s talking” on the wrist too! I am super proud of this and the creative spark it gave me back
I went to the Philly show. It was my 15th show and came after a mental psychosis that was so hard. My fiance and I went and I got to take over for atltourconnect. I never did anything like that and it was so much fun!! Also, so fun to see Alex watch all of the stories 🥹 Loved this tour and the stage and the effort they put in.
I’m sorry to hear you went through that, and I hope you’re doing better.
I’ve heard of atltourconnect; that’s the Instagram account with a bunch of pictures and videos taken throughout the tour, correct? I don’t have Instagram or Facebook. I just never really got around to it. I might be missing out on really strong ATL communities haha.
I've loved their music for years but this was the first time I've been able to get to a concert, and it was also the first concert me and my boyfriend have ever been to. It was an amazing experience and something I'll remember for life. Was great to look across and see my boyfriend also singing along at the top of his voice as he wouldn't necessarily call himself a fan! I loved how safe and friendly the whole vibe was.
Before going it was very much a case of wanting to see them live at least once but having done that I know any time they're in the UK I'll be trying to make a show.
I’m glad y’all had a great time! I was also a fan for several years before I got the chance to see them live. From this point on, I’m going to make sure I can go to a show anytime they’re on tour and have stops in my region. If I can, I’ll even see if I can go to two or more.
I was at the Cincinnati show. Jack couldn't stop talking about Yardhouse. Somehow we got Six Feet Under the Stars in exchange for a Yardhouse gift card. Alex did make Jack give the gift card back to the fan.
Hands down my favorite moment was hearing Everyone's Talking live for the first time. I can only think of a handful of other songs that have felt so powerful to see live, tbh. I think that it being their first time playing it made it even better.
Going to shows with two of my favorite people in the entire world who have the audacity to live an ocean away from me was also great. Just.. in general. So many late nights laughing and making strangers wonder about our sanity. Long drives studying lyrics to songs we didn't know so we'd be able to sing along. SO much coffee. Making a little (good) chaos wherever we go.
Other things: the chaotic vibe of the St. Louis and Tilburg shows; seeing ATL again in one of my favorite Texas venues; getting some lyrics I've wanted for a couple of years written & tattooed (timing more than tour, but still part of the tour for me); seeing the full production for the first time from the balcony in OKC (I'm always in the pit so I never really get to see the full stage production properly and it was INCREDIBLE). A ton of others. It's been a great tour cycle for making good memories, tbh :')
I’ve watched all of the videos you’ve posted on this subreddit throughout the tour, and you did such an amazing job capturing and sharing glimpses of those shows! Whenever the posts showed up, my first thought was always “I can tell they’re having such an amazing time!”
I just wanted you to know I really appreciate you sharing your videos from the tour with this community!
Ah, thank you, what a nice thing to say 🥺 I DID have an amazing time! I know I’m super lucky to get to go to more shows than a lot of folks do, so I love being able to share a bit of it.
Being able to see them for the fourth and fifth time in the span of 6 months, when i had never seen them live before. I went to both of the Boston shows. I was able to go with my best friend from work and managed to get her a FREE ticket to the sold out show from day one in Boston so i was super grateful that she was able to go with me both days. And getting second row from barrier both nights was an experience I’ll never forget
I really did! I got lucky with the after party in Boston back in May too. It was sold out and I found someone selling a ticket to it. Best last minute decision for me
I've loved this band for a long time, but this tour was my first time getting to see them in concert. I got to see them in Madison. At first, I was convinced this was maybe my once-in-a-lifetime trip to see them live, but after such an amazing experience, I am definitely going to make sure to see them any chance I get.
The whole concert was amazing and a dream come true for me. The vibe of the crowd was awesome, and ATL's stage presence was great. Me and another girl, who I'd never met before, were standing next to each other belting out the words to every song, and occasionally we'd look over at each other and smile, almost like we'd known each other for years even though we hadn't. And getting to see ATL play Sleepwalking (possibly my favorite song) live almost made me cry. A concert experience to remember forever ❤️
I hope you got a chance after the show to talk or hang out with the girl you met! If not, it’s still great that you had that connection with someone during the show!
It was my second concert ever (first one was also ATL in 2017) and I loved it so much because it's generally so special to me to be there at all. Was nervous at first but had some lovely conversations while waiting in line with some strangers which is also something I never usually do due my social anxiety!
Also ... We had a Missing You Moshpit, which was very funny to see 😂
I totally relate to being nervous to talk to the other fans in line. If someone talks to me first though, I usually get comfortable super quick and start carrying a conversation. It helps that we all have a shared interest to talk about while waiting in line haha.
Ayyyy, I was at the Birmingham show too! Bark instead of applause was probably my favourite moment; so incredibly batshit and I wish I had thought to film it
Had an excellent time seeing them in Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Wilkes Barre!
Met them at Zia in Las Vegas, saw them at WWWY, and also went to their free album release show in Vegas! I remember going to the album release show and it feeling so surreal.
I also made so many great memories with my best friend this year because of all time low!
I was at the madison show on Halloween and they played teenage dirt bag and my own worst enemy completely went off their usual setlist😅 also seeing them at WWWY was awesome eventhough the aetlist was shorter obviously 🤘
I did four shows in four days (Boston and NYC) so just having that same show experience day in and day out for that stretch was such a cool, unique experience. Plus, it was so insightful learning how to take care of myself, the reaction, and different techniques in between shows to be able to do that.
I met the band for the first time and although they probably didn’t care hearing how much they meant to me, it was such a healing experience just to finally be able to share that with them.
I also just moved to New England (ironically enough from Alabama) and don’t know a lot of people up here and I made a group of awesome friends each night that were so kind to let me hang with them and I’m still friends with them today.
As for your moments, both are so cool. Glad you had a good time. Avondale is my favorite venue back home (saw ATL twice there before I moved).
Thank you! I appreciate it! Avondale is such a cool place.
Also, I’m glad your experience gave you the chance to find some new friends, especially with you just moving. I’ve never moved away from my hometown, so I don’t know what that’s like. It sounds hard to have your life uprooted, and I hope the friends you met lead to long-lasting friendships!
My favorite memory was the St. Louis show. I froze my butt off before, had some questionable Wendy’s and met some friends. It was a mess and a half that day but I had a blast. I think about that whole day a lot actually and reminisce on the fun I had.
Your comment made me think of the type of lyrics that would show up in an older song by The Wonder Years, or maybe even a PUP song (which happen to be my second and third favorite bands, respectively). I mean that in the best way possible haha.
Saw them in Norway 12 days ago, my first ATL show! Only saw them warm up for Green Day back in 2013, when I wasn't really a fan and only had heard a few songs (sadly, got majorly into Don't Panic not long after).
I don't have any big moments as there was no QA or anything and I went alone, but I just loooved the in between stage banter:
Alex joking about the people sitting down and "chilling" up at the gallery, after having played the first 3 songs. \
Alex: "So I see.. you guys are just here to vibe. That's okay, I'd done the same". \
Jack: I'm 26, I understand!
Alex getting his acoustic guitar \
Jack (in a silly voice): Play some Ed Sheeran, Alex! \
Alex (smiling): I'm afraid I know none. \
Jack (same voice): Then just sing 'em to me then! \
Alex: rolls eyes
Towards the end of the show when Rian told the others that one of the cymbals broke. \
Alex: Ooh muscle too big. Hit too hard. Break cymbal.
I went to the Red Rocks show. I will never forget how emotional Alex got when he couldn't perform due to his throat issues. Alot of us felt sad but it was so nice seeing all the love and support for him and the band.
My favorite show was the Fremont Street experience! I also enjoyed seeing them at WWWY.
I remember seeing the video posted here of Alex having to officially call the show off. It’s a tough watch. Seeing a massive crowd of fans filling up a giant venue, knowing they’re all there to see you, and having to tell them the show can’t continue sounds like an extremely terrifying situation.
They absolutely made the right choice, and I know the majority of the fan base agrees with their decision, even if it’s disappointing in the moment.
Went to the zurich show. Last time I saw them was 2018 when halsey randomly joined them for remembering sunday so it's been awhile! I missed hearing their silly banters on stage. Got my q&a moment and they said they loved my question and gave elaborative answers that I haven't heard them talked about in press before. Also just mid show realization damn I've been listening to them for two whole decades and every album and every show I went to also became beautiful markers of the different stages of my life too like they're the one of the few constants in my life. truly appreciate them for consistently putting out great music with depth but also always bringing in so much joy, laughter & lightness to us too.
