On May 12, American Christian rock band Skillet brough their Day of Destiny Tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC.

Fellow American band Adelitas Way kicked off the night. Frontman Rick DeJesus has an engaging personality that radiates on stage, making you feel as if you were the only one in the room at times as the band performs their hits.

A roar erupts as Skillet took the stage, the anticipation palpable among the eager crowd. The band launched into “Invincible,” an anthemic banger that immediately ignites the room. Fans clapped and sang along, their voices merging with the band’s in unity.

Frontman John Cooper directed the audience with ease, prompting them to shout “Rise!” in perfect sync during the band’s second number, “Rise.” The smoke machine worked overtime during “Surviving the Game,” with smoke billowing from arm-mounted cannons on Cooper’s arms, creating a dramatic, immersive experience that engulfs both band and crowd.

Skillet, consisting of John Cooper (voice), Jen Ledger (drums), Korey Cooper (guitar) and Seth Morrison (guitar), knows how to put on a show, seamlessly blending classic hits like “Monster” with fresh tracks from their latest album, Dominion. Their performance was a testament to their versatility and staying power in the rock scene.

The lighting and live effects were spectacular, turning the Commodore Ballroom into a visual and auditory playground. The stunning venue transformed into a giant karaoke session at times, with fans singing every word back to the stage, arms swaying in unison. The connection between Skillet and their audience is undeniable.

Skillet‘s Day of Destiny Tour is a masterclass in rock performance. Their energy is infectious, their music powerful, and their stage presence captivating. Skillet brings the rock to the roll, ensuring that every fan leaves with a smile and a heart full of unforgettable memories. If you ever have the chance to see Skillet live, go for it!
