Riffs through the air at the Boeing Center thanks to Trivium & Bullet For My Valentine

Last week, the Boeing Tech Center in San Antonio was transformed into a battleground of riffs, emotion, and explosive energy as metal titans Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine delivered a powerhouse performance that left the crowd in awe. From start to finish, the atmosphere was nothing short of electric, as fans—both longtime devotees and fresh faces—roared in excitement for a night that felt monumental.

Trivium, known for their dynamic blend of melodic metalcore and technical precision, unleashed a set that showcased their evolution as one of the genre’s most respected forces. Frontman Matt Heafy commanded the stage with undeniable charisma, tearing through hits like “In Waves,” “The Heart From Your Hate,” and “A Gunshot to the Head of Trepidation.” The crowd responded in kind—mosh pits formed, voices sang in unison, and the energy rippled through the venue like a storm.

Not to be outdone, Bullet For My Valentine brought their signature aggression and polished performance to the stage. Kicking things off with “Your Betrayal,” they leaned into fan favorites like “Tears Don’t Fall,” “Waking the Demon,” and newer cuts that proved their sound continues to resonate in today’s heavy music scene. The Welsh quartet displayed a perfect mix of ferocity and melody, with frontman Matt Tuck’s vocals slicing through the air alongside searing guitar solos from Michael Paget.

This night wasn’t just a concert—it was a celebration of metal’s enduring spirit. San Antonio showed up loud and proud, and both Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine delivered performances that will be remembered long after the final note faded.
