Waterparks made a long-awaited return to their hometown on Saturday, hitting the stage of the iconic House of Blues to a sold-out crowd. Joined by the dynamic openers Pollyanna and Loveless, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation long before the first chord was struck.

Kicking off the evening with electrifying energy, Waterparks launched into “Watch What Happens Next” from their third studio album, FANDOM, setting the tone for an unforgettable performance and night. Transitioning into the infectious beats of “Blonde” from their second album, Entertainment, the crowd was buzzing with energy, totally caught up in the moment.

As the night reached its peak, Waterparks returned to the spotlight, treating fans to a memorable finale. Closing out with all-time fan favorites like “I Miss Having Sex but at Least I Don’t Wanna Die Anymore” and “FUNERAL GREY,” the energy in the venue soared. For their encore, they graced the stage once more to deliver the hauntingly beautiful “REAL SUPER DARK” from their latest album, leaving the audience longing for more.
