Spiritbox: Live in New Jersey
Wellmont Theater - Montclair, NJ - 4.15.2025
Heavy metal band, Spiritbox, performed on April 15th at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, NJ, in support of their latest album, Tsunami.
The Canadian rockers performance was a masterclass in modern metal, showcasing their dynamic range and emotional depth. As part of their "Tsunami Sea" North American tour, the Canadian quartet delivered a set that was both sonically diverse and emotionally resonant.
Longtime Wellmont Theater and The Photo Blur contributor, Lori Bettinger Schneider, was on hand to capture the night.
The setlist was an equally balanced mix of tracks, with half of the night’s performance off their latest album, Tsunami Sea, which was released last month as a follow up to their highly successful Eternal Blue.

ABOUT THE WELLMONT THEATER:

History
The theater opened in 1922 for live entertainment then switched to movies in 1929. In 2008 The Bowery Presents completed a $3 million renovation of the Wellmont Theater designed by architects Brian Swier and Michael Costantin. The building was retrofitted with new electrical and plumbing systems. New bars in the orchestra and mezzanine were installed. In 2013, venue booking changed to Live Nation, after the theater again underwent another careful refurbishment and started hosting major acts like Steely Dan, B.B. King, Cheap Trick, Fetty Wap, Ms. Lauryn Hill, and DNCE.
Palme-d'Or winning director Sean Baker worked at the Wellmont as a projectionist while in high school in the 1980's.
