At Jones Beach on Saturday, September 5, Breaking Benjamin headlined their “2026 North American Tour.” With support from Kami Kehoe, Starset, and Chevelle, each band brought an evening full of alternative rock and metal. 

Kami Kehoe started the day with a 30-minute set, wasting no time getting the crowd engaged from the start. She made an electric and confident impression, giving fans the chance to experience a new sound in the rock genre. She played her new song “Love Is A Weapon” and her biggest hits “DOPAMINE” and “FADE OUT.” STARSET had an incredible, unique energy, completely transforming the venue with their cinematic theatrics fronted by Dustin Bates. It felt like an immersive experience with their set, featuring elaborate costumes, strongly focused on their science fiction and space theme. Chevelle was the perfect band to set the stage for Breaking Benjamin, with frontman Pete Loeffler, who brought a large intensity to the crowd with his vocals and guitar work. The simplicity of their set was special, and it only featured three members focused solely on a heavier and more aggressive sound.

Breaking Benjamin ended the night with a crowd full of energy, emotion, and songs throughout their different career eras from over two decades. The band is approaching the 25th anniversary of their debut album, Saturate, and gave fans the chance to revisit those songs full of heavy instrumentals and emotional music. Some of their setlist included “Until The End,” “Evil Angel,” “Crawl,” “Red Cold River,” “Blow Me Away,” and, of course, their biggest hits, “The Diary Of Jane” and “Breath.”
