There’s just something about Nonpoint at Wally’s Pub. Every single time they come through Hampton Beach, the place is packed wall to wall, the energy is through the roof, and the night ends with fans leaving drenched in sweat but grinning ear to ear. Tuesday, August 12, 2025, was no different except this time, it was even more special.

This stop was part of Nonpoint’s Painful Statement Tour, celebrating the 20th anniversary of To The Pain and the 25th anniversary of Statement. That meant two full sets, one for each album, and fans couldn’t have asked for a better way to relive the classics. But before Nonpoint took the stage, two killer openers set the tone for what was one of the best nights of live music Wally’s has seen this summer.

Autumn Kings – The Warm-Up That Hit Hard

Autumn Kings opened the night, and right from “Sleep When I’m Dead,” the crowd was hooked and the crowd was already packed. You could feel the energy shift people were instantly moving, nodding, and singing along. They powered through “Power” and “Hellbound” with such energy that it didn’t feel like an opening set it felt like a headliner getting the party started early. If you haven’t heard of Autumn Kings, trust me: follow them, stream them, and don’t miss them if they roll through your town.

Upon A Burning Body – Chaos (in the Best Way)

Then came Upon A Burning Body, and they didn’t just keep the energy alive they cranked it up to another level. From the second “Daywalker” hit, a mosh pit erupted and pretty much never stopped until the end of their set. Between “Killshot,” “All Pride No Pain,” and “Sin City,” the heat inside Wally’s didn’t matter fans were going hard, moshing, headbanging, and shouting along.

Their closer, “Texas Blood Money,” was pure chaos in the absolute best way. Horns in the air, fists pumping, and the loudest singalong of their set. They left the stage having absolutely destroyed it, and everyone knew we had just witnessed something special.

Nonpoint – The Roof Came Off (Again)

And then Nonpoint. You just know when Elias Soriano and the guys walk out that it’s about to get loud, sweaty, and unforgettable. They always bring it, but this time felt different. Two sets. Two legendary albums. One night.

They kicked off the Statement set with “Mindtrip” and immediately had the whole place moshing and screaming lyrics like it was 2000 all over again. By the time they ripped through “What A Day,” “Mislead,” “Years,” and “Levels,” the floor was a sea of movement. They closed the set with “Tribute” and honestly, it felt like the night could’ve ended right there and been worth it.

But nope Nonpoint came back out after a short break and gave us a To The Pain set that somehow managed to crank the energy even higher. Every song was a crowd favorite, and there wasn’t a second of downtime. Fans didn’t stop singing, shouting, or moving the entire time. It felt like the entire venue was one giant wave of energy feeding right back into the band.

Nonpoint proved once again why they’re not just a band you see live they’re a band you experience.

Wally’s Pub – The Perfect Setting

Now, if you’ve never been to Wally’s Pub, let me set the scene: it’s a biker bar turned music venue tucked off the back strip of Hampton Beach. Before the show, you’ve got endless options grab some food, hit a bar on the strip, then walk right over for the concert. Inside, it’s tight, hot, and loud, but that’s what makes it special. You’re not watching a band from far away you’re practically in the show, shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow fans, just feet from the stage. It’s raw, it’s intense, and it’s perfect for nights like this.

Final Thoughts

Between Autumn Kings, Upon A Burning Body, and Nonpoint, this was one of those nights that fans will be talking about for a long time. The energy never dipped, the crowd never stopped, and Nonpoint once again showed why Wally’s Pub is their room whenever they come through New England.

If you missed this stop of the Painful Statement Tour, do yourself a favor: don’t miss any of the bands next New England stop.
