Breaking Benjamin closed out the 2026 concert season at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre on October 17, joined by Chevelle, STARSET and Kami Kehoe for one final night of live music in Alpharetta. With a mix of established favorites and newer talent, the four-band lineup brought together several different sides of modern rock to wrap up another busy season at the venue.
Opening the night was Las Vegas-based singer, songwriter and drummer Kami Kehoe. Blending alternative rock, metal and pop influences, Kehoe represents a newer generation of artists bringing fresh ideas to the genre.
Kehoe showed off her versatility throughout the set, stepping away from the microphone several times to take over drum duties. It added another dimension to her performance and gave the audience a chance to see her musicianship beyond her vocals. With songs like “Psycho,” “Dopamine” and “Love Is a Weapon” helping her build a growing following, Kehoe was a fitting addition to a tour featuring some of hard rock’s more established names.
STARSET followed with a noticeably different atmosphere. Led by vocalist Dustin Bates, the Ohio band brought its signature combination of cinematic rock, electronic elements and futuristic visuals to the Alpharetta stage.
Opening with “p a r a d 0 x 1 c,” STARSET moved through an eight-song set that included “Carnivore,” “Brave New World,” “Monster” and “SILOS.” Their elaborate stage presentation complemented the music, giving the performance a theatrical quality that set them apart from the other bands. Closing with “My Demons,” STARSET brought a different energy to the evening before the heavier, more straightforward rock performances that followed.
Chevelle took the stage next, bringing their unmistakable blend of heavy riffs, driving rhythms and Pete Loeffler’s distinctive vocals. The Illinois trio opened with “Family System” before moving into “Self Destructor” and “Vitamin R (Leading Us Along).”
With little conversation between songs, Chevelle kept the focus squarely on the music. Loeffler did take a brief moment to thank Atlanta for always showing up and being so good to the band whenever they come through town. It was a quick acknowledgment that fit the band’s straightforward approach to performing.
The 12-song set reached across their catalog, including “Face to the Floor,” “The Clincher,” “Send the Pain Below” and “The Red,” along with newer material like “Jim Jones (Cowards, Pt. 2).” Closing with “Mars Simula,” Chevelle reminded everyone why they’ve remained such a respected name in alternative metal for more than two decades.
Breaking Benjamin closed out the evening with an 18-song performance that covered nearly every chapter of their career. Opening with “I Will Not Bow,” the band quickly moved into “Until the End,” “Evil Angel” and “Crawl.”
Early in the set, frontman Benjamin Burnley gave the audience a heads-up about his limited movement. He explained that he’d developed a crick in his neck and joked that everyone would have to bear with him being a little stiff onstage. While he wasn’t moving around as much as usual, it didn’t keep him from working through the band’s extensive catalog.
Burnley also took time to talk about how excited he was about the mix of artists on the tour. He was particularly enthusiastic about sharing the bill with Chevelle, explaining that he’d always looked up to the band and was thrilled to be touring alongside them. It was a genuine moment of appreciation that added something personal to an already impressive lineup.
The set continued with favorites including “Red Cold River,” “Blow Me Away,” “Angels Fall,” “So Cold” and “Polyamorous.” “Dear Agony” and “Breath” brought out the more melodic side of Breaking Benjamin, while “Awaken” gave fans a taste of newer material.
The final stretch included “Failure” and “Dance With the Devil” before the band closed with “The Diary of Jane,” one of the most recognizable songs in their catalog.
Despite Burnley’s stiff neck, Breaking Benjamin delivered a full performance packed with the songs that have kept fans coming back for years.
With four artists bringing their own styles to the stage, the evening offered plenty of variety. From Kami Kehoe’s emerging sound and STARSET’s theatrical production to Chevelle’s heavy riffs and Breaking Benjamin’s collection of longtime favorites, it was a strong finish to the 2026 concert season at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre.
