Chevelle returned to Omaha, Nebraska August 12th, 2025, just a little over a year since their last appearance at the Steelhouse. Chevelle recently kicked off their North American tour bringing indie rockers Dead Poet Society and heavy metal giants Asking Alexandria while supporting their soon-to-be released album Bright as Blasphemy.

Dead Poet Society (DPS) brought their A-game, kicking off the night with powerful energy.  DPS is still touring off their most recent album FISSION which was released January 2024.  The short but mighty seven song set, mixed with old and new songs, really got the crowd pumped.   It’s evident the Omaha’s biggest DPS fans were front and center, jumping around while singing all the words.  I only wished more people would have come earlier to catch them.  They have a heavy indie rock sound that’s easy to vibe to.

I’ve seen Asking Alexandria (AA) several times now, and this night felt different. It felt bigger. I can’t put my finger on it, but they were on fire. I recently caught their show in Lincoln, Nebraska a few months again headlining a tour and I felt this show had twice the energy. They were really able to engage and feed off the Steelhouse crowd. Midway through the set, before they played “Alone in a Room”, Danny Worsnop (lead vocals) told the crowd if they’re wanting to crowd-surf “now’s your chance” and they did, surfers started streaming to the front. After the mayhem, AA slowed it down. The band left the stage, Worsnop grabbed an acoustic guitar and played “Someone, Somewhere”. For the next song, the band returned to the stage and slowly picked things back up, with Worsnop still strumming the acoustic guitar. The band joined in playing “Moving On “. AA finished their set with the heavy hitting “The Final Episode (Let’s Change the Channel). Overall, the crowd really brought the enthusiasm. This would have been a great night for them to play
