Power Trip are back on stage this summer, following the tragic loss of frontman Riley Gale. The band has announced performances in Dallas and New York City, with tickets going on sale this Friday (1st) at 11 AM ET. Seth Gilmore, known for his work in Texas’s hardcore and punk scenes, will handle vocals for these shows.
Their upcoming performances will showcase fan favorites from albums like Manifest Decimation and Nightmare Logic. The Dallas show is set for July 6 at The Factory in Deep Ellum, while the NYC gig will take place on August 24 at Knockdown Center.
The band issued the following statement:
“Nearly four years ago to the day, unbeknownst to us, we would perform for the last time as Power Trip.
It has been a difficult road since then, marked by deep pain, grief, and everything else that came with losing our brother Riley.
We know this can’t be undone, and it will always remain part of us. We have thought deeply about the future of Power Trip and what always comes back to us is that this band was founded on resilience, perseverance, and most importantly: a love for the music and for all of the people it has brought us closer to along the way.
We’ll never have the words to convey our appreciation of the enduring support we’ve received over the years, and we feel as though the time is right to get back on stage for all of you who’ve been there throughout our existence as a band.”
The group later expressed:
“It feels right playing our songs with Seth, who’s been a long time figure in Texas hardcore, and we’ve had the pleasure of watching and playing alongside his bands since the origins of Power Trip. We’re grateful for his dedication to this project and can’t wait to see everyone.”
Gilmore comments:
“I’m honored to have the opportunity to contribute to the legacy of Power Trip and deliver these songs to the fans of past and current generations. I would not be who I am today without the massive influence that both the band and its members have had on my life, and I look forward to celebrating their work alongside them while giving it my all to honor the spirit of Riley’s memory.”
