Kevin Ray of Walk The Moon via Megan Gotch of After all, Monday’s show is completely sold out. Charlotte is more than ready to sing along to the infectious melodies and jump to the heart pounding beats of WTM’s impressive repertoire, especially after such an exciting summer for the band. While the last time WTM was in the Queen City was in summer of 2014, the crowd on Monday is sure to rival the one the band saw at the PNC Amphitheater. On Monday, October 19th, the tour will make a stop at the Fillmore Theater in Charlotte. For a band who thrives on bringing their crowds to their feet, it’s without a doubt that Walk the Moon will continue to sonically infect ears of many new fans to come across the pond and here in the US. Currently on the #TalkingIsHardTour, Walk the Moon has made their way through the greater part of the US and is traveling to Europe at the end of the year to make this seemingly never ending dance party a global one. It’s safe to say that 2016 holds even more landmark moments for this rock band that has been putting in their time on the road for six years.
The smash success of WTM’s most recent album “Talking Is Hard” is hard to measure at the moment as the band is still riding the wave of their mesmerizing tunes on US crowds, and the expanding fan base in Europe.ĭespite the exciting milestones Walk the Moon landed on this year, the band still has their eyes on bigger voyages.
With vibrancy, gusto, and heartstrings in good old rock and roll, the band watched their star rise this year: High up enough to shimmy with Taylor Swift at her 1989 World Tour stop in Foxboro, Massachusetts, to sell out a show at the prestigious Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado, and to garner a VMA nomination for Best Rock Video. Walk the Moon’s summer smash hit “Shut Up and Dance” not only gave courage to those on the corner of the dance floor, but it also reinvigorated the machinist mores of popular radio to make the necessary room for rock bands with a penchant for dancing. In fact, they’re more than a summer hit the rising sensations hailing from Cincinnati stormed the radio this summer, proving there’s no need for a term like “pop crossover” when a single song can redefine what it means to be on the Billboard Hot 100. Walk the Moon isn’t your typical breakout pop radio band.
