Read full details
Wage War, the metalcore band from Ocala, Florida known for albums like *Blueprints* and *Manic*, headlines a heavy night in Columbus alongside Varials and Cane Hill. Fans can expect a high-energy set blending crushing breakdowns, melodic choruses, and the dual-vocal attack of Briton Bond and Cody Quistad.
Varials, who previously supported Wage War on tour, bring their own brand of metallic hardcore, while Cane Hill adds a groove-laden, nu-metal edge. The show promises a full evening of modern metal intensity.
Attendees should prepare for a loud, physical show at a venue known for hosting metal acts. Ear protection is recommended, and early arrival helps secure a good spot. Wage War's extensive discography, including five studio albums and the 2026 EP *It Calls Me By Name*, ensures a varied setlist.
