AWOLNATION took the stage at the Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre as part of the "Unity Tour" with 311 and Neon Trees. The band, led by Aaron Bruno, delivered a fantastic concert for fans.

AWOLNATION burst onto the stage with the explosive hit "Soul Wars" from their 2011 album, "Megalithic Symphony," setting the stage for an electrifying night.

The band followed up with "Kill Your Heroes" from the same album and "Run," the title track from their 2015 album "Run." Then came "The Best" from their 2020 album "Angel Miners & The Lightning Riders," showing off the band's more melodic side and deepening their connection with the audience.

One the highlights of the night was when they covered Blur's 1997 hi "Song 2" before closing out their night with their billboard-nominated song "Sail" off their 2011 album "Megalithic Symphony," leaving the crowd wanting more, setting the stage for the headliner for the night 311.

Matt’s been in the media game his whole life. He kicked things off at WOVI, his high school station in Novi, MI, then hit the airwaves at Impact 89FM while at Michigan State. But after realizing he didn’t quite have the voice for radio, he made the jump to TV—spending 23 years working for CBS, FOX, and NEWSnet. Now, he’s come full circle, back in radio as Detroit’s Digital Program Director, making noise behind the scenes and keeping things running strong online.
