NEW METALCORE MAINSTAY: VIOLENT VIRA SELLS OUT SAN ANTONIO

July 23, 2025 – San Antonio, TX — The Chasing Ghosts North American Tour has been gaining momentum across the country, but San Antonio may have been the tipping point. A sold-out Vibes Event Center packed to capacity witnessed a set that reinforced why Violent Vira’s name is dominating conversations in heavy music circles this summer.

The band has been steadily carving out a reputation for unpredictable, high-intensity shows since the tour began in early May . Wednesday’s performance showed that the formula—fast, sharp transitions, and zero wasted time onstage—translates perfectly to a Texas crowd. Audience energy surged from the first note, making the already tight space feel even more volatile.

Novulent’s opening performance served as a measured counterweight. Their set leaned into brooding tones and layered technical sections, pulling the crowd in before dropping heavier passages that pushed anticipation higher. It was a setup that worked; by the time Violent Vira emerged, the room had already reached a breaking point.

The sold-out status of the show also signals something larger: San Antonio continues to be a key stop for nationally touring heavy acts, and Twin Productions is consistently the one bringing them in. With multiple high-profile events already hitting this summer, their role in shaping the city’s live music calendar is becoming impossible to ignore .

Violent Vira has described this tour as a defining step for the band, and if the San Antonio stop is any indication, they’re right. Their official merch store has been updating frequently during the run, suggesting that this surge of attention isn’t fading after the tour wraps.
