Armor For Sleep asks Chicago What To Do When You Are Dead during March 13 stop at House of Blues.

The tour, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the band’s 2005 album What To Do When You Are Dead, also featured electro-scene-core legends Hellogoodbye and the return of emo act Boys Night Out.

Since their comeback in 2022, Armor For Sleep has been touring continuously, and this current run marks a milestone for the band as they commemorate two decades of their iconic album.

Hellogoodbye took the stage, bringing fans back to their prime scene-core era with an electrifying opening set. Frontman Forrest Kline kicked off the evening with high energy, setting the tone for the night.

Boys Night Out also returned to the stage for their first full show since 2016. The band played a nine-song set, which included a teaser from lead singer Connor Lovat-Fraser about an anniversary tour later this year. Boys Night Out had previously reunited at Furnace Fest in 2024.

The New Jersey outfit kicked off the celebration of their two-decade-old LP at When We Were Young Fest last year. The tour continues with a 25-date run, lasting into early April.
