Hard Rockers Breaking Benjamin & Chevelle Coming to Tuscaloosa

Some of the iconic hard rockers from the turn of the millennium are planning a fall show at the Mercedes-Benz Amphitheater in Tuscaloosa, the city announced Tuesday morning.

Breaking Benjamin is coming to the Druid City on October 16th, supported by Chevelle, Starset, and Kami Kehoe.

Both Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle were titans of alt-rock angst in the late 90s and early 2000s, when tracks like "Blow Me Away" and Chevelle's "The Red" were all over radio stations, video game soundtracks, and more.
