All Time Low brought the EVERYONE’S TALKING tour to Clearwater on Saturday night, Nov. 15, 2025.
–
CLEARWATER, Fla. – The platinum-selling, chart-topping rock band had the audience up and out of their seats, dancing, head-bobbing, and even sitting on each other’s shoulders, for the entire 90-minute set.
All Time Low has been together since 2003, when they started out playing at small clubs in Baltimore, Maryland. Over the two decades, they have sold 3.5 million albums in the U.S. alone and accumulated over 5 billion streams worldwide. They’ve broken records, sold out arenas, and have built a steady, dedicated fanbase.
All Time Low last crossed paths with Tampa in 2023 when they played at the Ritz in Ybor City for The Sound of Letting Go Tour. For their return to the area this past Saturday night, they were joined by openers Mayday Parade, Four Year Strong, and The Paradox, each of whom gave energized performances that held the crowd.
Frontman Alex Gaskarth began the show under a faint spotlight with an acoustic rendition of “[cold open]” that cast a quiet, anticipatory trance over the audience. Things kicked up with the following song, “Oh no!” when lead guitarist Jack Barakat, bassist/vocalist Zack Merrick, and drummer Rian Dawson joined the stage. The band turned up the volume, and the crowd matched their pace right away.

The stage lit up with bright, colorful blocks and props that gave the feel of a playful, talk-show-style set that matched the tour’s theme. A light-up sign reading Everybody’s Talking hung behind the band, changing colors with the rest of the set throughout the performance to match the tone of the songs.
“We’ve played the Tampa area so many times. We love it,” Gaskarth told the crowd. The band’s joy in playing was clear on their faces and through the quality of their music. Gaskarth’s vocals were crisp and steady. Every note was hit, their timing never faltered, and the lighting and visuals complemented the music nicely.
Bands with decades-long discographies sometimes struggle to land on what the audience will want to hear and respond to best. But All Time Low produced a well-balanced setlist of new and old material. It was a treat for longtime fans and new ones alike. While “Dear Maria, Count Me In” unsurprisingly brought the house down at the end of the show, fans were receptive to the band’s songs from the new album as well. “SUCKERPUNCH” and “The Weather” had the audience singing along, clapping, and jumping up and down just as they did for the old favorites.

Throughout the performance, Barakat served as the night’s comic relief. He cracked jokes, climbed on a bandmate’s shoulders, and made up a story about a boat cruise for a post-show party that the entire audience was invited to.
In addition to their music, Barakat’s comedy and Gaskarth’s personable way of addressing the crowd helped All Time Low deliver a high-energy, humorous show that held the audience’s attention and kept them engaged through their three-song encore.
