LEAP kicks off world tour @ HOB Anaheim
The date is September 30, 2026 and you're on your way to the House of Blues Anaheim to see one of your favorite bands kick off their world tour. The name of the band? LEAP. This is meant to be a 36-stop tour for their debut album, Entropy.
LEAP brought out another amazing band, Out in Front. It did take a little longer to get in, so I was only able to catch the last couple of songs, but they clearly rocked the stage, which was apparent by the energy and sheer noise coming from the crowd.
During the intermission, I was able to chat up some of the other people in the room - people seeing LEAP for a first time and others who were able to catch them on their first leg / test run earlier in the year. One thing was clear, the band couldn't hit that stage soon enough. As someone who was able to catch them in Chicago earlier in the year, I knew what to expect, but the feeling of excitement was still there. I would say that their last show only left me wanting more.
And so, the time has come for the band to hit the stage. If you know the band, then it should be to no one's surprise that the band came out blazing hot. Their loud playing and the flashing red lights were like a calling card - telling everyone to pay attention and get inside now if they weren't already. By the time they were halfway done with their first song, it felt like all of the remaining ticketed bodies plowed through those doors. The room was packed, hot, and full of people jumping around to the beat of the music.
The band performed for a little over an hour, playing all of their hits - old and new - including an unreleased track. Before we knew it, the show was over. Some people pushed their way out the doors, some stood around possibly hoping to meet the band, and others made their way to the merch table to try and catch the band after their 15 minute break.
All that said, LEAP is a phenomenal band, and they sure know how to put on a crazy performance. The band is super talented, and they seem to have a drive that can take them anywhere. I cannot wait to listen to their new album / upcoming tracks.. which reminds me, go listen to "Bloodlines!"
