The LA-based metal band Bad Wolves will play Outdoors at Fargo Brewing in Fargo, North Dakota on Tuesday, May 30, 2023. Tickets go on sale on Friday, April 21.
Expectations never mattered to Bad Wolves. Instead, the band fused unpredictable metallic intensity and impressive instrumental proficiency to arena-ready hooks, transforming from underdogs into elite platinum-certified hard rock contenders without compromise or apology.
Since 2017, the core group—John Boecklin (drums), Doc Coyle (lead guitar, backing vocals), Chris Cain (rhythm guitar), and Kyle Konkiel (bass, backing vocals)—have consistently subverted expectations and accomplished the seemingly impossible.
In 2018, the band earned a platinum plaque, topped iTunes, and ruled Active Rock at #1 for three weeks straight. This momentum also propelled their debut album, Disobey, to a Top 25 debut on the Billboard Top 200. On the album, their cover of the Cranberries’ 1994 hit “Zombie” was released in honor of Dolores O’Riordan who was set to reprise her vocals on the track, but passed away in January.
In between performing to sold-out audiences on multiple continents with heavyweights such as Five Finger Death Punch and Megadeth, 2019’s N.A.T.I.O.N. yielded their fifth straight #1 at Active Rock, “Sober,” and brought their total stream tally past the half-billion mark—unprecedented for a modern rock band.
LoudWire hailed it among the “50 Best Rock Albums of 2019” as Billboard and Consequence of Sound chronicled their rise. In the midst of 2021, Bad Wolves welcomed Daniel “DL” Laskiewicz—previously of The Acacia Strain—as lead vocalist, ushering in a new chapter with their third full-length offering, Dear Monsters led by the single “Lifeline.”
If you’re a fan of metal music, then you won’t want to miss Bad Wolves at Fargo Brewing Outdoors on May 30th. The show is sure to be a night of heavy metal mayhem.
