From there they transitioned into “Here in My Room” before getting into “Mexico,” a tune that hasn’t been played stateside in more than a decade.

Perhaps it was because this was the opening show of the tour, besides a recent performance earlier this month at the Mad Cool Festival in Spain. As the show progressed there were a couple of songs where Boyd’s voice struggled a bit, while with others he was true to form. If you have attended an Incubus show, you know they are a band that doesn’t rely on trickery or special effects to produce a rocking good show they simply rely on their ability as exceptional musicians to consistently deliver as they have since they first formed. It didn’t take long for Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd to get into it, as usual his energy was infectious as he bounced about the stage like he has for 30 years since forming the band in 1991. Things kicked into overdrive when mixmaster DJ Chris Kilmore got into his spinning and scratching routine leading into the opening tune “Nice to Know You.” Without hesitation the crowd reacted and quickly got up and out of their seats where many would remain for nearly the entire 90-minute set. With the players now in place, the lights brightened to a dark blue, and the crowd energy became electric. Incubus consists of founding members Brandon Boyd (lead vocals), Mike Einziger (guitar), and José Pasillas (drums) along with Chris Kilmore (turntables) and Ben Kenney (bass). With the crowd already primed and pumped, the house lights dropped to a near darkness as the silhouettes of the band moved about the stage and into their playing positions. The 50-minute set included some of the biggest songs in the Sublime catalog including fan-favorite sing-along tune “What I Got,” and Sublime with Rome closed out their set with crossover mega-hit ballad “Santaria.” Incubus – Photo: Rick Munroe MFN Sublime with Rome played a steady helping of Sublime covers and some original material that brought back nostalgic memories of Sublime’s earlier times. The trio included Rome Ramirez handling the vocals and original Sublime member Eric Wilson on his Gibson 5-string ripper bass and Carlos Verdugo handling things on the kit. It was Long Beach, California-based reggae rockers Sublime with Rome who opened the show and got the energetic crowd on their feet moving from side-to-side. Longtime fans of the band embraced the return of Incubus with a sold-out crowd of over 20,000 faithful fans who packed the amphitheater, welcoming back the quintet alternative rock band who last performed in South Florida in 2019. Nu-metal rockers Incubus kicked off their highly anticipated 2022 Summer Tour on Sunday, July 24, at iThink Financial Amphitheater on a shirt-soaking humid night in West Palm Beach, Florida.
