At the Masquerade in Atlanta, Heaven, one of three rooms housed in the popular venue is packed from the front of the stage to the sound box toward the back of the room. It's hot as hell, and the whole room smells like sweat and cheap beer—the perfect making for New Found Glory's Pop Punk's Not Dead Tour.

After the pop-punk opening acts Man Overboard, This Time Next Year, and Set Your Goals to finish their performances, the room empties, and people scatter in different directions in search of bathrooms, smoke breaks, and more beer. After about ten minutes, the anticipation begins. The room is quickly filling up with people migrating closer and closer to the stage.
