Dispatch and O.A.R. in Mansfield, MA – August 20, 2022

Dispatch and O.A.R. brought their co-headlining tour to the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Having been alternating who plays first on the tour, Dispatch had the honors of closing this one out, as this was a hometown show for the boys.

O.A.R.

O.A.R. came out and kicked things off with “This Town.” Throughout their twelve song set, they sprinkled in top hits such as “Love and Memories,” and “Shattered.” They also mixed in a tight cover of Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire.” They couldn’t leave the crowd without delivering “That Was a Crazy Game of Poker,” so they capped their set off with the fan favorite. They certainly didn’t disappoint, and got the crowd nice and amped for the guys in Dispatch.

Dispatch hit the stage with lead singer Chadwick Stokes decked out in a unique outfit, per usual. They came out with a thirteen song set, followed by the two song encore. The set began with a killer mashup of “Passerby” and “Beds are Burning (Midnight Oil).” From there, they threw out a great mix of songs both new and old. “Open Up,” “Only the Wild Ones,” and “Out Loud” were all featured. Of course they played the must hear tunes such as “Flying Horses,” “Elias,” and “The General,” as well. Dispatch also performed a cover, going with CCR’s “Lookin’ Out my Back Door.” Their encore consisted of a rendition of R.E.M.‘s “It’s The End of the World as we Know It,” ending the night with “Letter to Lady J.”
