Greenville, SC (4/28/26) – Tonight at The Radio Room in Greenville, South Carolina, Nonpoint bring the third stop of their “Outta Control” Tour to one of the Southeast’s most intimate rock venues—and if history is any indication, fans are in for a night that will be loud, personal, and unforgettable.
For a band now approaching three decades of making music, Nonpoint continue to prove they are anything but a legacy act coasting on nostalgia. Instead, they arrive in Greenville with fresh momentum, a new single on the way, and a new album set to launch a bold next chapter.
Their latest single, “Is It,” officially hits streaming platforms on May 8, but fans tonight were among the first to hear the song live. It serves as the opening shot from their upcoming full-length album “The Last Word,” due out at the same time. According to vocalist Elias Soriano, the record is a statement against the idea that creativity has an expiration date.
In many ways, that message mirrors Nonpoint’s career. Since forming in 1997, the South Florida rockers have carved out a reputation as one of the hardest-working and most dependable live bands in heavy music. Through lineup changes, shifting trends, and an ever-changing industry, they have stayed relevant by doing one thing consistently well: delivering high-energy shows built on honesty, aggression, and connection.
That connection is on full display at shows like tonight’s. At The Radio Room, the crowd tells the story of Nonpoint’s reach. Longtime adult fans who grew up with records like “Statement,” “Development,” and “To the Pain” stand side-by-side with a new generation of younger listeners—some as young as 7 and 10 years old—discovering the band for the first time through parents, playlists, and live experience. That kind of cross-generational loyalty is rare in heavy music, but Nonpoint have earned it. Their songs carry enough grit for longtime metalheads while their stage presence remains welcoming, fun, and authentic enough for newer fans stepping into their first rock show.
The “Outta Control” Tour also delivers a strong supporting lineup. SOiL bring their own brand of early-2000s hard rock nostalgia and muscle, while Sumo Cyco inject the bill with explosive punk-metal energy and unpredictability. Together, it creates a three-band package that spans styles while staying rooted in raw live performance.
Still, when the lights drop for Nonpoint, the room changes. Elias Soriano commands the stage with the same intensity he did years ago, backed by drummer Robb Rivera, guitarist Rasheed Thomas, bassist Adam Woloszyn, and lead guitarist Jason Zeilstra. Their chemistry feels sharpened, not softened, by time.
There’s something fitting about a veteran band playing a room like this. In an era dominated by giant festivals and viral moments, venues like The Radio Room remind fans what heavy music is built on: sweat, volume, closeness, and community.
Tonight is more than the third date of a tour. It’s another chapter in a story Nonpoint are still writing—and judging by the energy surrounding “The Last Word,” they may be far from their final sentence.
