AJR sure knows how to make an entranceโฆ Itโs hard not to be โWay Less Sadโ when the trio takes the stage at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball presented by Capital One. The band of brothers โ Adam, Jack and Ryan Met โ went above and beyond during their high-energy set at Madison Square Garden on Friday (December 10), kicking it off with one of the biggest hits from OK Orchestra.
Of course, AJRโs show wasnโt complete without a few 2017 throwbacks, including โSober Upโ and โBurn The House Down,โ even reaching back to 2016 with โWeakโ to wrap up their performance. Whether fans were there for AJRโs throwbacks or for their latest songs, the whole set was the โGood Part.โ Ryan Met even took a moment to break down how the band produces music, bringing their biggest hits from their living room to the stage. โBang!โ started with a knock at the door that built into a song with a series of sounds that stood out to the brothers, including a New York City subway conductor's announcement, Ryan Met recalled. In fact, AJR kicked off the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour with a โBang!โ They took to their social media channels earlier this month to show off the hilarious pranks they pulled to start the tour.
After the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour, AJR is set to hit the road on their own tour in 2022. The band recently told iHeartRadio that they were looking forward to playing bigger venues โbeyond our wildest dreamsโ โ and said they plan to release new music before hitting the road. AJR billed the OK Orchestra Tour as โan hour and a half version of this weirdnessโ on the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball stage.
