Tuesday evening, the Egyptian Room in Indianapolis was taken over by angsty chaos from TX2, whose sound not only compels you to jump but also to love the people around you. "If you're too cool to put your hands in the air," TX2 says , "you can go f*** yourself!" This is exactly who you want opening for a big night!

TX2's energy leaned into emotional, punk-rock vibes. What stood out the most was their unapologetic support for the LGBTQ+ community. Rainbow lighting flooded the room, which made this concert set feel like a safe space for people to feel seen, let loose and be heard!

Touring in support of Black Veil Brides on the North American Tour 2026, TX2 made it very clear how much this opportunity meant to them. The band openly shared their gratitude through their set, saying how touring with Black Veil Brides had been one of their biggest dreams. That excitement translated directly into their performance.

Lead vocalist Evan Thomas, and guitarist Matt Malpass had great stage presence with their quick moves and personal interactions with the crowd. Bassist Courtney "Corky" Howard had a bad-ass attitude that matched her bad-ass playing.

In contrast, drummer Ethan Church never stopped grinning - this dude was having the time of his life!

TX2's album "End of Us," featuring songs with Black Veil Brides and Nine Inch Nails, was released February 2026.

Their Tuesday night setlist included songs like “Vendetta,” “HOSTAGE (they will not erase us),” “So Numb,” “Mad,” and “I Would Hate Me Too." TX2 is currently performing as support on the Black Veil Brides North American Tour 2026, along with and From Ashes To New and As December Falls.
