Journey's Alternative Press Awards

I have had the pleasure of going to all three Alternative Press Music Awards. Each show gets better and better. The show runs smoothly and there are so many amazing moments. It's great to see the icons in the scene as well as the new bands paving their way and gaining new fans. The red carpet time is fun and it's really cool to see your idols in real life, up close, not only on the posters on your walls. The collaborations that preformed (such as Machine Gun Kelly and Pap Roach OR Baby Metal with Judas Priest) are once in a life time moments. It's amazing to see the gods of rock, alternative, metal, punk and pop punk come together to celebrate their awards wth fans. I'll will be in attendance for the rest of my life!

The event was about 5 hours and it went by pretty fast. I only liked about 1/3 of the bands that played,however they all played well and we had fun. The hosts were good and the event was run very well. My teenage son enjoyed it, so I enjoyed it.

The APMAs was awesome!! Such a cool event to attend!

Honestly I didn't really care for the show all I wanted to see was BABYMETAL that's all I wanted

To say this award show was incredible is a huge understatement. The red carpet was incredible and to be that close to so many stars was AMAZING! Once we got into the venue, we knew our seats were front row in the lowerbowl but we didn't know just how amazing they would be. Yellowcard, Good Charlotte, Pierce the Veil, Andy Black, Tyler Posey, Neck Deep and Sleeping With Sirens were all seated in front of us. We basically hung out with Yellowcard all night and they were so talkative with us. Tyler Posey came over and chatted with us and after the show ended, we were able to jump over to the floor and actually met Vic Fuentes from Pierce the Veil. The award show is very long but in a good way! You definitely get allllll of your money's worth. The amount of performances and surprise guests/collabs DURING those performances was UNREAL! Hands down the best night of my life and can't wait to do it all over again next year!

The Alt Press Music Awards are always a fun time! The red carpet event allows you get up close and personal with most of the bands! The show was full of great performances with guest artists and a mix of fabulous presenters! The only downside of the event was one of the presenters unnecessarily screamed irrelevent words into the microphone and the show was 5 hours long. Overall, the APMAs are a filled with exciting surprises and I can't wait to go next year!

I just want to say that i can officially check this off my list. We cant say enough about how well this was put together given the circumstances since the Rally was in Cleveland. We had so much fun and enjoyed all the bands that preformed. I saw Papa Roach and Good Charlotte. so my life is complete. LOL Thanks again for a great night and we will def be attending again!!!!

The Alternative Press Music Awards was a great event. My husband and I do not listen to this type of music but we attended with our teenage daughters who do. We all had a great time! The performances were good and the show dialogue was entertaining. My only complaint was that the event was a bit long (5 hours). Otherwise, it was a lot of fun!

Not only was it an award show, but they engaged the audience as if it were a giant concert. So many great bands played as well as great collaborations. Mayday Parade and the Maine shared the stage to start off the night, only to be joined by the lead singer of Third Eye Blind. Machine Gun Kelly made an appearance on the stage as well and sang with Papa Roach. So many great things happened. And I was lucky to be a part of it!

The performances were really incredible, lots of acts with special appearances. However, almost 4 hours is just too long for just about anything. The presidential debates were funny, but without them the show would have been a better length. It was freezing inside the Schott, which made that last hour really seem loooong.

Absolutely the best night ever! My daughter and I had a blast. From standing at the red carpet to rocking to each band that played. It was amazing.
