Set It Off Closes Out Their Tour at The Ritz, Raleigh
On the final night of their 2025 tour, Set It Off turned The Ritz in Raleigh into a whirlwind of energy, emotion, and connection. Far from winding down, the band treated the last stop as a victory lap—delivering a performance that felt both celebratory and cathartic.
From the opening notes, the band commanded the stage with their signature blend of pop-punk hooks and theatrical flair. Frontman Cody Carson’s charisma was undeniable, leading the crowd through sing-alongs, call-and-response moments, and heartfelt speeches that underscored the significance of closing out the tour. Guitarist Zach DeWall and drummer Maxx Danziger drove the set with relentless precision and intensity.
The Raleigh audience responded with unrestrained enthusiasm—mosh pits, crowd surfing, and voices raised in unison created a communal atmosphere. Fans knew it was the final show, and the energy reflected that: every lyric shouted back carried extra weight, every cheer felt like a collective thank-you.
The band proved that even at the end of a long run, they can summon the same fire and intensity that has defined their career. Raleigh fans got the kind of show they needed from one of their favorite bands but most of all Raleigh fans got a show they deserved.
