These Days Stage Bar​

Determined to recreate the fun and close connection with the audience of their early shows in New Jersey, the band brought the bar to the arenas. The tour's enormous crowds were treated to a hometown with a working bar on either side of the stage equipped with running taps and bartenders.​
