Day 4 of the tour saw Paleface Swiss return to Glasgow in unforgettable fashion.
Stick To Your Guns were the first to take to the stage and had no trouble warming up the crowd with memorable tracks like ‘Against Them All’ and ‘Nobody’. From the moment they stepped on stage, their energy was contagious. With the room almost full by the time the first note was played, the crowd came alive, with pits opening as soon as the first riff hit. Having travelled to Scotland all the way from California for the first time since 2022, it was clear their Scottish fans had been waiting in anticipation.
Up next were Static Dress, a band who have blown up across the scene in recent years. Bringing something entirely new to the table, their visual elements only enhance their performance. Fan favourite tracks such as ‘crying’ and 'clean.’ were met with huge reactions, while frontman Olli Appleyard delivered a passionate and commanding presence throughout the set.
Then came the moment everyone had been waiting for. Before Paleface Swiss even took to the stage, the crowd erupted into their iconic Scottish chant, ‘Here we, here we, here we fucking go!’. As soon as the first song began, countless crowdsurfers flew over the barrier, setting the scene for the absolute chaos that followed. Everything about Paleface Swiss’s set was undeniably unique, both their stage presence and stage setup was something to be admired. Towards the end of the set, they brought the intensity down a notch with a stripped back performance of ‘Rivers of Sorrows’ - a moment that perfectly captured the connection between the band and the crowd. It offered a chance for everyone to catch their breath before Jesse and Josh of Stick To Your Guns joined the stage to perform their collaborative track, ‘Instrument Of War’.
As someone who only recently discovered the band, Paleface Swiss exceeded my expectations, making this an incredible way to start off 2026.
