July 23, 2023FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH played its first concert in seven months this past Friday (July 21) at the York State Fair in York, Pennsylvania. It marked the band's debut live performance since FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH canceled a dozen shows in Europe in order to allow singer Ivan Moody to fully recover from his hernia surgery.
The setlist for the York concert was as follows, according to Setlist.fm:
01. Lift Me Up
02. Trouble
03. Wash It All Away
04. Jekyll And Hyde
05. Sham Pain
06. Bad Company (BAD COMPANY cover)
07. Never Enough
08. IOU
09. Wrong Side Of Heaven
10. Burn MF
11. Welcome To The Circus
12. Inside Out
13. Under And Over It
14. The Bleeding
In late April, Moody released a video message in which he explained how he ended up getting operated on. "I was in a video shoot," he said. "I was jumping around a little bit and I felt something pop. I didn't think much of it. The next day I went to rehearsal, and again, something was a little off, so I took myself to the doctor and he sat me down and he told me that he was surprised I was still walking. He informed me that I had three hernias and offered to do them right then and there. It was quick.
"I thought it would have been easy. However, having all three done at the same time was a shock to my system, to say the least, using of course my diaphragm and my stomach to sing, and you can hear it in my voice, I can't really talk that heavy right now. To be honest, it feels excruciating sitting upright.
"Anyway, he explained to me that the best thing to do would be to get it done now instead of prolonging it, having it rip and get worse, so that's what I did. Again, my body didn't take it as well as I thought it would, so here I am, not working."
On July 15, Moody celebrated the opening of his new Cheyenne, Wyoming businesses at a special block party-style event at his Moody's Rock Stop, described as a rock and roll-based convenience store and fueling station which is designed for everyday "recharging." The celebration featured live music, food trucks, and chances to win free tickets to FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH's show with PAPA ROACH at Cheyenne Frontier Days.
