From the moment the show started, it was clear this was not just another Friday night in Akron. The Rialto Theater had transformed into a time machine fueled by powerful riffs and nostalgic teenage angst.

On October 17, 2025, Davvn and Jack the Underdog took the stage at the Rialto Theater in Akron, Ohio. This was the second stop of the Born in the Wrong Era 2er where the artists take the crowd back to a time of Myspace, iPods, OG Warped Tour and Limewire. They were supported by Akron native artist Yacobucci. 

Right before doors, fans Abbi & Olivia snagged a moment with Mike & McCall of davvn to gift them a handpainted sign with the band’s name. These fans shared that they drove over three hours for the show and had been fans of davvn and Jack the Underdog for quite some time now.

Jack the Underdog took the stage, opening the show up with some of his hits. This included his newest release “slur”, which hit over ten thousand listens in just three days. The energy in the venue was infectious but only got better as Jack turned to some “swemo” songs, Taylor Swift song covers with an emo style twist. Some of his videos even reached over two million views on Instagram and TikTok. The already-excited crowd exploded as they sang and danced along.

Davvn took the stage next by welcoming in the crowd back to the year 2007. The band opened up their set with “brb ttyl” making everyone really feel like we had time traveled. After a few more songs off of the EP brb ttyl, the band welcomed the crowd to get a little sentimental as they performed “any other girl”; a song that talks about the self-consciousness of girls comparing themselves to others they see. A single glance into the crowd during this song showed fans were moved, some even brought to tears. After this, the lead vocalist McCall promised us to get a little more angsty. This led to Jack the Underdog running onto the stage to perform their song “substance” together. At this point in the tour, the band had not released their latest EP getting older scares me to death, but blessed fans with a peek at a formerly unreleased song called “girl_in_the_mirror.mp3”, which is available now. The entire set was full of energy, emotion and had the crowd jumping and singing along.

The night was capped off with a set by Yacobucci. This local artist fuses punk rock and rap to explore life through music. During multiple points in the show, Yacobucci took a moment to really talk to his fans and share the journey he’s been through as an artist. He talked about his influences, such as Logic and Futuristic. Yacobucci even took the moment to acknowledge some of his established band members in the crowd. The entire vibe of the show was nothing but love and appreciation. Yacobucci stated, “The show was an incredible, wholesome, hometown reunion! I always love playing shows where I grew up because I get to see so many familiar faces and most of the crowd are singing the words back to me…WHICH IS NUTS! I’ll always represent where I come from and I’m so excited for the next one!”
