Ten years after its release, 'White Noise' remains a cornerstone in PVRIS’ career, and the band chose to celebrate it where everything feels most authentic: Boston. The show, held at Roadrunner, marked a major milestone, as it was the largest venue the band has ever headlined in the city. Surrounded by devoted fans, close friends, and family, including Lynn Gunn’s parents, the night carried a deep emotional weight.
Rather than a standard concert, the performance unfolded as a carefully crafted anniversary experience. Visual production played a key role, with a conceptual stage design featuring suspended objects that echoed the album’s themes, paired with immersive lighting that reinforced the atmosphere and identity of 'White Noise'.
The set was clearly divided into two distinct acts. The first was dedicated entirely to White Noise, performed front to back, allowing the audience to reconnect with the record that introduced PVRIS to the world. The second half shifted through different eras of the band’s catalog, featuring standout tracks such as “ANIMAL,” “Dead Weight,” and “GODDESS,” highlighting the band’s evolution over the past decade.
One of the night’s most talked-about moments came when Lynn returned to the stage wearing a Boston Fleet women’s hockey jersey, a gesture that immediately ignited the hometown crowd. The bond between the band and the audience reached its peak during a brief pause, when Lynn expressed her excitement about being back home, triggering minutes of uninterrupted cheers as the band stood back, visibly moved by the response.
By the end of the night, it was clear that 'White Noise' is far more than a nostalgic milestone. The energy never faded, and the connection in the room made it evident why the album continues to resonate ten years on. Rather than simply looking back, PVRIS reaffirmed the lasting impact of the era that started it all, a celebration worthy of a record that still carries immense weight today.
