Short Stack delivered one of their biggest and most electrifying shows to date at The Forum on June 14, 2025. The sold-out crowd packed into the iconic venue, buzzing with anticipation, and the energy was palpable from the moment the lights dimmed. As the band hit the stage, they were met with deafening cheers and an explosion of colour—beach balls bounced across the crowd, creating a playful, chaotic atmosphere that perfectly matched the band’s high-octane pop-punk sound.
From the opening notes, it was clear this was no ordinary gig. Short Stack pulled out all the stops, treating fans to a mix of old favourites and newer anthems, each song met with screams and singalongs. Tracks like “Shimmy a Go Go” and “Planets” had the crowd jumping in unison, while slower moments gave fans a chance to catch their breath and soak in the emotional weight of the lyrics.
Visually, the production was next-level. Bright strobes, smoke cannons, and vivid visuals transformed The Forum into something more akin to an arena, underscoring just how far the band has come. Frontman Shaun Diviney was in top form, commanding the stage with ease and gratitude, taking moments to reflect on the band’s journey and the loyalty of their fans.
By the time the encore rolled around, the floor was a mess of confetti, sweat, and smiling faces. This wasn’t just a concert—it was a celebration of everything Short Stack has built over the years. A night to remember.
