Mammoth – The End Tour – Wind Creek Event Center – Bethlehem, PA – 3/14/2026
Review & Photos by Lori Schneider (IG: @LoriSchneiderPhotography)
Mammoth, led by Wolfgang Van Halen, brought their North American headlining tour in support of their latest album, The End, to the Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem, PA. The tour is supported by 10 years and James and the Cold Gun. Later in the year Mammoth will be joining Bush as direct support on The Land of Milk and Honey Tour.
Mammoth’s band lineup includes Wolf (vocals, guitar, piano), Frank Sidoris (guitar), Jon Jourdan (guitar), Ronnie Ficarro (bass) and Garrett Whitlock (drums). Upon hitting the stage, opening songs One of a Kind and Another Celebration at the End of the World set the high energy rock tone for the set and immediately got the crowd engaged. Wolf at times acknowledges his father’s legacy with tapping guitar solos and riffs, but doesn’t copy. Mammoth exudes their own style with melodic melodies, technical layers and instrumental mastership. Their sound is primarily hard rock and is riff-driven, layered, melodic and engaging which shows the technical ability of not just Wolf, but the entire band.

The band has been characterized as no-frills, simple and high energy with good karma leading their path forward. Some of their songs include Chewing Glass, Something to Say and All the Wrong Places.

Direct support for Mammoth was 10 Years, an alternative/hard rock/progressive metal band from Tennessee, consisting of Jesse Hasek (lead vocals), Brian Vodinh (lead guitar), Matt Wantland (rhythm guitar), Chad Grennor (bass) and Luke Narey (drums). For over two decades of growth and 9 studio albums, their sound has been characterized as a moody atmosphere with intense emotional depth along with the assertive and energetic dynamics of modern rock. Songs performed included Heart-Shaped Box (Nirvana cover), Novacaine, Russian Roulette, Shoot It Out and Fix Me. The lineup of James and the Cold Gun, 10 Years and Mammoth worked well building in intensity as the night progressed.
