Ohio based American indie rock band, Walk The Moon have mastered the blend of pop and rock music since their inception in 2008.

Originally from Cinncinnati, Ohio, keyboardist and lead vocalist, Nicholas Petricca started the band in 2008, and after a few lineup changes, the band solidified in 2010 with bassist Kevin Ray, drummer Sean Waugaman and guitarist Eli Maiman. By the end of that same year, the band recorded and self-released their first album, “I Want! I Want!” gaining them a huge following that led to their signing with RCA Records. By 2011 they were touring as the support for various bands such as Panic! At the Disco, Weezer, and Grouplove. The band, who would perform with painted faces, started a tradition of having enough paint for the audience to throw about during their shows, making their live shows hugely popular.

Their first record with RCA Records in 2012, “Walk The Moon” EP included most of the tracks from “I Want! I Want!” including their hit song “Anna Sun,” which received successful amounts of radio airplay, putting the band on the map. The song was named Song of the Summer by Esquire magazine, and was featured on various television ads and shows, like the popular teenage drama, Vampire Diaries. The release also had them doing the television show rounds as well as having them play summer music festivals all around the country. 2014 saw the release of their sophomore album, “Talking Is Hard.”

Live reviews

I saw Walk the Moon for the first time in spring of 2012, playing at Big Guava Music Fest. The Ohio based group had an afternoon slot on the second smallest stage. I caught most of their set, along with 500-600 other people. I remember enjoying the set, but not to the point where it received praise in my top 10 power rankings from the weekend.

Fast forward to less than one year later and Walk the Moon is one of the most demanded bands in the country. They announced a spring tour back in November and sold out the dates in almost every city. This included their St. Pete stop at State Theatre last month. Luckily I bought my $28 ticket before I saw resale prices rise to the triple digits.

So what changed - well the group released their sophomore album - Talking is Hard, which is full of pop-rock tunes that get everyone dancing and signing along. It's one of those albums where you can't just listen quietly. It's lead single 'Shut Up and Dance' is a prime example of the albums energy, and the driving force behind the new fan hood and demand for the live shows.

The energy of Talking is Hard translated well to the live stage at State Theatre. Album opener 'Different Colours' also opened their performance, showing early that Talking is Hard would be well displayed on the evening. In total, the band played 9 tunes from the new album. They also mixed in 6 from their self titled debut.

Lead singer Nicholas Petricca sounded great throughout the night. Some of the new tunes challenge his vocal abilities, but in doing so, show them off nicely. Moments like the a capella opening to 'Down in the Dumps,' ferocious ending to 'Spend Your Money On' and sing a long chorus to 'Avalanche' display his ability to take over the room with his vocals, reminiscent of Brandon Flowers.

Speaking of the Killers frontman, Petricca gave a powerful performance of cover 'All These Things That I've Done' as the groups encore. This was a true highlight of the night. It led into the final song of the night with the bands first single 'Anna Sun.'

I was very pleased and impressed with the setlist put together by Walk the Moon. They clearly have many new fans, and they satisfied those by playing their new album in full, including ending with their monster hit. They also played tribute to their existing fans though. The group sounded just as good playing the older tunes, and it makes you wonder why they didn't have this type of popularity earlier.

Overall, the energy of this band made for one of the best shows of the year. I never found myself standing still. And I must say it was quite special to see them play the State Theatre, at a capacity of less than 800. Something tells me next time Walk the Moon is in the Tampa area, it'll be a much larger venue.

I had the pleasure of seeing Walk the Moon at the Chipotle Cultivate Fest in Lincoln Park last year. It was really cool because it was a festival that promoted healthy eating and there were multiple bands that played throughout the day. Plus, you didn't have to pay to get in. When it was Walk the Moon's turn to come on, the stage area was packed with excited fans, many with their faces painted in support of the band. Walk the Moon came out with high spirits, and the crowd was full of energy, dancing to the music. The band is really good live and they sound just like their audio recordings. I didn't know all of their songs, but it was still fun to jam out to their music. Many people sang along with the lead singer, and all of the band members were full of smiles as they played. Throughout the concert, there were these big, inflatable balls that were tossed around over the crowd. Several people were determined to touch them whenever they got near where they were standing. For the most part, the crowd was friendly; however there was this one drunk girl who was very rude to my friends and me. But that childish behavior didn't spoil our moods. Walk the Moon put on a great show that had everyone in good spirits by the end. Overall, Walk the Moon put on a fun, energetic concert that kept the audience upbeat. It was really cool to see them in the park, and who doesn't love a free concert?

Grab your friends, face paint and get ready to have an amazing night if you’re seeing WTM. From the first time I saw them open for Young the Giants I was completely hooked! They have so much energy and talent that when their on stage you can’t help but have a great time. The music is so engaging; you actually want to put your phone down and just move your hips shiver shiver.

Even though they’ve started playing bigger venues, the show is so enticing your nosebleeds will feel like front row. They really know how to get the crowd involved and pumped. The guys are so nice; they always try to come out after a show and meet the fans! Blake and just everyone on their crew are really great people.

A WTM show is a like family reunion; everyone knows each other, we share face paint, and just have fun. Don’t be afraid to go alone, you will make friends because WTM fans tend to be the coolest people with the finest taste in music.

17 shows later, I still get excited for each show! If they’re in town, get a ticket, you’ll have a blast and leave a fan.

They're my favorite band in the entire universe. This was my fourth time seeing them. I had seen them at the U.S Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, at the Hollywood Palladium, and at Slim's in San Francisco. A few days ago, I went to their Catalyst Club, Santa Cruz concert and it was spectacular!

The Griswolds opened for them and they're Aussie beauties with spectacular hearts and amazing stage performance! Walk the Moon killed it with a fusion of both their old songs and quite a few from their rockin' new album, Talking Is Hard. Being two rows away from Nick and Kevin was incredible and I found myself dancing and sweating to each and every song, belting out every lyric devotedly.

I'm so grateful to have seen Ohio's Walk the Moon so many times and to have met them in San Francisco after their gig last fall. They're incredibly sweet, genuine, fun, and sexy guys and I'm glad success is treating them nicely. :]

Lighting was fantastic. The stage was super cool. Energy was at high levels. The band seemed happy to be there and played with passion. The song selections were good and the banter was decent. Power to people for being different and fuck trump.

My only gripe is that some of the songs and all the singers high notes were prerecorded. There was even a time in which he turned the mic to the audience to sing the lyrics and his prerecorded voice was still playing. Milli Vanilli over here. These guys are now so big they are more showmen than musicians. Not really live music ifnthe sound guy is doing most the work....

Walk the Moon was amazing! The energy is so fun and they are very interactive with the crowd! Not to mention that they are smoking hot indie hipster men. They sound amazing live, and they are definitely going to get big. They played their popular songs such as "Jenny," "Tightrope," "Shiver Shiver," etc., and then they also played a couple new ones including "Shut Up and Dance." And then of course, they closed with a favorite of mine... "Anna Sun." Had a fantastic time and have loved their music since the first time I heard them almost two years ago. CANNOT wait for another album to be released!! :)

Walk the moon was everything I hoped it would be. Performing, the band members we're always energetic and it's amazing to see how much they love what they are doing and how they portray that when they perform. They talked with the crowd and got us all to do a bunch of group sing alongs and moves and we even sang Happy Birthday to the guitarist Kevin. The lead singer even decided to come out into the crowd and sing with everyone around him. I had a great experience and loved everything about them and would definitely go again.

If you are looking for a fun night of good music and non-stop dancing, then a Walk the Moon concert is perfect. The entire crowd was dancing along to every single song played and Nick, the lead singer sounded PERFECT. I don't think he missed a note. The Griswolds, who were the opening act, were awesome. I could have watched an entire concert of theirs along with the entire concert for Walk The Moon. Overall a great show, lots of good positive energy and phenomenal performances by both The Griswolds and Walk the Moon.

The Walk the Moon concert was amazing and so much fun!!! The excitement and energy that came from the crowd was exhilarating! Nick Petricca and the other members of the band had a great way of keeping the energy up. I love how they played songs from their latest album and some older songs. After the concert, you can't help but get nostalgic and just want to do it all again!! ... So basically to sum it all up, going to the Walk the Moon concert was an experience that I won't ever forget and I will always cherish.

I hesitated in getting tickets for walk the moon as I had no idea what to expect, but this ended up being one of the best concerts I've ever been to. The band's energy and passion for the music was a cut above the rest, and they really engaged with the crowd for audience participation and general chat. Nick, the frontman, is charisma personified. The music was fantastic to dance to and the good mood in the crowd was infectious. Make sure you get to a show if they're in town, you won't regret it!

Walk the Moon Announces Hiatus in Emotional Video, Plus New Music: We’ll ‘Hopefully Come Back One Day Stronger Than Before’

Walk the Moon , the Ohio-based band behind pop-rock hits “Shut Up and Dance” and “Anna Sun,” announced an indefinite hiatus.

“The time has come for us to take a good long break from touring and making records together,” frontman Nicholas Petricca said in an emotional video posted to the band’s YouTube page. “When we do reconvene, that will be a glorious day. And the truth is, we don’t know when that’s gonna be.”

Reflecting on the number of shows the band has played together — and miles they’ve traveled — Petricca said Walk the Moon is “filled with love, gratitude, appreciation, and some heartache” as they announce a “hibernation.”

It’s not just the end of a chapter, as Petricca announced some new developments as well, including a livestream of the final date of their tour and some new music on the way. The band currently has three remaining tour dates , the last being a show in Arcadia, Wis., on Aug. 12. Walk the Moon guitarist Eli Maiman also has “a new musical collaboration in the works,” and Petricca is “creating a solo project universe.”

Petricca started the band in 2006 as a student at Kenyon College, but the current lineup formed around 2011, with Eli Maiman on lead guitar and Sean Waugaman on the drums. (Longtime bassist Kevin Ray departed Walk the Moon in December 2020 after Petricca announced on Instagram that Ray had “acted out of alignment with our values.”)

Walk the Moon returned in 2017 with “What if Nothing,” featuring the electronic pop single “One Foot,” and released their fourth studio album, “Heights,” in 2021. In 2022, Petricca, Maiman and Waugaman embarked on a limited U.S. tour celebrating the 10th anniversary of “Walk the Moon.”

In the video announcing the band’s hiatus, Petricca personally thanked bandmates Maiman (“for being the most overqualified guitarist possible”) and Waugaman (“for standing out amongst all the drummers I’ve ever played with”), as well as himself.

“In 2009, when all the other members had left, I was a band of one when my dad was getting sick, and I was at the bottom of the darkest corner of my life,” Petricca said, fighting back tears. “I could have just let Walk the Moon die and disappear. Instead, I made the choice to keep going. From that point forward, Walk the Moon has been the greatest gift to me, this vehicle through which my pain and joy and memories and experiences have been transmitted to millions of other human beings in this magical way.”

Wrapping up the video, Petricca said, “With all the love in our multicolor hearts, thank you for whatever you’ve done to make this music what it is… We love you. See you soon.”

Walk the Moon - 10th Anniversary Tour

Indie rockers Walk the Moon are coming to San Diego for their 10th Anniversary Tour !

Ohio’s WALK THE MOON have been captivating audiences with their energetic live shows for the better part of a decade. The band first made a name for themselves by touring relentlessly in support of their self-titled debut, which featured the indie classic “Anna Sun.” The alt-rock-pop group were then catapulted into the spotlight when 2014’s “Shut Up and Dance” became a multi-platinum global smash, crossing sonic barriers to top three different Billboard charts. After two years of performing countless sold out shows in twenty five countries across five continents, the band returned to the studio to craft their third major label release, 2017’s What If Nothing. The album showed the band simultaneously at their most epic and their must vulnerable, a daring step forward both musically and lyrically. The lead single, "One Foot," became a number one hit at Alternative Radio in 2018 and was among the most played alt songs of the year. Now WALK THE MOON returns in 2021 with a new album on the horizon.

See them live at The Observatory North Park on Thursday, October 20 at 7:00 p.m.

The Observatory North Park

Use two fingers to move map

The band’s name is derived from the song “Walking on the Moon” by The Police. The group independently released their debut album, I Want! I Want!, in November 2010, receiving airplay for the track “Anna Sun” on multiple Alternative radio stations. In February 2011, Walk the Moon signed with Mick Management.

They signed to RCA Records and released their first major label album, their second overall, the self-titled Walk the Moon, in June 2012. It is composed of many of their original tracks from I Want! I Want! as well as new tracks that were written specifically for the album and were meant to reflect the kind of energy the band produced in their live shows. In December 2014, the band released their second major-label studio album, Talking Is Hard. This album includes their biggest hit to date, “Shut Up and Dance,” which has so far charted at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number 1 on Billboard’s Rock Songs chart and Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart. SPIN Magazine described them as a “poppy, art-rock quartet”. They were also deemed a Nylon Magazine Band Crush for their “swirly pop beats, infectious guitar riffs, and loud, sing-a-long choruses.”

Walk the Moon announce indefinite 'hibernation'

The pop-rock group behind "Shut Up and Dance" and "Anna Sun" is taking time off — and will release new music soon.

Walk the Moon has announced an indefinite hiatus. The self-proclaimed "indie-alt-pop-rock-and-roll band" behind synth-soaked anthems like "Shut Up and Dance" and "Anna Sun" took to social media this morning to announce their "hibernation."

"The time has come for us to take a good, long break from touring and making records together. When we do reconvene, that will be a glorious day. And the truth is, we don't know when that's gonna be," frontman/singer/keyboardist Nicholas Petricca said at the start of an 11-minute farewell video.

Petricca tearfully expressed his gratitude to Walk the Moon's guitarist Eli Maiman and drummer Sean Waugaman, as well as the band's behind-the-scenes collaborators and dedicated fan base.

"This summer will mark 18 years since I started the band that would change its name to Walk the Moon — half my life ago," Petricca said. "For half of my life, this band has been the main focus of my creative love and energy.… It is an enormous act of love to carefully lift something like this from the center of our lives and place it gently to the side, out of focus, and let it rest for a moment. It's a choice we make powerfully, to follow our truth, to make space for new creations, for family, to serve our well-being, and in the long run, even serve the well-being of Walk the Moon."

In the video, Petricca also announced that the band's final show will be livestreamed around the world, and that Walk the Moon will be releasing new music in the near future as a parting gift for their fans. He also teased the members' new creative endeavors outside of the band, including his own "solo project universe" and a "new musical collaboration" from Maiman.

Inspired by new wave groups like Talking Heads and Tears for Fears, Petricca started the group at Ohio's Kenyon College in 2006, rotating through a number of lineups before self-releasing Walk the Moon's debut album I Want! I Want! in 2010. After a membership shakeup, Maiman, Waugaman, and bassist Kevin Ray joined the band in 2011, and the quartet signed to RCA Records the same year. The group released its self-titled major-label debut in 2012, mostly consisting of re-recordings of songs from I Want! I Want! , including "Anna Sun," which quickly became a mainstay on alternative radio.

The group's next album Talking Is Hard spawned lead single "Shut Up and Dance," an inescapable pop-rock track that quickly became the band's biggest hit. The song peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and is certified Platinum by the RIAA. The band even performed the song at Gillette Stadium with Taylor Swift during her 1989 tour.

Walk the Moon's last album as a quartet, What if Nothing , released in 2017, with lead single "One Foot" topping Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. Petricca announced that Ray would leave Walk the Moon on Instagram in December 2020 after the band "received some firsthand information that leads us to conclude that Kevin Ray has acted out of alignment of our values." The new three-man lineup released the band's latest album Heights in 2021.

"Walk the Moon has been the greatest gift to me," Petricca said in the video. "This vehicle through which my pain and joy and memories and experiences have been transmitted to millions of other human beings in this magical way that gets their bodies, hearts, brains, minds, souls moving. Each of us has poured ourselves into this music and these shows, and the fact that any one of you has gotten something good and nourishing and nutritious out of that — that gives us life."
