Highly Suspect is a rock band trying to disrupt the idea of being a rock band, with music that serves as a playground for the band to experiment with the idea of rock and genre as a whole. The band has been showcasing their unique take on rock; with infusions of hip-hop, reggae and blues, on their MCID Tour, promoting their most recent album My Crew is Dope (MCID).

Making stops in Berlin and Paris, the American band has made their way back home for a series of shows in North America in December before kicking the tour back on in February. The band has seen an incredible rise in such a short time, with their first studio album Mister Asylum in 2015 being nominated for Best Rock Album at the 2016 Grammy's.

With the release of their newest album, the band is pushing the boundaries again, with songs like "Tokyo Ghoul" which features rapper Young Thug and frontman Johnny Steven's hip-hop persona Terrible Johnny. With such an impressive discography in such a short time, it can be daunting to think of what songs the band will play on tour. Lucky for you, we have setlist spoilers for the band's ongoing tour that can give you an idea of what to expect from this dynamic band!

What are they opening their shows with?

Following a played recording of Elton John's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?," the band jumps into the show with their hit "Bath Salts" from their debut album Mister Asylum. See a performance below!
