The long-awaited day finally arrived, Integrity was coming to Argentina.

The legendary hardcore punk band delivered a show that, while packed with energy, left many fans wanting more, as several classic songs were omitted and the set felt somewhat brief.

The night kicked off with local bands like Courrieres, hailing from Mar del Plata. As the crowd began to gather, they managed to pull everyone closer to the stage, setting the tone for the mosh pits that would soon erupt.

Next up came one of the strongest names in the local HC scene, Knockout from Rosario. Many already knew them, while others were blown away by their performance — short but relentless, one song after another. The crowd was already throwing themselves at the mic to scream along with the vocalist.

Then came the moment fans had been waiting decades for. People were packed everywhere — even on the stairs and on the stage itself. Photographers could barely work as the venue turned into an emotional battlefield. Dwid Hellion, the voice of the band, could be seen grinning from ear to ear, visibly ecstatic about the crowd’s reaction. At one point, he did get slightly annoyed when fans kept grabbing the mic, asking them to let him hand it out instead of snatching it from his hands.

The show opened with the band’s usual intro, while Dwid waited backstage to make his entrance. Chaos erupted the moment the first chords of “Vocal Test” hit — a wave of people crashing into each other, each mosh pit more brutal than the last.

The band played nearly 20 songs, including a Misfits cover, leaving the audience satisfied yet wishing the night could have lasted longer. As fans were heading out, Dwid could be seen at the merch booth, taking photos and chatting with everyone like just another local — as if he’d always been one of us.
