Breaking Benjamin, Starset and P.O.D. Coming to Atlantic City's Ocean Casino Resort in March 2027

103.7 WMGM Rocks presents the final stop of Breaking Benjamin's newly announced 16-city tour, with tickets going on sale Friday.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — One of modern rock's biggest names is bringing a major concert to Atlantic City next spring, and South Jersey rock fans will have the opportunity to see the final performance of a newly announced national tour.

103.7 WMGM Rocks will present Breaking Benjamin, joined by special guests Starset and P.O.D., at Ovation Hall inside Ocean Casino Resort on Friday, March 12, 2027, at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, November 6, at 10 a.m.

The Atlantic City concert will conclude Breaking Benjamin's 16-date winter tour, which begins February 16 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and travels through the Midwest, Northeast and Southeast before wrapping up at the Jersey Shore.

Produced by Live Nation, the tour also features Filter on most dates, although the band is not scheduled to appear at the Atlantic City performance.

The announcement comes as Breaking Benjamin celebrates another major milestone in a career spanning more than two decades.

Breaking Benjamin Returns With New Music and a Major Tour

Led by singer, songwriter and guitarist Benjamin Burnley, Breaking Benjamin has become one of the most recognizable bands in modern hard rock.

The Pennsylvania-rooted group built a devoted following with a combination of powerful guitar riffs, melodic choruses and emotionally charged lyrics.

Its catalog includes rock radio favorites such as "The Diary of Jane," "So Cold," "Breath," "I Will Not Bow," "Failure" and "Angels Fall."

Since releasing its debut album, Saturate, in 2002, Breaking Benjamin has accumulated billions of streams worldwide and earned numerous gold and platinum certifications.

The band's 2015 album, Dark Before Dawn, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, while its 2018 release, Ember, debuted at No. 3.

Now the band is preparing for another chapter.

Its latest single, "Something Wicked," reached No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Airplay chart, becoming Breaking Benjamin's ninth career chart-topper.

The song offers fans a preview of the band's forthcoming studio album, its first full-length collection of new material since Ember.

Breaking Benjamin also released "Awaken" in 2024, marking the beginning of its latest wave of new music.

The upcoming Atlantic City performance could give fans an opportunity to hear newer material alongside the band's established hits.

Starset Brings Cinematic Rock to Atlantic City

Joining Breaking Benjamin is Starset, the Ohio-based rock band known for blending heavy guitars, electronic elements and science-fiction themes into an ambitious musical presentation.

Founded by vocalist Dustin Bates, Starset has developed a distinctive identity through concept-driven albums, elaborate visuals and theatrical live performances.

The band's breakthrough songs include "My Demons," "Monster" and "Ricochet."

Its albums include Transmissions, Vessels, Divisions, Horizons and the 2025 release Silos.

Starset's live shows, which the band often calls "demonstrations," have helped establish its reputation for creating an immersive concert experience that goes beyond a traditional rock performance.

The group is already familiar with Breaking Benjamin's audience, having joined the band on its 2026 tour.

Their reunion for the 2027 concert series gives fans another opportunity to experience two of modern rock's most distinctive acts on the same bill.

P.O.D. Adds More Than Three Decades of Rock History

Rounding out the Atlantic City lineup is P.O.D., the San Diego band whose combination of hard rock, alternative metal, hip-hop and reggae influences helped define the early-2000s rock scene.

Short for Payable on Death, P.O.D. achieved international success with its 2001 album Satellite.

That album produced some of the band's most recognizable songs, including "Alive," "Youth of the Nation," "Boom" and the title track, "Satellite."

The band's music became a staple of rock radio during the early 2000s, and its energetic performances helped build a loyal following.

P.O.D. has continued recording and touring, releasing its album Veritas in 2024 and additional new music in 2026.

The band's appearance adds another generation of rock hits to an already substantial lineup.

Atlantic City Will Host the Tour Finale

The March 12 concert will be the final stop on Breaking Benjamin's announced winter 2027 tour.

The tour includes performances in Cedar Rapids, Kalamazoo, Fort Wayne, Louisville, Columbus, State College, Syracuse, Albany, Hershey and several other cities.

"The Atlantic City finale is particularly significant for South Jersey because there tends to be surprises and special moments on the final show of any tour", explains 103.7 WMGM's Sean Patrick. "This one in particular should be memorable, especially with Ben's connection to our area".

With Breaking Benjamin's extensive catalog, Starset's theatrical approach and P.O.D.'s collection of alternative-rock hits, the concert will bring together several generations of hard rock music for one night in Atlantic City.
