A concert performance photograph by Alexis T showing Dead Poet Society plays Orpheum in Tampa, Florida on Oct. 31, 2026. Captured in a full-length low-angle dynamic shot, a guitarist stands with feet planted wide apart in a wide-legged stance on stage while holding a electric guitar upright. The musician wears a light pink astronaut-style jumpsuit with patches and black shoulder harness straps over light-colored sneakers, surrounded by intense purple, white, and green laser light beams cutting across the dark indoor venue ceiling.

Dead Poet Society was in Tampa on Halloween night for a show at Orpheum but mostly skipped the costumes as it supported a new album. Just guitarist-singer Jack Underkofler (space cowboy?) was in the spirit along with fans singing along to many of the words of Monarch, released just a few weeks before the show. Hunny (stylized all-caps) was in full regalia for the holiday, however, as it opened the show alongside Broadside.
