Reverend Horton Heat brought a completely different kind of energy to Atlantic City in 2026, tearing through a high-speed set of psychobilly, rockabilly and punk-infused rock 'n' roll. While the Totally Tubular Festival was packed with '80s new wave and synth-pop, the Reverend's trio sounded like they had arrived from a completely different—and much louder—party.
Jim Heath was the center of attention, switching between fiery guitar work and his larger-than-life stage presence while bassist Jimbo Wallace and drummer Jonathan Jeter kept everything moving at a furious pace. The songs came fast, with very little downtime and plenty of room for Heath to show off his impressive guitar playing. The performance had the loose, dangerous feeling of a great bar-band show, only played at an intensity that made it impossible to ignore. The crowd responded to the band's combination of humor, musicianship and sheer volume. Reverend Horton Heat may have been an unusual fit on the Atlantic City lineup, but that's exactly what made the performance work. They brought some genuine rock 'n' roll mayhem to a festival otherwise dominated by synthesizers and nostalgia.
