A Full-Circle Nostalgia Trip with New Energy
On a warm Oklahoma night, Incubus brought a musical time machine to life. Performing their beloved 2001 record Morning View in full—and following it with a heavy-hitting encore set of fan favorites—Incubus’ Oklahoma City 2025 concert turned the Zoo Amphitheatre into a sanctuary of nostalgia, energy, and emotional release.
What set this apart from your average rock tour? The Morning View XXIII album—a re-recorded, reimagined version of the original masterpiece—poured new life into every track. The crowd, a blend of lifelong fans and Gen Z concertgoers, vibed from the very first note of “Nice to Know You” to the last echo of “Wish You Were Here.”

🔥 A Deep Dive into the Setlist
Full “Morning View” Performance (Track by Track)
Incubus’ bold decision to play Morning View front-to-back gave the concert a cinematic structure. From the intricate rhythms of “Circles” to the acoustic tenderness of “Mexico,” each song was introduced not just by the band, but by thunderous applause from fans who knew exactly what came next.
- 🎶 “Just a Phase” and “11am” were lush, layered, and soaked in Brandon Boyd’s soaring vocals.
- “Blood on the Ground” brought a fiery, punk-tinted energy that gave way to the ambient layers of “Aqueous Transmission,” complete with haunting flute arrangements.
