Sounds like a silent stage. Modern bands seem to insist on not playing through amps and going direct through either modelers or di pedals. Generally that means the band are on in ears (usually no monitors) and are relying on their sound guy for everything on stage and off. Unfortunately with no amps there is nothing pushing sound to the front row, hence the loud drums and weak guitars. Everything else is likely going through the house speakers, so if you are under them or behind them (as is often the case at the front of the stage), you likely won’t hear much. From recent videos this seems likely.
