Arrows in Action

Arrows in Action wasted no time getting things going and I loved seeing that kind of energy from an opener! They hit the stage ready to go and kept that momentum up the entire set. A big part of that was how much they interacted with the crowd. It never felt forced either, they looked comfortable up there and the crowd responded fast.

The vocals sounded tight and clean all set long, and the band as a whole felt really on point. They came off polished, but not in a way that made the set feel too rehearsed or stiff. For an opener, the crowd was way more engaged than usual, with a lot of people already singing along early on. Their set was one of those openers that wins people over fast! I had never heard of Arrows in Action prior to the show but i walked away a new fan! They have a bright, upbeat “summer drive” kind of sound that I really enjoy. Arrows in Actions started the show off with a bang, and they sure gave people a reason to keep up with them after the show!

I Dont Know How But They Found Me

When the lights dimmed and iDKHOW was about to take the stage, you could hear the crowd react right away and it after the first song it was easy to see why! iDKHOW is a retro-inspiried indie-pop solo prokect by Dallon Weekes, formally of Panic! at the Disco. Weekes really knows how to command a crowd and that showed from the second he walked out! He kept talking with the audience throughout the set and mixing in jokes and little playful moments that made the whole thing more fun to watch.

There was a lot of personality in the set and for me thats what really carried it. The retro vibe came through live, but it felt natural instead of overdone. Dallon was the kind of frontman that kept pulling your attention back in, whether he was singing or joking around between songs. It made the set easy to stay locked into, and the crowd seemed right there with him the entire time.

My only real complaint was that the set felt too short. It felt like they were just getting going and then it was over. Still, I left impressed and definitely a new fan, and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one.

BOYS LIKE GIRLS

Boys Like Girls leaned all the way into the nostalgia side this tour! The second you saw the stage setup with all the old TVs stacked around, it was pretty clear what kind of show this was going to be. The tour was called The Soundtrack of Your Life Tour 2026 and they really committed to it too, playing their first two albums back to back!

I always like when bands do full album playthroughs. It doesn’t always add a ton to the live show itself, but sometimes you can really hear the flow the band had in mind when they originally put the record together, and I like getting to experience that in a room full of people who clearly grew up with those songs too!

Martin Johnson did a lot of talking between songs, mixing in stories and keeping things loose, which fit the night well. The production was not overly flashy either. It felt like more of the focus was on the songs and the connection people had to them. The crowd stayed super engaged the entire set with a ton of singalongs all night, and I had friends there saying it took them right back to hearing those albums for the first time as kids. The pacing was more of a steady burn than a nonstop explosive set, but that felt right for a show like this.

It was also hard not to love hearing “The Great Escape” and “Love Drunk” not once but twice, first during the album playthrough and then again in a combined closing version to end the night. I always enjoy seeing legendary bands, especially when they are still out there playing the songs that made people fall in love with them in the first place.
