Dressed like a star off of HBO’s ’70s music-circuit series Vinyl, Francis on facade alone can suck fans into his vibe. On the strength of his musical prowess, he convinces you to stay. Pay attention, the man deserves undivided attention.
The energy is intoxicating. Fans ready to party, but not necessarily ready for what is about to hit them. This is what Frankie and The Witch Fingers bring to the concert circuit.
Magdalena Bay has a bright future, destined for bigger venues and crazy exorbitant visual effects.
If you like the sound of maracas and bongos, drums and keyboards, a little guitar shredding, a ton of dancing, lively tunes and livelier crowds, and of course, plenty of booze, then Los Amigos Invisibles may just be the show you did not know you needed to see but definitely want to attend.
An underrated takeaway from a Pitbull show is how a Generation X performer can bring together all age demographics. At any given sight you may see a senior citizen clapping along and standing besides tik-toking Millennials and Generation Z-ers, while middle-aged fans dance to the tunes along the background. It truly is a come one, come all experience.
The main show does last a wimpy 50+ minutes from start to end; however, the motto goes “quality over quantity,” and it seems that is the Dance Gavin Dance game plan on this tour. Sheer quality, indeed.
The Papi Juancho Tour was a colorful celebration. A real South American-like atmosphere. If you know, you know. If you don’t know, now you know. It’s simply Maluma, baby, ya’know.
It takes a special kind of talent and some serious self-promotion to find yourself as the evening’s icebreaker to an amphitheater-based concert for Glass Animals on your first ever U.S. tour. Yes, binki accomplished that.
Ultimately, if you ask us if the Marc Anthony show one to catch, we will simply say: “Valio La Pena.”
