![]() ![]() The energy that came from the stage was remarkable and it carried all the way throughout the crowd. Everyone has always told me how great of a live band they are but nothing could have prepared me for the show they put on. While it sucked having to leave Foster early, Cage was well worth it. There was not a single person who did not know every single word.Īfter pumped up kicks the entire crowd disappeared and headed straight for Cage The Elephant. Then “Pumped Up Kicks” came on and I have never seen a crowd get so excited in my entire life. It didn’t matter whether they were playing their more popular songs or the ones off their new album, the crowd was loving every second. They did not disappoint in the slightest, they blew my expectations out of the water. Teasing more tour dates in 2018, Chris and his bandmates wrapped the sunny evening with genre cornerstone “Hands Down”, which, to this day, is still one of the most essential songs your heart has ever needed.įoster the People are a band that just about everyone who knows the slightest bit about indie music knows. Encouraging fans to stick together in times like these, he introduced a new song called “We Fight”, a (pun unintended) punchy update of the Dashboard that we know and love. “This man is a foul idiot,” he said of Donald Trump, a sentiment loosely echoing a statement Carrabba shared on Twitter regarding the ban of transgender personnel in the military. He took a few moments to reflect on the political climate in the United States. Carrabba, full of levity throughout, guided the audience down the path of 2000s nostalgia with songs like “Stolen”, “Vindicated”, and “Screaming Infidelities” and covered Prince. The Florida group, headed by singer Chris Carrabba, shared the best of their early days and teased new beginnings during their performance at the WayHome stage. The emo renaissance could be en route, in part because of the stellar return of Dashboard Confessional. With an array of hits and lesser known songs they kept the crowd captivated and kept bringing people in. Yet when it was time for Phantogram the crowd started to pick up and again I found myself completely blown away by the show that they put on. I’ll admit after seeing such a dismal crowd at the main stage I was not sure what to expect for the coming night. Their unique array of instruments and stunning vocals are so unlike anything else you’ve ever seen. There could not have been more than 200 people and this was at the main stage! But despite the low attendance San Fermin put on one hell of a show. One of the first things I noticed was the lack of people in the crowd. I started out the day at the main stage watching San Fermin. ![]() It’s finally Wayhome time again and despite the lineup that left something to be desired and the lower attendance, we’re excited to be here.
