 Starting off the night was experimental pop musician Jean Dawson from California. He brought a unique vibe to the show. With a mix of chill and upbeat songs. Some of the highlights from his set include “Three Heads” and “Darlin’”. Sadly I did not catch his full set but from what I saw he was able to get the crowd engaged in his performance. The overall atmosphere of his set was pretty chill.
As someone who has listened to Linkin Park since I was a teenager I was excited to see how their set was going to turn out. After the passing of their late singer Chester Bennington the band has received some mixed feelings about getting back out there and even their choice of who was to fill Chester's shoes. While I’m sure that was not an easy decision to make, I believe they made a good choice with Emily Armstrong. Emily has the ability to project her voice and maintain a level of energy that the crowd seemed to enjoy. While nobody can replace Chester and his legacy will forever live on in the lives he touched, I'm glad his music is continuing to be shared with the world. Their set was full of life with Emily and Mike bouncing around the stage. Starting out the set with some of their OG songs before heading into their newer stuff. The stage was set up to give a full 360 performance and at one point everyone left the stage for a brief moment and it was switched over to give each side of the audience an equal view of all members. This was the first time I’ve personally seen a stage set up like this and I have mixed feelings. It felt like those in the pit weren’t given the best view as the stage was so high off the ground. But the crowd didn’t seem to mind as they were jamming along the whole time. Overall they put on a great performance and I’m sure Chester would be proud and supportive of his friends getting back out there and doing what they love. Review/Photo By: Cheyenne Simmons
