Just a month ago Demi Lovato was forced to postpone her October performance at the Rosemont Theatre a few short hours before showtime after the singer woke up with no voice. “I’m so sorry but it breaks my heart to tell you I have to reschedule the show,” wrote Lovato wrote to fans on Instagram. And while the sudden update was heartbreaking to her loyal Chicago fans, Lovato made up for the postponement and then some on Thursday night.
Now treated to the closing night on her headlining “Holy Fvck Tour”, fans at the Rosemont Theatre enjoyed performances from Lovato’s brand new rock album, which debuted a totally new sound from the former Disney star, as well as spins on some of her classic pop songs from throughout her career.
After delivering a few standouts from her new album, “Holy Fvck”, Lovato quickly took time to thank her fans and address the delay:
“First off, I just want to say, thank you so much for coming tonight,” Lovato told fans. “It’s no secret that I was supposed to play here back in October, and I got really really sick, I had no voice and I had to postpone the show, but you guys are here tonight and I promise I’m going to make it up to you guys.”
Although she owed no one an apology for losing her voice for performing with such energy from night to night, Lovato closer her apology by foreshadowing the rest of the evening, “Its the last night of the tour and I’m ending it here with you guys. Are ya’ll ready to have a f*cking good time tonight?”
Lovato delivered on that promise, getting the momentum for the rest of the night started with a familiar tune, a more rock-infused rendition of Demi’s massive hit “Confident”. Although Lovato’s new style and sound is very far removed from her 2015 album and especially her earliest projects, it’s great to see some of her hits still make their way into the setlist.
Next up Demi performed a couple fan favorites from the late 2000s, an unexpected Ashlee Simpson cover and her unapologetic anthem, “Sorry Not Sorry”. The remainder of her career spanning set was full of new tracks and spins on the old, a model which she perfected until the concert’s final moments.
Ending the evening on a high note, Demi finished with her new biggest track, her album’s lead single “Skin Of My Teeth” and perhaps her biggest pop single to date, “Cool For The Summer”, putting a big cherry on top of what was already a night that her Chicago fans will not forget.
Despite the original postponement, Demi more than made up for the new date with her Thursday night performance and now her Chicago fans will have less time to wait before she returns to the Windy City.

Marcus Mumford performs for a sold out crowd at The Sylvee in Madison, WI (Photo by Dan Garcia).
Just over a month into his first solo headlining tour, Mumford & Sons’ Marcus Mumford paid a visit to The Sylvee in Madison, WI. Returning to Wisconsin’s capital for the first time since 2019, after Mumford & Sons performed for a packed crowd at the Kohl Center, the newly solo Marcus Mumford performed cuts from his new solo release, Self-Titled.
Opening with his Mumford & Sons tracks, “I Will Wait”, “Awake My Soul” and “The Cave”, all from the band’s first two LPs, Marcus eased the crowd into his new project with familiar classics before performing his critically acclaimed solo debut in its entirety. Delivering the entire album from start to finish, fans throughout the sold-out crowd were as familiar with the new tracks as they were his biggest hits as the Mumford & Sons frontman.
But show wasn’t over following the completion of Mumford’s solo catalog, as he put on an encore performance of covers that was worth the price of admission. The final act of Mumford’s set included a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Not Dark Yet” and two tracks from his Jim James, Elvis Costello, Taylor Goldsmith and Rhiannon Giddens supergroup, The New Basement Tapes. The only disappoint of the encore and show was the omission of Mumford’s rendition of Taylor Swift’s “cowboy like me”, which had been performed throughout the tour but not Friday night, which just so happened to be the release date of Swift’s new album “Midnights”.
Marcus Mumford is no stranger to a big stage, but his solo career is quickly paying off as he is releasing some of his best music to date and he still knows how to rock a crowd. But just because he went solo, Mumford will be the first to tell you that he owes his solo success to the talented cast of musicians that he surrounds himself with. However, even if it’s just Marcus Mumford and a guitar on stage, you can guarantee yourself a great performance.

As the Texas native took the stage at Zilker Park, the air was thick with anticipation, and she did not disappoint. Musgraves delivered a performance that was both intimate and electrifying, solidifying her status as a must-see live act.
Opening with “star-crossed,” Musgraves set the tone for an evening that was as much about emotional resonance as it was about musical virtuosity. Her voice, clear and emotive, floated effortlessly over the festival grounds, drawing the audience into her world. The transition into “good wife” showcased her ability to blend personal storytelling with universal themes, a hallmark of her songwriting prowess.

Songs like “Butterflies” and “Golden Hour” were met with enthusiastic cheers, their uplifting melodies and heartfelt lyrics resonating deeply with the crowd. Musgraves’ ability to connect with her audience was palpable, creating an atmosphere of communal joy and reflection.
One of the standout moments of the night was her performance of “Rainbow.” The song’s hopeful message and stripped-down arrangement allowed Musgraves’ vocal talent to shine, bringing many in the audience to tears. It was a poignant reminder of her gift for crafting songs that speak to the human experience in profound ways.
“Camera Roll” and “Justified” were other highlights, with their introspective lyrics and lush arrangements showcasing Musgraves’ growth as an artist. The visuals, including stunning light displays and carefully crafted stage design, complemented the music perfectly, enhancing the overall experience.
Musgraves’ stage presence was a masterclass in balancing charisma with authenticity. She engaged with the audience through genuine smiles, light-hearted banter, and heartfelt expressions of gratitude. It was clear she was at home on stage, and her comfort translated into a seamless, captivating performance.
Closing with “Slow Burn,” Musgraves left the audience in a state of blissful reverie. The song’s mellow vibe and reflective lyrics provided the perfect end to a set that was as diverse in emotion as it was in musical style.
In a festival known for its eclectic lineup and high-energy performances, Kacey Musgraves’ set stood out for its emotional depth and musical brilliance. Her ability to craft a narrative through her setlist and her impeccable delivery made it a highlight of Weekend One at Austin City Limits 2022.
