Country music’s rising star, Kelsea Ballerini, gave a very special visit to the Riverside Theater tonight for her headlining Unapologetically Tour, named after her 2017 sophomore album of the same name. Marking the 24-year-old singer’s first performance in Milwaukee, Ballerini gave fans plenty of reasons to fill up the beautiful venue for a rare general admission show, which allowed for an especially intimate performance.

If you’re not familiar with Kelsea Ballerini, you either don’t follow country music or you recently woke up from a 4-year coma. One of the Grammy’s 2017 Best New Artist nominees, Kelsea Ballerini has hit the ground running ever since the release of her single ‘Love Me Like You Mean It’, and rightfully so, fans across the country have loved her sound ever since.

Similar to her fellow Best New Artist nominee, Maren Morris, Ballerini delivers an infectious sound and style that casts a huge net, winning over country music fans and pop fans alike. And as a result, Ballerini is drawing early comparisons to Taylor Swift, praise which is both fitting and deserving.

But Kelsea Ballerini isn’t anyone else but Kelsea Ballerini, and she is unapologetic about that on her new album. Performing the 2017 LP from start to finish, track one to track twelve, ‘Graveyard’ to ‘Legends’, Ballerini takes a risk on her new tour by performing her Unapologetically album in it’s entirety.

For the first hour of the performance, fans from the floor to the balcony sang along throughout the entire album. But if you also came out to hear some of Ballerini’s biggest tracks from her earlier work, records like ‘Peter Pan’ and ‘Dibs’, you left the night happy because Kelsea put the cherry on top of a great night with a memorable 4-song encore.

And what better way to complete the performance, than with her mega-hit single, ‘Love Me Like You Mean It’? Tonight may have been Kelsea Ballerini’s first performance in Milwaukee, but with the way her performance and energy was received tonight by the Wisconsin crowd, she will surely return.

Following his show-stopping performance at Milwaukee’s Summerfest last June, the entertaining, uber-talented and cake throwing Steve Aoki returned to Wisconsin and brought his Kolony Tour to The Rave in Milwaukee, WI.

Joined by a huge cast of EMD acts, including Grandtheft, Deorro and Bad Royale, and GOOD Music‘s Desiigner, Steve Aoki brought the party to Milwaukee on a cold Wednesday night.

Soon after doors opened, the music started as the EDM openers, complete with Aoki’s friends and collaborators, got the crowd moving from the very beginning. Energy levels really turned up though, as the ‘Panda’ MC, Desiigner, hit the stage. Performing a number of records from his debut project, New English, the Kanye West-signed rapper brought his wild stage presence to the opening set.

After a brief set change, it was time for Steve Aoki to greet his Wisconsin fans. From start to finish Aoki performed some of his best tracks and remixes, and most importantly he took control of the night, ensuring that every fan left sweaty, out of energy, without their voice and some covered in cake.

Since his memorable Summerfest performance, less than a year ago, Aoki has showed his new found love for Milwaukee on social media a number of times. That love was more than apparent tonight, and you can surely bet that after his past two crazy performances, Milwaukee will be a staple in Steve Aoki tours in the future.

Check out our photos from tonight’s performance below and get your tickets for the remaining dates of the tour here, where $1 of every ticket sold goes to the Aoki Foundation, which supports brain science research.

While Wisconsin’s own, Bon Iver, was performing his critically acclaimed but very chill and mellow album, For Emma, Ten Year, music fans in Milwaukee who were really looking to rock out went to The Rave’s Eagles Ballroom for a wild and energetic performance from Corey Taylor’s Stone Sour.

Although without guitarist Josh Rand, who is recently entered treatment for an unspecified issue, the heavy metal Iowa natives put on a hell of a show for their Midwest crowd.

Opening with their 2017 track, ‘Taipei Person / Allah Tea’, from their newest LP, Hydrograd, the crowd erupted as Taylor greeted his Milwaukee fans. Not even half way through the track, Corey Taylor was already head banging at 100 MPH to the music as the pyrotechnics blasted from stage left to stage right. This set the tone for the rest of the night, as the “Slipknot” founder and his band kept the energy levels high until 11:30.

Despite a relatively short setlist of about 13-songs, fans were still treated to a roughly 90-minute set, complete with songs from the new album and Stone Sour’s catalog of hits, including ‘Tired’, ‘Say You’ll Haunt Me’, ‘Through Glass’ and more. While fans would have loved to hear a performance of the band’s 2002 single, ‘Bother’, it’s impossible to imagine any fan leaving the venue with their voice.

And to cap off the memorable evening, Taylor ended the performance with a great performance of their Hydrograd track, ‘Fabuless’, the first single from the album. From start to finish, Stone Sour put on a sweet set that Milwaukee will not soon forget. It’s hard to imagine that the Bon Iver fans a mile away had the kind of night that those at The Rave had.
