Last night, English alt-rock band, The 1975, brought their big headlining North American tour to Milwaukee, WI. Returning The Rave for another sold-out performance, this time Matthew Healey and company were joined by Colouring and Pale Waves who both delivered great opening performances which set the tone for the rest of the night.

The 1975 opened the night with their self-titled and opening track from the band’s most recent LP, I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It, an album the band has been consistently touring in support of since its 2016 release. The ‘Somebody Else’ group continued with the album’s next tracks, ‘Love Me’ and ‘UGH!’, the first two singles from the acclaimed project. The night wasn’t all about The 1975’s sophomore album though, as the Manchester natives also performed a number of singles and fan favorites from their 2013 debut.

While the performance was memorable from start to finish, personal highlights from the night include the band’s performances of ‘Girls’ and ‘Somebody Else’. And with a sold-out crowd desperately wanting more, even after a 17-song set, Matt Healey and his band returned to the stage for an encore performance of ‘If I Believe You’, ‘The Sound’ and of course ‘Chocolate’, a track which the night wouldn’t have been complete without.

With a total of 20 songs performed for their Wisconsin fans, the night was complete, and fans left with instant memories of a performance that they will not soon forget.

Less than a month removed from their big performances at Coachella, The xx brought their North American tour to The Rave in Milwaukee, WI. Supported by British singer/songwriter Sampha, one of the biggest emerging names from the past year, The xx was set to deliver a memorable night for their Wisconsin fans in the sold-out crowd.

To kick off the night, Sampha warmed up the packed crowd with a number of tracks from his debut album, Process, which was met with a lot of critical acclaim upon its release just a couple months ago. Easily one of the biggest emerging names in the past year, Sampha not only is touring the continent with The xx, but he has already worked with names like Drake, Jessie Ware and Kanye West. One of the highlights of Sampha’s set in fact, was his performance of ‘Timmy’s Prayer’, a track that Sampha co-wrote with West. Needless to say, this will not be Sampha’s last time in Milwaukee, as he has a very long career ahead of him.

After a brief intermission, while crew set the stage for the night’s main event, it was time for The xx to emerge for their sold-out crowd. Comprised of Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim and Jamie Smith (“Jamie xx”), The xx has be been recording music for nearly a decade, but only just released their first studio album in over four years with I See You. And as a result, their fans across the globe have celebrated their return. Touring the world, performing big name festival sets, and releasing a brand new LP, The xx is as hot as ever.

Tonight the acclaimed indie pop band started their set on a high note, with a performance of their 2017 single, ‘Say Something Loving’. Following up with their tracks ‘Crystalised’ and ‘Islands’, both from their 2009 debut, The xx jumped between their three albums throughout the night, from the moment the show kicked off until the end of the night.

And as fans were left wanting more, following The xx’s 15-song set, the London natives returned for a three-song encore, consisting of some of their best tracks, one from each of their three albums, with ‘On Hold’, ‘Angels’ and ‘Intro’, perhaps their biggest song to date. Reminding fans of the early records and their new music as well, The xx couldn’t have picked a better group of tracks to cap off the memorable night.

Peep our photos from tonight’s performance below, and be sure to get tickets for one of the remaining dates of The xx’s North American tour at their official website before they are all gone.

Photos: Chris Brown Brings The Party to Chicago’s Allstate Arena

Minutes ago, singer Chris Brown brought the party to Chicago, as Breezy brought “The Party Tour” to the Allstate Arena in Rosement, IL. And while the bill was 50 cents short (as rapper 50 Cent was originally slated to support the tour), Chris Brown still brought some major talent to the Windy City, as rap veteran, Fabolous, and newcomers, Kap G and O.T. Genasis, helped warm up the crowd.

First up for the night was College Park, GA native, Kap G. Representing for all the Mexican-American hip-hop heads in the world, the Atlantic Records artist got the night started right with a couple of his best tracks, including his addictive single ‘Girlfriend’.

Kap G was followed by rapper O.T. Genasis, who continued to keep the gears moving, especially with his hit track, ‘Cut It’, a single that was no stranger to the packed arena. With three supporting acts on the bill, it’s no surprise that Kap G and O.T. Genasis’ sets were short lived, but fans were certainly left wanting more.

With one more supporting performance left on the night, a familiar face from the last couple decades hit the stage. As “F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S” greeted the Chicago crowd, the energy levels throughout the Allstate reached a high. With years of hit singles to choose from, including ‘Can’t Deny It’, ‘Breathe’ and Tamia’s ‘I’m So Into You’, Fabolous may be removed from his biggest years in rap, but you wouldn’t have guessed it from tonight. Fabolous can still get a crowd moving and rapping along word-for-word.

Last, but definitely not least, it was time for the tour’s headliner to bless the stage. And while you either disagree with his off-stage antics or strongly disagree with his off-stage antics, there is no denying that Chris Brown is one of the best entertainers around. Whether its his singing, dancing or anything else, Chris Brown is the definition of talent. And tonight he put that talent on an all-out showcase for his Illinois fans.

Brown started his 90-minute set on a high note with performances of ‘Wrist’, ‘Poppin” and ‘Love More’. With more hits than all the openers before him, it was no surprise that the 20+ song setlist was full of classics and fan favorites. But while a stellar setlist was to be expected, it was everything extra that made the night one that fans will not soon forget.

A huge stage, set to reach to as many fans possible, and Brown’s elaborate acrobatics stole the show and make this tour a standout. While fans across the country should be happy that Brown took his Party Tour to the road, you would have guessed that it was tailored for a long-standing Vegas residency with its exceptional production value. If you’re a big Chris Brown fan, this tour is for you, but if you’re even just a fan of great entertainment, then you won’t want to miss this one as well.

Check out our photos from tonight’s performance below, and be sure to get tickets for one of the remaining dates of the The Party Tour at LiveNation.com.

Lil Wayne & Cyhi The Prynce Perform at The Orpheum Theatre in Madison, WI

Last night Lil Wayne brought his Kloser 2 U Tour with GOOD Music’s Cyhi The Prynce to a packed house at the Orpheum Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin. While the night had its highs and lows, the night certainly got off to an amazing start with Cyhi’s supporting performance, but Lil Wayne’s shortened set (although great while it lasted) left his college fans wanting more.

Up first for the night was Kanye West’s GOOD Music artist and writer, the Grammy-nominated Cyhi The Prynce. The Stone Mountain native instantly got the crowd energized, showcasing his untouchable lyrics and amazing wordplay. Cyhi opened his set with some of his tracks like ‘No Dope’ and ‘Legend’, but it was his melody of GOOD Music features (mostly from the label’s Cruel Summer LP) that got the night started on a high note.

Fans rapped along as Cyhi spit his memorable verses from ‘So Appalled’ and ‘Sin City’, before Cyhi closed his set with 2017 single, ‘Nu Africa’. While Cyhi The Prynce came into the scene with his show-stealing guest verses, it’s his new solo records that will help him rise in the ranks of rap. Cyhi The Prynce definitely picked up some new fans in Madison tonight.

After a brief intermission, as crew set up for the night’s headlining performance, it was time for Lil Wayne to hit the stage. As Weezy emerged in his custom Brett Favre jersey, the Young Money MC could have started his set off in a better way. The Packer fans throughout the crowd screamed, as Wayne performed hit track after hit track.

Lil Wayne’s performance began to lose momentum though as he brought a number of guest performers onto the stage. While many of Wayne’s Young Money rappers were pleasant surprises, fans would soon learn that these emerging artists were taking time from Wayne’s set. After Lil Wayne dedicated about 15 minutes of his performance to guest performers, the rap legend only performed a few more songs before saying his goodbyes. Wayne’s performance was memorable and energetic while it lasted; however it only lasted for about 40 minutes. When it was clear that Wayne would not return for an encore, some (of the more drunk) fans began to throw their drinks at the falling curtain.

Twice during his performance Lil Wayne detailed three things to the crowd. 1. We all are nothing without the man upstairs. 2. Wayne is nothing without his fans. And 3. (again) he is nothing without his fans. However many of his fans last night were left scratching their heads, wondering if number 2 and 3 are nothing more than lip service after the short headlining performance.

Check out our photos of Cyhi The Prynce’s performance below, and be sure to get your tickets to one of the remaining dates of the Kloser 2 U Tour here.

John Mayer Brings The Search For Everything Tour to the United Center in Chicago

Moments ago, Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter John Mayer brought his The Search For Everything Tour to a packed United Center in Chicago, IL. Performing for a diverse audience, mixed with fans who either lust over his smooth vocals and good looks or those who can’t help but applaud Mayer’s remarkable skills on the blues guitar (or perhaps all of the above), Mayer brought in everyone tonight.

And almost as diverse as his fan base tonight was his setlist and performance. Mayer’s Search For Everything Tour, which is named after his seventh LP (due out on Friday), is comprised of three different parts, separated by several different chapters. Mayer not only performs with a full band for a third of his set, after a couple brief set changes, John returns for a solo acoustic set and a John Mayer Trio set to cap off the night.

If there was anything to critique about tonight’s performance, it’s that Mayer kept fans wanting more and taking time for the crew to set up between the portions of the show delayed the energy of the crowd. While Mayer performed a large setlist of 20+ tracks, splitting the night into several portions (including an encore) made the performance appear shorter than it actually was. But with seven albums to perform, including some covers (like an awesome cover of Tom Petty’s ‘Free Fallin’), Mayer was able to deliver a little bit of everything to Chicago, even with a huge catalog.

If you weren’t in attendance, you certainly missed out, however lucky for you John Mayer will return to Chicago as part of Dead & Company on June 30th and July 1st, and again on September 2nd as his Search For Everything Tour returns to the area for a second night.

Check out our photos from tonight’s performance below, and be sure to get tickets for one of the remaining dates of the The Search For Everything Tour here.
