The Kid LAROI took the stage at 9:15 p.m. at the Masonic on June 5th. The stage featured a raised circular platform where he spent most of the night performing.

He opened the show with songs from his new album, Before I Forget, including “Me & You,” “July,” “Hold Still,” and “Never Came Back.”

For much of the evening, the atmosphere was laid-back and intimate. However, when Act Two began, the energy shifted dramatically as the crowd erupted into a hype-filled mosh pit during performances of “Diva” and “I Condemn.” He later performed fan-favorites “A Cold Play,” and “Girls,” and ended the night with “Nights Like This.”

Clara La San took the stage at 9:00 p.m. at the Warfield. As smoke slowly filled the stage and drifted into the fans, anticipation grew throughout the venue. She emerged gradually through the haze, and as the smoke cleared to reveal her standing center stage, the fans erupted into cheers.

She opened the night with a powerful sequence of fan favorites, including “Runnin,” “Another Night,” “Who Said,” and “Talking To You,” immediately setting the tone for an unforgettable performance.

Throughout the evening, the fans sang along passionately to every song, creating an electric atmosphere shared among friends, couples, and longtime fans. Several tracks stood out as crowd favorites, particularly “In This Darkness,” “Unplanned,” “Rock Your Body,” and “Feel Good,” which served as the perfect closing song to end the night on a high note.

Day 2 of the two-night Seven Lions show at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium was completely sold out. Staff were surprised by how long the entry lines stretched before the doors opened. Fans were eager to see Seven Lions, along with his openers Rad Cat, Yetep, and back-to-backs set by Jason Ross and Kill The Noise.

Seven Lions began his set at approximately 10:30 with the track “Free”. As he took the stage the audience responded with enthusiastic cheers. The crowd especially loved hearing “First Time” and the smooth transition from “Strangers” to ” Lost Islands.”

The sold-out show started at 9:30, and you could feel the momentum building up as Jordan Ward stepped on stage. He opened with “Stranger,” then rolled right straight into “Noisy Neighbors” and “Ross Fit,” setting a late-night R&B vibe that carried through the rest of the set. The 1 hour and 15 minute set leaned heavily into his newest album, BACKWARD, running it nearly from front to back, allowing the fans to enjoy his newest project fully. As the night almost came to an end, “FAMJAM4000” came on, voices rose, and phones lifted, drawing one of the strongest responses of the night as the crowd sang along in unison.

The production remained minimal, mirroring his “apartment,” and transforming the stage into a lived-in, personal space. A television, mini treadmill, and two chairs were arranged across the stage. Accompanied by a live band, the production felt intentional. The combination of the apartment-inspired set and live instrumentation created a performance that felt both immersive and artistically cohesive.
