Almost Monday took over the Van Buren stage on Friday night and the packed venue couldn’t get enough.

Quadeca brought his Life1 tour to Mesa as his first stop featuring his newest studio album that dropped earlier this month.Quadeca started out on Youtube, making his first project at just 14, and the expansion of his music through the years has been impactful. Producing a story-telling film following his last album, alongside collaborating with other artists to create experimental projects that break the barriers of what we've seen in the music scene so far, Lasky never stops.

Chloe Moriondo and Cavetown, a dynamic duo who go hand in hand, are performing together and brought the Running With Scissors tour to Phoenix. Both artists bring a welcoming, openly queer vibe that made the venue feel like home. With the crowd already dancing and singing along to the pre-show music curated for the night, the energy radiated the walls.

The bands that sweep through the Nile Theater in Mesa have never let me down. The show on September 30th brought that fact to light once more for me.

Grace Gachot, a London-based pop artist, left a memorable impression in Phoenix opening for Henry Moodie’s Mood Swings tour. Though the Rebel Lounge was their second to last stop of the North America leg of their tour, Grace still gave a phenomenal performance. She sang her newest single, Mount Olympus, as well as other well known songs like Naked, showing raw emotion and vulnerability with each lyric.

Surfer indie rock band Archer Oh took the stage at the Nile Theater before The Frights on Saturday night. With the venue packed and the crowd chatting excitedly before the band even hit the stage, I knew we were in for a fun night.

Reliving the end of my teenage years with a known name that took 2016 by storm in the music world, gnash is back in the game after 7 years of not touring, and the fans still knew every word. Phoenix was the second stop of the garden tour and the entire stage was decked out… like a deck! If there’s one thing you need to know about gnash, he goes all out with his tour themes. Flowers, archways of floral arrangements, a bench and watering can covered the stage. gnash stepped out in a floral bouquet jumpsuit completed with gardening gloves (which he admitted was for his nail biting habits, hey! We all cope somehow in this world).
