Last year Young the Giant released their 5th studio album, American Bollywood, an album showcasing the themes around Sameer Gadhia parent’s move from India to the United States and what they went through as American immigrants. The stage design immediately caught my attention, capturing themes of the album while also adding on fun themes like a disco ball. Another exciting element of the show was the break up of the setlist into four different Acts (much like the album), sprinkling three or four songs split up with a mildly Wes Anderson video breaking up the sets.

This tour was also special because we were treated to a co-headlining bill comprised of Germany’s Milky Chance. The band was also celebrating a recent album release with Living in a Haze. Featuring their signature sound of New Wave and blending elements of reggae and club beats, you can’t help but have a little dance and fun.
