T-Pain brought the Mansion in Wiscansin Party Tour to Central Park’s SummerStage on June 23rd, and he had the crowd hyped all night long.
Appearing onstage in front of a massive video wall, T-Pain took to the stage just after dusk in a colorful ringleader look – top hat and all. He opened the show on a high and it only got better throughout the night.
The setlist covered a lot of ground. Most songs were put into mashups to keep the energy up nonstop. He had the hits, the deeper cuts, the covers… a bit of everything. Every night of the tour is just a little bit different, so even if you wanted to, you wouldn’t know what you were walking into. Just a night of living in the moment at the best fancy party ever.
The crowd shared a vulnerable moment with T-Pain as he spoke about how after the illustrious career he’s had, he’s still able to go out and play shows like this as a fully independent artist.
T-Pain is a hitmaker with an unmatched amount of talent. No one will ever forget the night he brought his mansion to New York and invited us to come over.
Beginning the set sitting in front of his keyboard, Bridwell transitioned to his guitar early on and rocked out with the band on stage, often engaging with the fans in the crowd and ensuring everyone was having a good time. Towards the end of the set, the band performed their big hits and fan favorites, “No One’s Gonna Love You”, “Is There A Ghost”, and “Funeral”, which ended their pre-encore set. Leaving the stage briefly, the band came back out for a 2-song encore. Starting their encore with “Blue Beard”, they ended the night with a fun cover of INXS’s “Never Tear Us Apart”! Opening the show this evening was Cincinnati band Carriers. Led by singer/guitarist Curt Kiser, the band had a psychedelic, Americana sound and a fun energy on stage that warmed the crowd up for the evening!
