Post-show: Tinashe at Radius Chicago – BB/Ang3l Tour 2024

First show of 2024 – Tinashe at Chicago’s Radius! The 9-city East Coast leg of the BB/Ang3l Tour kicked off in Atlanta back in January and wrapped up here with Chicago being the finale show. I’d previously not been to a concert since last December (for Sky Ferreira), so I was really looking forward to this night. I get crazy if I go to long without live music! After the October show’s pushback (when her joint tour with Shygirl was cancelled), I was essentially counting the days to seeing her on stage again. It’s also been awhile since I checked out a new venue, and East Pilsen’s Radius did not disappoint. This incredibly grand, spacious setting (in a former steel factory) made for a really cool warehouse vibe, and the sound and lighting were spot on. Let’s get into a quick recap!

Upcoming Livestream: BLACKPINK: THE SHOW

For K-pop royalty’s very own Blackpink, this upcoming weekend undoubtedly marks their largest, most-anticipated live performance since their record-breaking appearance at 2019’s Coachella Music Festival. The first Korean girl group to perform at a U.S. festival, the ladies showed the states exactly what they were about and left us wanting more. No, literally. We wanted more and after wrapping up the Blackpink In Your Area World Tour about a year ago – BLINKS are finally getting their wish. Virtually, of course.

Video Vibes: 2020’s Unforgettable Quarantine Performances

We all miss live music right? It’s honestly been forever since we’ve been to a concert. For me? Last February to be exact – so sad. But, I guess I am pleased that at least our generation has limitless capabilities when it comes to sharing media and content online. While the seemingly endless virus created a physical disconnect between the musician and the fan, 2020’s social distancing restrictions allowed for artistic freedom, thinking outside of the box, and an opportunity to push creativity to the limit in an attempt to remain continuously engaged with supporters.

Post-show: RL Grime – Nova Tour

Last month I was able to once more enjoy my React Presents perks, and finally get to see RL Grime live at Aragon Ballroom. Not to categorize the genre, but I this was my 1st EDM-specific show that I’ve attended and it was LIT! The venue was massive, the crowd was nothing like I anticipated (in the best way), and my stupid knee brace was not going to stop me from catching The Nova Tour.

Post-show: Mura Masa – Red Bull Sound Select

The first of my 2 Red Bull Sound Select shows last week, I took myself out on a much-needed date and went to check out someone I’d been DYING to see: Mura Masa! I missed him during Lollapalooza this year, so I’m glad I got a second chance to experience his show at Concord Music Hall (even if it meant squeezing three concerts into three days *shrug*). At $15, this was seriously a bargain and easily one of the best shows I have seen this year.
