On March 29, The All-American Rejects brought a whirlwind of nostalgia, energy, and surprise to the Xcite Center at Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. With the crowd already buzzing, the band made their entrance to the iconic "Gonna Fly Now" from Rocky, setting the tone for a night that would blend theatrical flair with heartfelt musicianship. Tyson Ritter and crew wasted no time launching into “Dirty Little Secret,” immediately turning the venue into a singalong haven for fans of all ages. The evening’s setlist was a well-balanced mix of crowd favorites and deep cuts, keeping both longtime fans and newer listeners on their toes. From upbeat anthems like “Fallin’ Apart” and “Beekeeper’s Daughter” to early classics like “My Paper Heart,” the band showcased their full range. But one of the night’s most emotional moments came from an unexpected fan request: an acoustic, acapella performance of “Heartbeat Slowing Down.” Tyson delivered the first verse and chorus with just his voice and a dim spotlight—his first time performing the song live since 2013. The crowd, stunned into silence, erupted with cheers at the final note. Throughout the show, Tyson Ritter kept the mood light with his signature irreverent humor. He poked fun at the convention center-style room, joking, about what other events were hosted in the room including a furry convention before launching into a riff about Parx Casino’s not-so-subtle encouragement to gamble. “They want you to leave this show... and immediately hit the slots. Don’t let them down!” he quipped, drawing laughs from every corner of the venue. That excitement rolled perfectly into a performance of their brand-new single “Sandbox,” which blended the band’s classic melodic hooks with a fresh, heavier indie-pop edge that had fans filming the moment for social media. One particularly fun surprise came when Tyson improvised a short, comedic song inspired by fans in the front row called “Chrysanthemum.” The details of this moment will be left behind lock and key for anyone not at the concert but just know it was one of the most obscene moments of the set and was a perfect way for the band to launch into "Sweat" after the moment wrapped up. The band also took time to acknowledge their recent appearance at Jonas Con, where they teased their upcoming role as special guests on the Jonas Brothers’ 20th Anniversary Summer Tour. The crowd cheered at the announcement, and Tyson grinned, saying, “We’ve officially joined the Jonas extended universe.” As the show neared its finale, The All-American Rejects rolled out a trifecta of hits—“Swing, Swing,” “It Ends Tonight,” and “Move Along”—each met with raucous applause and heartfelt singalongs. The encore, naturally, closed with “Gives You Hell,” sending the audience out into the casino with their voices hoarse and spirits high. Fans could be heard raving as they exited, calling it “everything I could have hoped for” and praising both the band and the intimate, high-energy setting. In the end, The All-American Rejects proved that they’re far from just a nostalgia act. With clever banter, emotional surprises, a killer setlist, and a brand-new single to boot, their performance at Parx Casino was a reminder that great bands don’t just survive the decades—they evolve, engage, and keep giving fans reasons to fall in love all over again.

Bishop Briggs brought an electrifying storm to Philadelphia’s Union Transfer on the second-to-last stop of her “Tell My Therapist I’m Fine” tour—and if the title wasn’t already dripping in irony, her explosive set made it perfectly clear. Kicking off with “My Serotonin,” she transformed the venue into a cathartic dance party-meets-emotional bootcamp. It felt less like a concert and more like cracking open someone’s diary set to a thunderous bassline. From the jump, Briggs’ stage presence was nothing short of kinetic. She didn’t just command the stage—she treated it like an Olympic track, sprinting, leaping, and tearing across every corner without missing a note. During “Dark Side,” her energy swelled with the song’s intensity, delivering a performance that was equal parts spiritual purge and high-voltage rock ritual. “Woman Is King” arrived like a crown drop. Her voice soared, the crowd erupted, and in that moment, the track became less of a song and more of a statement—powerful, fearless, and unapologetically loud. It was the kind of performance that made you want to run through a wall or at least buy a leather jacket. The new single generated one of the best reactions from the crowd all night long and Briggs flashed more than one of her signature smiles from on stage during the emotional performance of the new track. Briggs didn’t just play a show—she led an emotional endurance test across 20 songs, and Philadelphia was more than willing to sweat it out with her from start to finish in this historic venue. If this was her version of therapy, then the rest of us were gladly booked in as co-patients.

On March 20, an eager crowd packed into The Foundry in Philadelphia, buzzing with anticipation—not just for Spencer Sutherland’s headlining set, but for rising star Cloe Wilder, who opened the night with a performance that felt like she could have been the main event of the evening. With her new EP Life’s A Bitch set to drop just hours later, the energy in the room was unmistakably electric. Fans, some of whom had been waiting by the barricade since doors opened, knew they were witnessing something special—an artist on the cusp of a major breakthrough. The small stage made an intimate set even more so as there was little room for Wilder to make use of but she made sure to give the crowd as much love as she could (and toss them some shirts). Wilder’s live vocals were nothing short of stunning: airy yet controlled, soft-spoken yet cutting through the venue like a well-thrown dagger. Her tone carried the emotional weight of every lyric, wrapping the room in an intimate haze that felt more like a confessional than a concert. One of the night’s standout moments came early, when she sat at the piano and made the stage her own, performing with the kind of poise that silenced even the loudest bar chatter—a rare feat at a packed club show in the Foundry. Her delivery was raw but polished, vulnerable without ever losing its edge and her confidence as a performer is well beyond her years. She closed her set with "Cigarette," her newest single, lighting up the room not with actual smoke, but with a moody, sultry energy that lingered well after she stepped offstage. It was the perfect final note—smoldering, slow-burning, and cool in all the right ways. If Life’s A Bitch captures even a fraction of what she brought to The Foundry, Wilder won’t be opening for long—she’ll be headlining in no time.

Tito Double P lit up the stage with an electrifying, sold-out performance at the Santander Arena in Reading, PA. Fans packed the venue wall to wall, singing along to every word and dancing late into the night. The high-energy show marked a milestone moment for the rising star, solidifying his place as a powerhouse in the regional music scene.

Skillet turned up the heat—literally—when they returned to Santander Arena as headliners on the Winter Jam Tour, armed with explosive pyro, a brand-new set, and a production upgrade that could’ve made a dragon blush. Fans were rocked by fresh fire with new tracks like "Unpopular", "Ash In The Wind", and the aptly named "Showtime." If their last visit was intense, this one cranked it to eleven—louder, brighter, and fully geared to melt faces.
