“Chicago, can I get a hell yeah?” bellowed out guitarist Tommy Davidson, his voice echoing over the exuberant crowd, who yelled it just as loud back, creating a moment of mutual excitement and connection between them and their fans. As the cheers subsided, Davidson continued, “It’s amazing that we’re all here to hang and rage,” resonating with the audience.

The atmosphere was already charged with energy as Beach Fossils delved into their setlist, playfully throwing it back to their 2017 album, “Somersault,” with the track “This Year.” As they transitioned into it, Davidson joked with the crowd about being judged if they didn’t know it, which elicited a hearty laugh from the crowd.

Throughout the night, Beach Fossils played a curated setlist that thoughtfully intertwined dreamy melodies of their early releases to the vibrant energy of their latest tracks, guiding the crowd through an immersive exploration of their musical evolution.
