There was a lot of excitement in the air at this event, it was a cool clear Saturday evening and you could almost feel the high energy waiting to enter the venue. The crowd overall was pretty diverse, some were there for Flo Milli, some for Gunna, and some for both. Regardless of who you were more excited to see, you could definitely feel the energy.
Flo Milli opened the event with an electrifying set that immediately set the tone for the rest of the night. She was dressed in a stunning purple glittery outfit and commanded the stage with her confident demeanor. She started her set off with “In the Party”, a great start as she had the crowd sway and dance. And her flow and catchy beats kept the audience moving and enhanced during her performance of “Beef FloMix”, which was one of the highlights of her show. She had dancers performing with her, even throwing it back for the audience from time to time, which hyped up the audience even more. Her ability to connect with the audience was amazing as fans sang along to her songs and danced to her hits.
Gunna’s production is impressive. Before coming out on stage he presented very interesting and captivating visuals on the screen, then released snow-like bubbles to complement and go with the visuals. Once the curtains opened a giant replica of Gunna’s head laid in the middle of the stage where he then emerged from by this time the crowd was ready. It got so crowded on the floor I thought if I were to fall I for sure would not be able to get back up. It was almost hard to breathe as people started moshing and even fighting because everyone’s energy was so high. I instantly thought of Travis Scott’s “AstroWorld”. He started off his set with “Drip Too Hard” , instantly captivating the audience with his flow and beats. He had a vibrant light show and stunning visuals that overall enhanced the performance.
Songs like “Hot” and “Skybox” were met with overwhelming enthusiasm as the crow rapped along and waved their hands in unison. Gunna’s delivery and energetic stage presence made for a great performance. His interaction with the audience was constant as he frequently acknowledged fans, their energy and dedication, which overall made the large venue feel more intimate.
Overall, the energy of the bill Graham Auditorium was electric and was driven by Gunna, Flo Milli, and the audience. I have never been to a more crowded, packed, high energy concert. The bittersweet Tour lived up to the hype, and while I thought I was lowkey going to pass away in the crowd as people moshed and fought, I still had a great time, just went home with some bruises. Definitely a memorable night.
