INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA (October 26, 2018) – The latest sold out show to grace the Hoosier State came courtesy of MOKB Presents, Alt 103, Old National Centre and a supremely talented titan of the music industry, Young the Giant. Fans came from all over for a chance at seeing the prestigious band, and their devotion was evident as the house packed full before the opener even thought about stepping on stage. The anticipation in the air was thick from front to back, and manifested as an electric roar as the stage lights illuminated for the first set.

Lights stepped out into the spotlight with a fire inside so bright that the extra luminescence was scarcely needed. Her spot on vocals wove a magic carpet throughout the air that lifted the crowd up to new heights in the sky with every note. Light’s effervescent set left an energized crowd even more exuberant for the upcoming headliner about to take the stage.

 

Young the Giant finally appeared to a room immediately awe-stricken by the presence of such great musicians. Every member of the audience shined just as brightly as the illustrious gentlemen on stage from the glow of being near their epic talents. Every eye was fixated to the front, and every ear was honed into the glorious harmonies swirling around them.

The song list was jam-packed full of hits, but as every fan in-house knew there were no bad apples to be found in Young the Giant’s discography anyway. Each and every melody delivered what was promised live just as it does on the album, so the Egyptian Room teemed with shiny toothed grins as far as could be seen. The audience was completely in tune to the band and each other, so not a single lyric was missed whether older or newer material. The entire Young the Giant set was mesmerizing from the first moments to the last including an epic acoustic version of “Strings” somewhere in the middle.

  

The men played phenomenal renditions from their latest release, Mirror Master, beginning with its title track, and were not shy to play more from the album like the passionate performance of “Superposition” they broke into as they rejoined the crowd at the last for an encore. Of course, they wouldn’t be Young the Giant without slipping in some of their crowd pleasing classics like “Cough Syrup” as a huge thank you to the fans for all of their years of loving support, and the men made sure to repeatedly speak of their appreciation as well. They finished the night with a stunning display in the form of a giant sing along to “My Body” that was so wondrous it would have been no surprise to find the entire city of Indianapolis harmonizing along as well.

  

Young the Giant and Lights definitely manufactured a marvelous evening out of musical magic at the Egyptian Room of Old National Centre. It was sad to see the night come to an end, but the sold out audience certainly left with a newfound camaraderie created by the enchantments of the show. It was the type of concert that fairy tales are made of, and Young the Giant will undoubtedly be remembered fondly in Hoosier hearts for many moons to come.
