Thousands of eager fans of all ages showed up to the outdoor music venue, Marymoor Park to catch performances from their favorite bands and soak up some Vitamin D on a hot summer day. With a song titled “Heat of the Summer” the weather and concert venue made for what was the perfect concert setting for Young The Giant in just outside of the city of Seattle.
After two exceptional performances from opening bands Fitz and the Tantrums and COIN it was finally time for Young the Giant to take the stage. By the time the Californian band took the stage the venue was packed to its maximum capacity with lively fans eager to see the band perform new music.
Young The Giant started off their jam filled set with Oblivion, a song off their fourth studio album, Mirror Master that was released in 2018.

The band performed a 17 song set list that consisted of old and new songs that kept frontman Sameer Gadhia and fans old and new dancing and singing all night long until crowd favorites such as were played, then the crowd would erupt with energy. Some of the crowd favorites that were performed were older songs such as Cough Syrup and My Body off of their self titled album and newer songs from the past 3 years such as Heat Of The Summer (Mirror Master) and Silver Tongue (Home of The Strange). In terms of production the band kept everything pretty mild up until the bands four song encore when Sameer dazzled fans by coming out on stage in a cape with little shards of mirrors that reflected the lights beaming down on him which was a spectacular sight to see.
