Fourth Kygo – Cloud Nine Tour stop: Navy Pier Chicago
Gryffin kickes off the Cloud Nine experience with a quick 30 minute set. He’s music is sexy, hip, young, fresh, a great new take on classic house music. Griffyn has a quality application of live instruments while blending his talent with melodical electro music.
Gryffin
Thomas Jack was everything! We wanted to see him at TomorrowWorld this past year, but due to the weather and festival regulations, we missed him. So, this was our time. He’s everything you would ever think of. He’s musicality is incredible. He’s ability to take an upbeat pop song and turn it into tropical pineapple feel sound is unreal! GO SEE HIM!
Thomas Jack
After a 30 minute wait, Kygo hops on his spaceship like stage. His stage production is great, the lights, the videography, the synchronization of his live instruments with the produced tracks and even the remixed tracks. Kygo is a electronic musical genius! He had a grand piano, live vocalists, and played multiple instruments. In addition to all the instrumental magic, Kygo had friends join the stage for live performances. R. Kelly hopped on for a quick song and the crowd went nuts! We went nuts! A great point of reference, for your music festival goers, the Cloud Nine Tour feel like the Sahara Tent at Coachella. If the Cloud Nine Tour is coming to your city… get your tickets now!

Like many, we were introduced to The Chainsmokers by their hit single “Selfie”. We remember walking the grounds of Ultra ’14 as they hit the main stage and since then been huge fans! Always making sure we catch their sets if we find ourselves in the same festival, writing about their latest single and (the coolest part of all) chatting – via email – about their latest work and upcoming shows. So, after missing them at TomorrowWorld and finding out they were coming to Indy, we arranged for a killer night. We brought our intern Juan Carlos Paredes to snap pix and review the show! Check out what his impression of the show:
A photo posted by The Chainsmokers (@thechainsmokers) on
Since we showed up a little we got to see what the crowd was like. So far it’s exactly what I was thinking it would be, a lot of Indy folk looking to have a good time. A lot of pretty girls, hyped dudes, and everything in between. My favorite part was seeing all the pacers jerseys.
Alex Paredes & Juan Carlos Paredes at The Chainsmokers – Friendzone tour
Super Duper were on stage when we arrived. A group I’ve never heard of before. Their style is a mixture of chill house and upbeat. They have a live drummer on stage which I thought is petty cool. They threw in some random bangers that got the crowd vibing to their mellow mix. Shaun Frank came next. First song, Banger! Also, his first time in Indy. Shaun threw killer beats from the beginning and I made me fall in love for his style. During his set we had the opportunity to interview Matoma, which was an awesome experience. But from what I remember (I was sober the whole time) it was exactly what the crowd needed to keep hype for the next two sets.
Matoma was amazing! I’m not just saying that to brown nose either. I will admit I was not familiar with his music beforehand but my immediate impression of him was nothing but positive. His blend of tropical house and popular music was incredible. The crowd, and myself, would loose their minds whenever the build up came to a popular song followed by an intense drop. On top of all that, I really enjoyed whenever he, and the other performers, would throw on another dope song from another dj. I heard some Kaskade, Skrillex, Steve Aoki, The Weeknd, Taylor Swift, and the list goes on. Not only was Matoma good but we had the pleasure of seeing him perform from backstage.
The Chainsmokers: Holy. Shit. I knew they were good but they were on a whole other level. Right before they started we were upfront trying to get a good angle for pictures and next thing I know the bass drops (right after the intro) as I’m standing next to the speakers and I nearly lost my balance! They started with a lot of their popular songs and transitioned into a laundry list of songs I’ve never heard of. I didn’t realize that they had trap songs which lead to my pleasant surprise. Not only were they amazing but their set lasted for a respectable amount of time. They had a blend of their own songs, some mixes, and some bangers all blended smoothly. Overall, it was an amazing concert, full of energy and unreal beats!.
The Automatic tour is more than just a tour, it’s more than a show, it’s more than music… It’s an emotion, it’s a series of feelings wrapped in an incredible sequence of beats and lights that penetrate your mind and cover your body in goosebumps. That was our experience and we’re pretty confident that everyone else can say they felt it too. Kaskade brought a long some great talent along with him so for your treat… here’s an insight of our night:
– Chicago locals
– ALL types of house
– Perfect blend of R&B/Hip-Hop (90s – today), electro and “pop” energy.
– Did not stop dancing behind their decks, kept up with the crowd
3rd: CID
– quality house
– Coachella stage, that’s what we’re call it, it’s incredible in person! You have GOT to see it it!
– Opened with ‘Disarm You’
– The show is emotional… Like the beginning of a story everyone needs to live
– Closes with ‘We Don’t Stop’
DISCLOSURE at Chicago’s NAVY PIER on Thursday, October 15th, which will also feature support from special guests including Dirtybird’s head honcho, CLAUDE VONSTROKE along with multi-instrumentalist and nu-disco producer, POMO.
Yep… and that’s a slow yeeeeppp, like the one you whisper to yourself when the beat drops and each and every single house beat enters your body and as you connect with what the DJ is dropping and you become one with the crowd… yep! Disclosure is infamous for creating, over and over, that experience. Their shows, to us, are dark in the best of ways and now the brother duo, is finally arriving to Chicago!
