Joining Halsey on stage was jazz keyboardist Greg Spero (who had family in Minnesota) and drummer Nate Lotz. Strange, but absent on stage were her guitarists when we first saw Halsey on her first ever tour with the Kooks.
Halsey previewed some songs ("Castle", "Hold Me Down", and "Ghost") from her forthcoming Badlands album, set for release August 28, 2015, on Astralwerks.... however, she ended her set with her most popular song "Hurricane".

Singer Emily Haines is always fun to watch, often doing her rollerskate and hands waving dancing moves. My favorite was for "Cascades", Haines brought out a shawl or cape and stood over the upflowing fan to create this nice visual flowing cloth dance.
The message was clear, Metric love writing and performing music... otherwise they wouldn't have done this for the past 17 years. Haines also joked that the music help her look 26.
While I love the band, I fear that the days of them doing old favorites from Old World Underground, Where Are You Now? are long gone. The current Metric band, as it is, will only play newer material. Which I can understand, musicians have to change and grow.
When Pagans in Vegas comes out in September 2015, hopefully Metric will be stopping by Minneapolis on their headline tour.

We've been watching and covering Imagine Dragons since their early days at smaller club shows (Triple Rock, Varsity Theater), and we're incredibly happy to see them do so well with these big stadium shows. The band is incredibly thankful and grateful for everyone in their lives for making them such a success, calling out Cities97's Paul Fletcher and singer Dan Reynolds thanking his wife (Aja Volkman of Nico Vega).
In the seven years that Imagine Dragons toured as a band, this is the first tour that they've incorporated lasers into their shows... and they utilized the lasers near the end of the set. Combining with the smoke machine, the lasers created an unforgettable look and feel to their show.
The band ended their set with their most popular song "Radioactive", which got the biggest audience reaction and sing-alongs... however, I felt the highlight of their set was for their encore song "The Fall", which featured images of trees and falling leaves... complete with flowing confetti from the ceiling!
Imagine Dragon's second studio album Smoke + Mirrors is out now on Interscope Records/KIDinaKORNER.
