After an extended hiatus, Pretty Lights made their comeback with an explosive announcement of new music and tour plans - instantly reigniting excitement within their fan base. Pretty Lights Live stands above all others in electronic music space; it marries musicality to innovative visuals in an unforgettable live experience that feels both otherworldly and celebratory of life - nothing compares to witnessing it first hand!
Gramatik, originally from Chicago and currently headlining his own shows, began as Pretty Lights' support act but has grown into his own act over time. He performed a thought-provoking, mystical set that left the crowd swaying to its beats and melodies; closing with "Outbound," written and released in Chicago itself before thanking audience for support before exiting stage left to make way for main act.
As soon as the lights dimmed, the band took to the stage and lighting designer Lazershark created a spectacular spectacle of rainbow hues to accompany their performance. Oscilloscope images displayed Smith's modular synthesizer signals while 3D lidar mapping of band and equipment filtered with trippy Touch Designer manipulations made this show truly an immersive sensory experience for all attending.
Pretty Lights Live is a four-piece band comprised of drummer Borahm Lee (Break Science), bassist Brian Coogan and keyboardist Michael Menert. Together they create an unmistakably rhythmic performance; every member is an accomplished musician themselves while coming together as one powerful unit. Together their synergy is truly remarkable!
The opening set was highlighted by Pretty Lights classic hit "Hot Like Sauce." This iconic song launched their career among college kids fifteen years ago and set the pace for the rest of the night as every seat in the amphitheater became an invitation to dance party!
After several songs had passed, "Understand Me Now" emerged, marking it as an iconic track from their repertoire. The track epitomizes their signature sound and was an instant hit with audiences everywhere - its energy palpable even onstage! As an encore piece, they performed a remixed version of this timeless tune - truly the perfect end to an amazing night full of surprises and love.
