Verge Campus tour came through for their first night and 2nd year anniversary right here at UCF! A night full of different genres including indie, hiphop, and EDM certainly did not disappoint.

Rain was pouring for a lot of the day but luckily it only drizzled later on and it did not affect people from coming in line. Some were listening to these artists for their first time while other fans were proudly sporting ‘bandmerch’ from favorite artists they were about to see.

Doors finally opened and an empty arena quickly filled up with students eager to see their favorite band.

10153601_769032643107199_424976438_n The first performers were right here from UCF: DJ Sheen Boogie and Kyle Edwards. Their performance wasn’t one of their best and although I was in the front row, you can still not hear most of their music because the bass was too loud and overpowering. They were a bit repetitive at times but knew how to mix between different electronic genres well.

After this performance, foam lights were thrown out and an MC got the crowd pumped for what was to come next. Three bands of different genres but all were sure to please everybody no matter what music they mostly enjoy.

Radical Something (an indie hip-hop band with a Californian vibe) came out and set a chill mood for the crowd. Their performance got the crowd singing things like “we were just kids” along with them and all of their friends. They had a great mix of songs that were fun to dance or sing along to.

Next came a performance like no other: Logic. This young rapper amazed everyone around me and knew how to flow one song with another so eloquently. He spit fluid raps on top of famous hip hop melodies and mastered them. His performance was great and was the best mood setter for what was to come.

After all the anticipation, the main event of the night came out. Krewella definitely knew what they were doing although they were not joined by Rain Man that night. These sisters blessed with great voices went between their greatest hits and other songs which they would sing along to.

The whole crowd never stopped singing, headbanging, or dancing along the whole night. Mid-performance, the sisters did a ballad called “human” which was dedicated to all of their fans and got all students swaying their lit up phones or foam lights. Building up from that seemed like a hard task but they managed it well and got the crowd all turned up again to even better mixes and more dancing. They interacted extremely well with the entire arena and it shows why this group is so high up in the EDM world.
