Sunday (1994) entered the stage with a sublime and poetic presence that captivated the audience with the first note. With each song, they wove an atmosphere that felt like a dream, blending the delicate melodies with undeniable intensity. It’s rare to see a crowd at the barricade equally, if not more, invested in the opener than the main act, but that was certainly the case for Sunday (1994). The support was overwhelming, with fans showing their love and admiration, even holding up signs that read, “I am so proud of you”. The energy in the crowd reflected just how much Sunday (1994) had already connected with their audience, setting the tone for the entire evening.
girl in red’s performance in Indianapolis was a night to remember, marked by moments of humor, vulnerability, and a deep connection with the audience. The night kicked off with high energy as she performed the head-banger “DOING IT AGAIN BABY,” running across the stage and igniting the crowd. Marie Ringheim, the Norwegian singer-songwriter behind the persona girl in red, has quickly become a standout in the indie pop scene, known for her emotionally charged lyrics and captivating stage presence. Playfully admitting that “Indianapolis” was a tongue twister for her, she brought a lighthearted and relatable charm to the evening, instantly connecting with the crowd. Throughout the show, girl in red constantly thanked her fans for showing up, expressing genuine gratitude that underscored the mutual love and appreciation filling the room.
The sea of pride flags in the audience was a beautiful sight, reflecting the inclusivity and love that girl in red’s music represents. The setlist was a perfect mix of fan favorites and classics, leaving the audience singing along to every word. Tracks like “girls” and “Serotonin” had the crowd vibing, proving once again why girl in red continues to be a beloved and influential artist in the indie scene.
Opening up about the struggles she’s faced on tour, she shared how mentally challenging the road has been. One tradition that has helped her through it all is her crowd surfing moment. In the middle of hit song, “i wanna be your girlfriend”, she took a powerful step by asking the crowd to put their phones away and simply be present in the moment, with only their hands raised to support her as she crowd surfed through the audience. It was a special and intimate gesture, creating a sense of unity between her and the crowd.
As the night came to a close, girl in red left the stage with a heartfelt thank you, her performance leaving a lasting impression on everyone in attendance. Her stage energy was nothing short of exhilarating. She interacted with fans at every turn, saying things like “I wanna be your girlfriend” to those wearing ties, and shouting “I love you” back to fans who declared their love for her. She ran and jumped across the stage with uncontainable energy, making every moment feel alive and personal. It was clear that this wasn’t just a concert or fans attending a concert, it was a family. By the end of the night, I found myself becoming a new fan, swept up in the magic of her performance and am looking forward to seeing her tour again!
