Kehlani In Vancouver

Kehlani in Vancouver was a night of R&B dreams that will be etched in memory! As the California-based star took to the practically sold-out Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Arena, the energy was electric. Celebrating her fourth studio album, “Crash,” part of her exhilarating Crash World Tour, Kehlani delivered an unforgettable performance. The night was alive with intricate dance numbers, breathtaking visuals, and a sound mix that boomed through every corner of the arena, immersing the audience in a vibrant sonic landscape.

Before the night even began, I heard whispers that Kehlani’s show would be one of the year’s standout events—and yeah, it was. Arriving at Doug Mitchell Arena an hour before the opener, I was greeted by an almost packed house, buzzing with anticipation. Dedicated fans filled the seats, many waving signs that radiated love for the artist, while others were glammed up and ready to party like it was a club night.

Anycia Starts The Show

Kicking off the night was Atlanta-based rapper Anycia, whose unique musical style instantly struck a chord with the vibrant female audience. From the moment she hit the stage, her infectious energy lit up the arena. While her performance may not have hit me personally, the crowd was electric—dancing, singing, and fully immersing themselves in the moment. It was clear that Anycia was doing exactly what she was meant to do: hyping everyone up for the epic night ahead.

A FLO of Nostalgia

As the 90s brought a surge of iconic girl groups that took the world by storm—think Spice Girls, TLC, All Saints, and Destiny’s Child. Kehlani’s second opener, FLO, delivered a performance that felt like a blast from the past. From the very first note, I found myself thinking, “Okay, this is going to be amazing!” Their infectious energy and seamless harmonies felt like they belonged alongside those legendary artists. The stage was alive with synchronized vocals and perfectly choreographed dance moves. Creating a captivating spectacle that kept the excitement soaring.

FLO absolutely set the stage on fire, igniting the entire arena into a frenzy for this incredible British trio, consisting of Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma, and Renée Downer. Their performance was nothing short of astonishing; I was left in total shock, questioning how any opener could ever top such an electrifying show. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, the moment finally arrived; Kehlani took the stage.

As 9:25 PM rolled around, the anticipation hit a fever pitch, everyone was on the edge of their seats, ready for the multi-Grammy award-winning sensation Kehlani to take the stage. With white drapes shrouding the setup and a deep bass rumble that reverberated through our bodies, the crowd erupted into a frenzy of screams. Within moments of her first notes in “Next 2 U,” the drapes dropped to unveil a stunning staircase leading to a circular video screen emblazoned with the word “Crash”. Suddenly, a figure appeared at the top of the staircase; it’s Kehlani. The roar of applause was so thunderous, it drowned out the music, creating an earth-shattering wave of excitement that washed over the arena.

This perfect blend of hits and deeper cuts created an experience that had both casual listeners and dedicated fans singing along and reveling in the magic of the moment.
