Lights brings her “Baby I’m Back” tour to Heaven with special guest tiLLie in support of her new album PEP. Absolutely infectious is the easiest way to describe Lights. Catchy ear-worms, tons of charisma, and an obvious joy for performing made it nearly impossible to look away. She was incredibly thankful to be back performing, something she emphasized again and again.
Atlanta musician tiLLie opened up the show. An Atlanta native, tiLLie took the stage with a ton of spunk. She is known to self describe her music as somewhat a “Nightmare Pop,” and lets just say tiLLie was certainly chaotic live but in a good way. Her poppy tunes over dark beats and riffs stood out from most other music I’ve heard recently. Fans seemed to very much dig the choice of opening act for this tour. And that’s always a good sign. Check out tillie’s setlist below:

The performance that LIGHTS gave was all about joyous energy, with a little mix angst, sadness or despair. Lights and her crew powered through 20 confident, energetic and uplifting songs. Included were some emotionally heavy songs like “Savage”. The fans enjoyed every single minute spent at this show. Singing their hearts out, word for word. It was a very emotional/loving/positive vibe LIGHTS brought on this tour. She played a handful of newer material and some older material throughout her twenty song setlist
As Lights brought her set to a close with a mix of crowdpleasers and a surprise. The danceable “Love Me” and the anthemic “Giants” but just when fans thought it was over She concluded the show with a two song encore “grip” and “In My Head.”
