From BTS' Love Yourself: Speak Yourself Tour to ArianaGrande's Sweetener World Tour, here are the best live shows that our staff saw this year
In particular, Balvin delivered pure euphoria, rattling off international smashes while dancing between oversized cartoon characters onstage and wagging his neon microphone at the crowd. The Colombian superstar spoke nary a word of English, and the Barcelona crowd was palpably grateful for it — yet even those who couldn’t translate his breathless interludes still knew what to do when the “Mi Gente” beat dropped.
That's one of the many reasons I was grateful for the Saturday night of Governors Ball weekend this summer, when after playing at the New York City fest in the daytime, rock power triograced the late stage at undersized lower Manhattan venue Mercury Lounge. I feared the band -- a streaming-unfriendly rock outfit with more critical acclaim than radio hits -- would draw largely folks like me.
I don't anticipate this problem will exactly go away for me as I get older -- and so does the age of this average rock fan. But for the night at least, I was overjoyed that there was still a next generation to let me off the hook while I enjoyed one of the best bands in America in full effect, without feeling guilty just for showing up.
