I'll go back to my future just to get to my pastīut knowing me, my DeLorean would probably crash I'm trying super hard to separate the good and the bad Allen put on an unforgettable show, and by the end of the night, he made sure every single person in the audience was a happy camper.Yo, life can be super happy, life can be super sad Another tradition on this tour has been for Allen to crowdsurf in a life raft, and he kept that tradition alive, making it all the way to the back of the crowd before being pushed back to the stage in time to launch into another song.Īs balloons floated around the crowd and confetti fell from the top of the venue, the show felt like a party, celebrating not only Allen, but his fans as well. In the middle of the song, he was handed a cake and threw it into the crowd, covering fans in icing.
One of the most creative parts of the concert came during Allen’s song “Cake Boy,” when he ran to the back of the crowd and jumped on a platform to give fans in the back an opportunity to get close to him. The crowd was by far the loudest, though, during Allen’s most popular songs – “No Faith in Brooklyn” and “No Interruption” off of his first EP All American, and “All About It” off of his first LP People Keep Talking. Allen also played one of his older songs, “James Franco,” just because a few fans held up a light-up James Franco Fatheadand asked him to perform it.Īlthough Happy Camper is only two months old, most of the crowd rapped along perfectly to every song he performed from the album. He constantly catered to the audience, reading their signs to him (“Hoodie, we want your woodie…woah that’s a penis on there!”) and handing the mic to fans to give them a chance to rap his lyrics. Allen’s set was dynamic he jumped from one upbeat song to the next, while the crowd screamed along with every word. To them, the wait was entirely worth it.Īfter three fantastic openers – singer/rapper Bryce Vine, singer gnash, and rapper KYLE – the crowd was extremely energetic and more than ready for Allen. Many other fans at the barricade said they had camped for 24 hours just to be close to the stage and get a wristband to meet Allen after the show. A group of friends who were at the barricade drive 10 hours and then camped outside the venue to be first in line for the show. Many of his supporters show a dedication that many artists would feel lucky to have behind them. Even before the show, Allen himself worked the merch table, helping fans pick what to buy and thanking them for their support. During the show, Allen made sure to constantly thank his fans telling them that because he has no label, their word of mouth is what gets his music heard around the world.
