On Friday 6/9, Young the Giant brought their summer tour to the Leader Bank Pavilion, offering a themed presentation of their latest album American Bollywood.

Concert attendees who braved the intermittent rain showers early in the evening were treated to an opening set by TALK, back after playing Boston Calling Music Festival two weeks prior. That performance was followed by the infectious energy of Milky Chance, who took some time out of their set to celebrate the release day of their brand new album Living In A Haze.

 Young the Giant came out to a stage festooned with a Bollywood motif and a looming disco ball, as an intro video began Act I of a setlist divided into a five act structure. Each act was punctuated by brief video interludes, but the sheer excitement from the crowd and the band’s dynamic performance offset any potential break in the show’s momentum. The band’s crowd-pleasing setlist featured a balanced mix of newer songs, but they also had the audience singing and shouting along to just about every one of the classic selections from the back catalog. Fittingly, Young the Giant concluded the concert with “My Body,” which had thousands of fans screaming the lyrics “I want more!”
