San Diego really showed up for Saturday as there was definitely a higher attendance and more artists performing. Phantogram was one of our favorite artists from Saturday’s line up. The energy they brought was undeniably present. Phantogram’s electronic sounds, live band, and powerful vocals proved exactly why they were a perfect band for this festival.
Another band that really stood out was X Ambassadors. They played radio hit after hit and it seemed like everyone knew the words to all their songs. At one point the lead singer, Sam Harris, yelled “hug the person next to you! We are all experiencing this moment together!” In that moment the crowd got tighter and it truly felt like an inclusive moment. For a band to be closing out the day you get a lot of tired folks, but they really woke everybody up and encouraged everyone to be present.
Donna Missal opened the festival on Sunday. When she takes the stage, she commands your attention and she did just that. With her story telling, insane vocals, and captivating performance she truly stole the attention of anyone nearby.
Some other performers that really impressive were: Pepper, EarthGang, Walk The Moon, Grace Vanderwaal, Migos, Hippo Campus, and Ximena Sarinana.
The first year of The Wonderfront Festival did not disappoint. We are looking forward to seeing what’s in store for next year.
