The "Wake Up & Be Awesome" Tour featuring The Summer Set, We Are The In Crowd, and Go Radio made their stop at the Marquis Theatre in Denver Saturday night and did not leave the sold out crowd disappointed.

Florida based rockers Go Radio were first up having just released their sophomore album last fall Close the Distance warmed the crowd up with a tight eight song set that included standouts as "Collide", "Goodnight Moon" and "I Won't Lie." One highlight included vocalist Jason Lancaster getting behind the keyboards and belting out the crowd favorite "Go To Hell". With Go Radio there is little in between song fan interaction but they always have the fans attention letting their talents speak loudly for them to enjoy.

 

New York based pop punk We Are the In Crowd were up next continuing the energy and played a entertaining set. The chemistry between Tay Jardine and Jordan Eckes is obvious and dominates the show in a good way. They each take the lead and then harmonize together during parts of the songs. For being petite, Jardine can hold her own live never standing in one spot and often times leaning into the crowd letting out a scream. Highlights in the set included "See You Around", fan favorite "Kiss Me Again" and set closer "Rumor Mill".

 

Headliners The Summer Set welcomed to the stage by loud screams of the crowd bursted into the opening song "F**K U Over. This uptempo rocker set the tone for a set of high energy anthem's performed tightly all night long. Their highly anticipated album Legendary is due on April 15 (Fearless Records) and while most while most bands just touch on a song or two The Summer Set are in full force incorporating a number of these new songs into their set for their fans to enjoy. Songs such as "Maybe Tonight", "Boomerang", and "Legendary" got a huge response from the crowd as well as the older ones. Brain Dales is a solid frontman and continued to keep the crowd's energy high as he often would lean into the first few rows garnishing the cheers of the fans. Other Highlights from the set included the cover "Locked Out of Heaven" from Buno Mars and the encore huge hit "Chelsea".
