Charli XCX/Kitten/Liz - Star Theater

The surprise of the show was when Charli performed "I Love It," a song which she had written, but which had made Icona Pop famous.  The funnest moment was when Chloe of Kitten joined Charli on stage during the encore for a cover of Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy."

Metric/Battleme - Roseland Theater

Portland got lucky.  Metric was the supporting act on the Paramore tour, but they were skipping over Portland.  With a fortuitous gap in the tour schedule, Metric booked a one-off headlining show at the Roseland.  With the freedom afforded by playing a smaller concert outside of a regular tour, Metric brought out a fair number of their older songs.  The crowd ate it up and the show was fantastic.

Lucius/Great Wilderness - Bunk Bar

This was Lucius' first time in Portland, and they put on a great show with wonderful energy.  It was really fun when they did their final encore song in the middle of the crowd.  This was also the first time ever that they had copies of their upcoming record for sale.
