Gus Dapperton closed out the Henge Tour in Philadelphia on December 7th at Union Transfer. It’s always special having Gus back in Philly, after attending Drexel University, he is always able to throw in some fun facts about the songs such as, where the songs on the setlist were written on campus.

Henge is Dapperton’s third studio album, and his music continues to get better as time goes on. If I had to give one negative mark for the show, it would be that there weren’t enough tracks off Henge, but despite that, the setlist consisted of a wide range of songs from across Gus’ musical catalog. Including a fun mystery song chosen by a fan during a random drawing on stage.

Gus’ live shows never disappoint and are a guaranteed fun time. Even with a knee injury, Gus was able to have a little dance on stage to some songs. Excited to catch this flawless band live again!
