Fans, fittingly, endured the 95-degree heat wave in the Portland, Oregon area to show up for Glass Animals at McMenamins Edgefield, located in Troutdale, supported by Olga Gartland. Both came off sets at Outside Lands the past weekend as part of their Tour of the World Tour.

Fans sprawled on the lawn of Edgefield on towels and chairs. Before the sun went down, Olga Gartland ran out on stage to a recording of Bonnie Tyler’s, Holding Out For A Hero possibly an ode to her latest album, “Everybody Needs a Hero”. Accompanied by drummer, Sara Leigh Shaw, and guitarist/keyboardist, Scarlet Halton whom she lovingly called the Divas, began the set. She had a playfulness about her, rocking out on the stage with a melodic voice. A few from the pit sang along to Late to the Party. After she played a few of her songs, before covered Chappell Roan’s, Red Wine Supernova and started her sing-along.

The iconic pineapple (traditionally given away during “Pork Soda”) could be found stage left. Smoke blew from the pit, signalling the start of the show. Illustrations of galaxies displayed on the screen are having a conversation about their enthusiasm for the Glass Animals to take the stage.. The stage was designed as if the band was on a spaceship with computer monitors and a bubble that lit up different images, including one that said Edgefield as they began singing “Life Itself”. The space theme was supported throughout with visuals of planets and stars on the screen and lasers that audibly thrilled the crowd. During Creatures in Heaven, lead vocalist Wavey Davey was impressed by the sea of different colored cell phone lights from the crowd that a fan had set up. He later went out into the crowd during Gooey followed up by Vampire Bat, their latest single released a week prior. A noticeable breeze could be felt at the encore, but relief from the high temperatures could not be felt from their final song, Heat Waves.
