The idobi Radio Summer School tour concluded in Portland, Oregon, at the Crystal Ballroom. The show started with a local band, Laughing About Nothing. With their energy and stage presence, you would have assumed they were the headliners; they didn’t hold back. Chase Petra followed next; lead singer Hunter Allen gave off cool-girl energy with a fun sense of humor mixed into their set. The stage felt full even though it was just a guitar and drums on stage. Winona Fighter literally kicked things up a notch, rocking out, reminding the crowd of concert etiquette, and joked that some of the fans would need to look up who the Beastie Boys are after a Sabotage cover. Their energy was comparable to Amyl and the Sniffers. South Arcade came out with their Y2K dance vibe and had no issues performing Famous, where the night before their mics went out. Games We Play set also felt like a throwback to the soundtrack of an early 2000’s movie. They didn’t take themselves too seriously in a good way. Closing out the night was Honey Revenge, who have really settled into themselves in the past few years. The pit opened up throughout the different acts, even with some performers joining in. The security team earned their keep when the final act announced a crowd surfer contest with an attempt to beat the previous night’s record. The tour was meant to be a vehicle for young fans to discover emerging artists, although one could argue this lineup could satisfy the millennial who loves the pop-punk scene.
