Miles Parks McCollum, better known as Lil Yachty, had a sold-out show at the Egyptian Room at Old National Centre in Indianapolis, IN on Sunday night during his Field Trip Tour. His DJ who goes by the name of ‘Anthony Somebody’, had the crowd fired up by playing both older and newer rap hits including “Meltdown” by Travis Scott and Drake, which Drake made a special appearance at Yachty’s Toronto show a few days prior.
Before he graced the stage, Lil Yachty had three openers which included rapper Stoop Lauren, The Concrete Family, and R&B singer Nick Hakim. All of which collectively kept the audience alive and enthusiastic until it was time for the main event.
Wearing Tomás Vokoun’s Nashville Predators Jersey, Lil Yachty took the stage opening with his song, “drive Me Crazy!”. Tensions were high and the energy of the crowd could be felt from the front to the back as Yachty also had an all-female band and choir backing him up. Performing hits such as Poland, Broccoli, iSpy, and Strike (Holster), fans sang along and rapped every single word as the show continued. With Lil Yachty only being about halfway through the North American portion of his tour, this is definitely a show you do not want to miss out on.

Chicagoans were treated to an outdoor show presented by Lakeshore Drive In on Friday, August 14th, 2020. Amid a global pandemic, the live entertainment industry was hit hard and there was a lot of uncertainty on what the future of live shows would be. Thanks to production companies like Lakeshore Drive In, fans are able to enjoy their favorite artists from the comfort of their own car!
Starting off the night was local group Dial Up, who brought the energy and amped up the crowd. While you are only allowed to walk around the perimeter of your car, attendees still found ways to have fun with their friends and dance along as if there weren't any restrictions. It's even quite fun to hear the response to "make some noise!" be everyone's car horn. Dial Up hit the crowd with a lot of nostalgia, as their soulful music sounded to be heavily influenced by R&B and Hip Hop from the 90's.
Lil Yachty then took the stage for the first time since December of 2019. Playing a good mix of new and old hits, with a few of his features in between, the entire crowd found a way to cheer him on. Fans stood in the bed of their pick up trucks, others sat on the roof of their car; no matter how they did it, the fans found creative ways to show their appreciation to experience live music once again. You could feel the energy from the crowd, and it showed in Lil Yachty's performance when catching quick glimpses of him genuinely smiling and enjoying being on the stage once again.
