by | Jun 28, 2019 | MUSIC

On a beautiful summer evening, the sun set into arrays of pink as a sea of thousands poured into the gates. Music lovers of all sorts came together to experience a once-in-a-lifetime show. 

Opened by Coin, hands could be seen up in the air bumping to the beat of the music as the evening heated up. Later on in the night, headliners Young the Giant and Fitz and the Tantrums closed out the night with a bang. From vivid lighting to polished production, and from crisp sound to incredible performances, this was a night to remember in Richmond. 

The show took place at Virginia Credit Union LIVE! on the grounds of Richmond Raceway on June 25, and RVA Magazine photographer Lucienne Nghiem was on the scene for live coverage. Photos from the night can be found below.
