Leanna Firestone went on stage first. She played her entire set with just her and her guitar. During her set, she sang an unreleased song "Black Box Warning." Firestone was interacting with fans as often as she could. Her performance was fun and full of energy. Maddie Zahm hit the stage and started with her song ‘Blind Spot.’ As soon as she stepped on stage, the crowd started cheering and singing along until the very end. Maddie performed songs from her EP, You Might Not Like Her, and songs from her recently released debut album, Now That I’ve Been Honest. Zahm also sang a new unreleased song "Special," which fans absolutely loved.

She ended her set with her hit song "Fat Funny Friend." She then came back out for an encore and closed with "Little Me" and "You Might Not Like Her." During "You Might Not Like Her" she got off stage and went down in the middle of all the fans and sang the song with them. That moment was one of the many highlights from the show.
Maddie has such a great voice and stage presence. The moment she went on stage she created an unbelievable energy that carried on throughout the show. She made her show a safe environment for fans to be in and sing their hearts out, which they definitely did.
