[ATTENDED: September 30, 2023] Dayglow
Sometime in April, my daughter asked if we could go to the All Things Go Festival. I had never heard of this Festival and assumed the answer was no. But then I saw that it was at the Merriweather Post Pavilion which is exactly three hours away from us. So when tickets went on sale, I managed to get two pre-sale tickets for Sunday. And then when they went on proper sale, I managed to score two more for Saturday.
Sunday was the far more important day for music. I mean, the whole reason she wanted to go was to see boygenius (and Lana Del Rey). But this was a great day of music to be sure.
I didn’t know Dayglow and, in fact, I didn’t really see them at this event either. We were near the Chrysalis Stage and were queuing for food and bathrooms while Dayglow was on. The women’s bathroom lines were insane, so i feel like I heard most of Dayglow’s set while I sat on a bench and waited.
Dayglow is primarily indie-pop. Cathy and infectious and pretty perfect on a warm summer day. It would be hard not to smile while they were playing.
They played a cover of Tears for Fear’s “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.”
I enjoyed “Run the World!!!” an infectiously upbeat song. Although I don’t remember much else. Nevertheless, they were a pleasant band to have playing while I enjoyed the Festival.
It is a little odd though that he played five songs from his first album and only one each from the two later ones.
