[ATTENDED: September 28, 2025] Doechii-All Things Go [Day 3]

Her stage was designed like an overgrown jungle.  A backdrop of trees and on the stage all kinds of greenery–trees and shrubs and platforms covered in green carpeting.  It looked great.

At long last Doechii came out on stage  She was wearing a gray blazer and crazy long white finger nails.

She stood on the tall platform and rapped her songs. I don’t know any of her songs and had no idea if she was doing one long song or (as was more likely and true) a whole bunch of short songs.

In between songs she hyped her DJ Miss Milan who hyped her back.  Doechii also showed off her moves, with wicked dancing.

Some of her beats were more fun for me than others.  I enjoyed Bitch I’m Nice, which had a great beat and interludes as well as fun interjections from her DJ Miss Milan.  Miss MIlan made me laugh because it seemed like she was primarily a hype person–“make some noise!”; “it’s Doechii!!”

There was quite a reaction for NISSAN ALTIMA.  Her platform lowered and she climbed down to stage level.  She took off her blazer and revealed a gray one-piece, which allowed her to shake her ass even more.

They played a sample of America Has a Problem (by Beyonce) and Doechii asked if she could freestyle (yes, she can).

Doechii then left the stage (I know it’s part of the act, but I couldn’t believe she left after ten minutes) and DJ Miss Milan took over getting hands in the air and asking if we had a good time.  Doechii came back pretty quickly–I assume to drop off her blazer–and returned for Alter Ego.  This one was a real banger.

[ATTENDED: September 28, 2025] Ashe-All Things Go [Day 3]

I had not  heard of Ashe either (apparently I was the only one who hadn’t).  She has put out several albums and has worked with some pretty major people (see below).

I was amused to discover that her album titles are her full name: Ashlyn, Rae, and  Willson.  What will she do next?

I really enjoyed her set and would happily see her again.  I need to check out her full albums.

Another Man’s Jeans sounded a bit like Sheryl Crowe–a jangly pop song with an oooooh bridge.

It segued right into Angry Woman with some really funny lyrics

Nobody likes an angry woman/I always say the things that I shouldn’t/Oh what a shame my tongue’s not tied/You can do whatever you want/I’ll do whatever I like.

It also had some really rocking guitars which I rather liked.  Emma Harvey played some killer solos.

When she sang The Little Mess You Made, someone handed her a present.  And someone else handed her a sash that read “Ashe things Go.”   Which she put on backwards (twice) before getting it right.  Turns out The Favors is a band that she formed with Billie Eilish’s brother Finneas, which  is why it is so damned catchy.  Apparently it came out last week.

[ATTENDED: September 28, 2025] Rachel Chinouriri-All Things Go [Day 3]

I had enjoyed Ashe and was really curious what Rachel Chinouriri would be like.  I hadn’t heard of her either, but I liked her style immediately.

She put has a lot of videos behind her–presumably ones for her music videos.

Her band was great–I really liked her lead guitarist.

The loud and quiet transitions in Cold Call were great.

I loved the whistle melody of It Is What It Is.  She had a really funny and enjoyable video that played behind her as she sang.  It was great.

A lot of people seemed to know her songs and sing along–plenty of hand waving during the chorus of 23:42.  She seemed really appreciative of her audience–both the fans who knew her and the brand new fans.  (more…)

[ATTENDED: September 28, 2025] Peach PRC-All Things Go [Day 3]

After Alemeda, Peach PRC came out.

I had never heard of her.  Obviously, I knew about the rapper Peaches, but this was not her.  I also didn’t understand what the PRC was all about.  (It’s an abbreviation for Porcelain which she felt was too long to type out on social media, huh).

She’s an Australian pop singer and I’m kind of blown away how many Australians play this festival (and how popular so many Australian bands are here…  I’m delighted).

So Peach PRC is a pure pop singer.  She was on stage with just her and a guitarist–the rest of the music was on backing tracks.  And her guitarist shredded like crazy–tons of energy, bouncing around–a perfect complement. (more…)

[ATTENDED: September 28, 2025] All Things Go [Day 3]

And we woke up for Day 3.  A nice perk is that the hotel is next to a Royal Farms so I grabbed some fried chicken and their weird Chicken Palooza shirts (on sale for $5 since the Palooza was over).

This day proved to be very confusing because things were shuffled around.

Lola Young was supposed to perform but she got sick the day before and couldn’t make it (this was devastating to me as she was  the main person I wanted to see today).  And they switched where the final acts were going to perform.  DJO was supposed to play just before Kesha at the Pavilion stage and Doechii was supposed to headline the smaller stage.  They switched those two (I’m not sure who benefitted from that more).  But we didn’t find any of that out until we were there.

We headed over to the venue relatively early because we had to check out of the hotel.  I wanted to see Jasmine 4.T  because they opened for Lucy Dacus when we saw them but we arrived too late and missed their whole set.  So, typical, we arrived near the end of the 20 minute set today too.

They were playing at the Chrysalis Stage and it was really hot.  But some nice women shared their picnic tale with us (which was in the shade!) and we enjoyed watching the bands from there.

So we missed Molly Grace entirely since she was on the other stage.  As we were making plans for how to handle the rest of the day, they announced that Lola wouldn’t be there.  Some bands were moved to different stages and they announced that Doechii would be on the Pavilion Stage rather than the Chrysalis Stage.  My daughter was here for Doechii and we had pretty much planned to stay at the Chrysalis Stage all day to see her.  So that changed things too.

We stayed at Chrysalis stage to watch Peach PRC (who was famous for having a stripper pole as part of her set) and then we moseyed about getting food and checking merch and we grabbed some seats in the Pavilion just before Ashe came on.

I enjoyed how hard Maude LaTour rocked, but we did watch the videos of Griff and Marina.  And at our stage we saw Rachel Chinouriri and Role Model before Doechii came on. (more…)
