The opening act came on around 7:30PM.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Singer Lolo Zouai (USA) doing a half-hour Pop set looking cute in her slouch socks but I was not familiar with her or her music.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The crowd was already beginning to build and you had to arrive early to snag a good viewing spot on the floor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Second act was singer Caroline Polachek (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Wearing a very cool Bohemian torn dress and over-the-knee boots, her 45-minute set was more Indie-Pop. While I was not familiar with her either, she does have an array of songs to her credit on YouTube<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And then, the show of her her new “Future Nostalgia” Tour…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Clad in a solid yellow bodysuit, she looked pretty amazing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And she stood-out compared to the dance team.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The show stayed busy with movement.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I don’t listen to Pop radio so I didn’t expect to recognize many of her songs but I was surprised how many that I did<\/strong> know!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Costume change to a white\/silver metallic number.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Getting “Physical<\/a>“.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
“Love Again<\/a>“<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
“Break My Heart<\/a>“<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The stage props weren’t particularly elaborate compared to some concerts but it didn’t matter because everyone was here to see the singer. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Another costume change.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The cute “Good In Bed<\/a>“.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lots of 90’s retro going on like big hair, baggy pants & crop tops!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
An EDM segment included her hit with DJ\/Producer Calvin Harris (GB), “One Kiss<\/a>“.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dua Lipa’s “Future Nostalgia” album actually dropped in 2020 but covid19 delayed this related tour until this year! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Her amazing collaboration with Sir Elton John (GB), the “Cold Cold Heart\/Rocket Man<\/a>” mashup! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Current hit “Levitating<\/a>“.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
WoW!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
One more look at her entourage. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
