There’s a moment at every concert when the crowd knows what’s coming next. The lights go dim, the stage is set, and you know what you came for is about to begin. But Ruel couldn’t let us start quietly,  he got us laughing and hyped as his walkout song blasted none other than “Redrum” by 21 Savage.

As soon as Ruel walked into the room, the crowd erupted. The moment he kicked off his performance with “Only Ever,” the excitement was undeniable and completely off the walls. He delivered a setlist that blended new tracks from his latest album Kicking My Feet with fan favorite classics like “Younger” and “Face to Face,” creating a performance that felt both fresh and nostalgic.

After starting the show with high, up-beat energy, dancing and getting the crowd to move and jump around, Ruel shifted the mood by slowing things down for the acoustic portion of the set. During this more intimate segment he performed “No News Is Good News” a song told from his mom’s perspective which added more emotions to the night. He even surprised fans when he performed his song “Hard Sometimes” on the piano, which he hadn’t in a long time making it more memorable and special.

Picking up right where the energy left off, Ruel performed “Don’t Say That” live for the first time since its official release as the lead single from his upcoming deluxe project “Kicking & Screaming.” which is set to be released June 12th  He even showcased what he learned during his time in South American when he performed “Wild Guess” opening it with the Spanish translated chorus.
