Concert - TobyMac

The first act was Hollyn. Now understand she is a new artist. She only performed 2 songs, one of hers was her own and the second was one of her friends. Her performance was good though, not great but it was good. I tried to get a decent pic but the lights shining on her were a little much for my phone camera.

Next was Colton Dixon. His band was great and honestly the top 2 or 3 of the night. He performed 5 songs. They were all his hits. He is a good performer and had the crowd rockin. He also came out later on and performed a song with TobyMac. I liked his performance. Of course the stage was small for the band. It seemed like they were squashed in. Of course with a sold out show, about 8000 people, it was a great performance.

Then it was Capital Kings turn. They are not a band but instead they are a couple of DJ's. Their name comes from Washington, where they are from. They are very hyper and active dancers. Their performance was good as well but they performed 5 songs that were not full length. They were quick versions. Either way I like the songs they did sing and their beats were kickin...

Building 429 was next up on the list. There performance was in the top 3 as well. To me it was between Toby, Colton and Bldg 429. These guys had the crowd going crazy. Apparently they have been together for 16+ years. They did one song performance that was pretty good. They turned out the lights in the building and had everyone turn their cell phones on with the flashlights. It was surreal just looking around in the sold out Forum and seeing all the lights. They did 6 total songs.

Then it was Finding Favour's turn. They were up close while the main stage was getting ready for the next performer. So FF did 4 songs even though they have a bigger selection. My guess is that they arranged the artists so the stage crews could rearrange the stage for each act. Hollyn, Capital Kings and FF were all forward while everyone else was on the main stage. Either was they had a decent performance and had the crowd standing. 

Next up was Britt Nicole. She just had a baby and was out on tour with the blessing of her husband and two children. She is very energetic and the only one that had dancers with her. She performed 6 songs. 4 of her own and 2 new ones from her upcoming album. I was far away but she looked a lot younger than her age and she is a good performer.

Finally, the main event...TobyMac himself. He performed a lot of songs as expected. We had a break between Britt and Toby's performance. About 30 minutes worth, which was actually a good thing. It gave everyone a chance to go to the restroom and get some snacks. Up to this point the concert was 2.5 hours and now the main event was sure to take the night up till 11p. I did not know this but Toby was one of the members of DC Talk. The first Christian rap group. They are all doing their own solo careers right now but the group itself has never been officially disbanded. Anyway TobyMac's performance was on point. He had the crowd going crazy. Everyone was enjoying the show. If you ever get a chance. Go see this concert. Enjoy!
