Omar Apollo – Red Rocks Amphitheatre – Morrison (A PopEntertainment.com Concert Review)

Omar Apollo, Kevin Abstract, Ravyn Lenae & Malcolm Todd – Red Rocks Amphitheatre – Morrison, CO – September 26, 2024

The 25th show of the “God Said No” World Tour was nothing short of amazing. Omar Apollo, accompanied by Malcom Todd, Ravyn Lenae, and Kevin Abstract, played the prestigious Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, CO. Having the opportunity to play on the iconic stage is one thing but to make things even more special, every single row was packed with fans.

Malcolm Todd got the crowd not just warmed up for the exciting night ahead but set them on fire. Fans jumped around and sang to the young opener who played a mix of alternative and indie pop songs for the audience.

Following up was Ravyn Lenae, an R&B singer from Chicago, IL. With a beautiful voice and bright smile, she wooed the audience with her music. Lenae moved around the stage in red light, carrying the momentum started by Todd.

Joining the tour for his very first night, Kevin Abstract gave a passionate and energetic performance. Unlike the previous acts, Abstract started his set on a rock off to the side of the venue. Fans whipped their heads around in excitement as he began to sing. After one song up there, he jumped down off the rock and ran to the stage. He played a mix of his own music and Brockhampton favorites. That being said, his time spent in front of the barricade was short lived as he ran off into the audience. He ran through rows as a spotlight followed him. Eventually, he made his way back to the rock he started on to close out his set.

Fans sporting homemade t-shirts and sunglasses eagerly awaited the main act of the night. As the stage lights dimmed, fog filled the stage. Emerging from the smoke was Apollo, dressed in a large fur coat. As he sang, dancers filed onto the stage beside him. He slid his jacket off and soon broke out into dance. Omar Apollo not only knows how to sing but he can truly perform. His set consisted of wonderfully choreographed routines, epic guitar playing, and heavenly vocals. At one moment in the set, he took the time to denounce anyone who told him he would never make it. The Grammy-nominated artist also expressed his thoughts on how he is proud to be who he is. A queer, Mexican American pop singer who is unapologetically himself. This show was one to remember, for Apollo and fans alike.

The God Said No World Tour continues through mid-October across the United States. I highly recommend stopping by a date near you if you can! Omar Apollo is a true star of our generation, and you do not want to miss him.
