On October 27 at MGM Fenway Music Hall in Boston, Aidan Bissett set the stage for an unforgettable night, leading into COIN's highly anticipated performance. Fans filled the venue, buzzing with anticipation, and Aidan Bissett did not disappoint as the opening act.
From the moment he stepped onto the stage, Aidan Bissett, a Los Angeles-based artist known for his guitar-infused alt-pop with introspective and effortless lighthearted lyrics, brought an infectious energy that swept through the crowd, launching with his popular track “Out of My League,” a song that nods to more of a retro pop vibe with a fresh, modern twist. Throughout his set, he showcased not only his fan-favorites but also a selection of unreleased songs from an upcoming album, giving the audience a sneak peek into his evolving sound. Between songs, Bissett’s easygoing charisma shone through as he bantered with the crowd, joking and laughing, even playfully declining a bold fan's request for his number with a grin and a remark on their bravery. Closing with his viral hit "Tripping Over Air," he had fans singing along at the top of their lungs. His performance was a perfect blend of upbeat tempos, catchy melodies, and engaging stage presence, making him a standout opener and setting an electric tone for the night.
Following Bissett's set, COIN took the stage. The band emerged to dimmed lights and a foggy, intimate setup that mimicked a garage, creating a moody and atmospheric backdrop. Fresh off their album I'm Not Afraid of Music Anymore, COIN mixed new releases with fan-favorite tracks from their entire discography, showcasing the depth of their catalog. My personal favorite standout moment was their performance of "Leaving a Light On" just before the encore, a thoughtful choice that underscored the intentionality behind their setlist. With impressive stage production and lighting, COIN brought their music to life, closing the night on a high note. If you get a chance to catch this tour, it's well worth it.
