XYLO concludes first headlining tour in beloved hometown — Los Angeles
After a month of her first headlining tour, XYLO returns to her hometown Los Angeles to end her amazing journey. Surrounded by her family and friends along with her loyal audience, she began the night with “yes & no” which is also the title of her latest EP. The crowd joined her in singing as she jumped around the stage with her cute ponytail and mini-skirt. What also made the night special was her birthday at midnight which she seemed very excited about knowing that she is about to celebrate while doing what she loved most.
During the show, she reached out to hold a fan’s hand and didn't let go, she took a fan’s phone who was FaceTiming her friend and sang to her, and at the end of the night, she even asked to borrow one of audience member's phone to take a group selfie from stage.
What fans most appreciates about XYLO is her special way of creating intimacy with every single person at the show — a true confirmation that XYLO appreciates her supporters whether that may be those who have been with her since day one or those who have enjoyed her music recently. During the show, she reached out to hold a fan’s hand and did not let go, she took a fan’s phone who was FaceTiming her friend who was not able to make it to the show, and at the end of the night, she even asked to borrow one of the audience’s phone to take a group selfie from stage. These are the little things that speak louder than words that she is an artist who gives back.
Throughout the show, XYLO kept the momentum going as she performed some of her more popular songs “Setting Fires” and “Ride or Die”. For her encore, she was joined on stage by her opening acts Jane Holiday and Zolita as she performed "Afterlife". The atmosphere in the room was filled with excitement as everyone knew that by the end of this song, she would have had completed her first headlining tour in North America. The night wrapped up with everybody on her tour on stage and the crowd cheering loudly as she stepped off the stage with the most bubbly and good vibes we have seen from an artist in a while. If you want to experience a show where you're guaranteed full artist to audience interaction — XYLO is your girl.
