Lukas Graham — most known for hits such as “Mama Said” and “7 Years” — brought in many San Diegans to the House of Blues on Feb. 9.
The Danish pop band consisting of vocalist Lukas Graham Forchhammer, drummer Mark “Lovestick” Falgren, bassist Magnus Larsson and keyboardist Kasper Daugaard performed at the venue for a fourth time. For them, San Diego is their second home away from Denmark.
Rozzi, an American pop singer who previously opened for Maroon 5, joined Lukas Graham as the opening act.
It was a standing room only as every seat was filled, but it brought an exciting vibe to the concert because all of the fans were on their feet, jamming out to the hits.
From children to adults, everyone was throwing their hands up from side to side, dancing and having a great time.
The set had a backdrop that also changed colors based on the mood of each song.
Attendees were taken back to the older eras with Lukas Graham’s setlist as hit songs “Mama Said” and “7 Years” were crucial parts of pop music in 2015.
Throughout the show fans anticipated their hit “7 Years.” So once the band waved farewell, fans believed they would not get to listen to this classic because it initially was not included in the setlist.
However, the band jumped back on the stage two seconds later to give the audience what they highly anticipated: an encore rendition of “7 Years.”
It was truly a magical moment to witness. In unison, fans throughout the venue waved their arms from side to side. Children got on their parents’ shoulders, couples embraced each other and friends stood hand in hand.
From the opening song, “You’re Not There,” to the closer attendees were captivated by Lukas Graham’s music and enjoyed every minute.
