The simple two toned lighting set a very chill vibe for the first half of his set, which followed with some complex and dynamic lighting as his set grew even more complex and energetic. Photo: Garrett Allen Photography

Mike Parvizi’s solo act seemed to be well accepted by the eager crowd, many who were hearing these songs for the first time. Photo: Garrett Allen Photography

Female DJ Ana Sia’s high energy performance kept the growing excitement going among the crowd, her attitude while performing dispersing any gender biases that often follow up-and-coming female DJs. Photo: Garrett Allen Photography

The front of the crowd is eagerly awaiting the start of the headliner, some focused on the music in front of them, while others excitedly guess which Glitch Mob songs will be played. Photo: Garrett Allen Photography

The visuals were just as good as the sounds coming from The Glitch Mob. It all would have felt more appropriate to be a called an experience rather than just a concert. Photo: Garrett Allen Photography

Through almost the entire performance of the Glitch Mob, the entire crowd was either raising their hands to the music or raising their phones to capture it. Photo: Garrett Allen Photography
