PinkPantheress | Miami Beach
On April 26, 2026, the iconic Fillmore Miami Beach theater hosted an absolutely smashing evening with the UK’s favorite pop-girly, PinkPantheress (Pink), as part of her “An Evening with PinkPantheress” tour. Of British origin, PinkPantheress makes a triumphant return to the tour scene, and it was nothing short of electric. Before the doors even opened at the Fillmore, fans were ecstatic to see their favorite artist. Fans flooded the Miami Beach venue, dripping in Pink’s iconic plaid aesthetic, often featured in her music videos and previous live performances.
When Pink finally took the stage, the performance was filled with screams from clamoring fans from start to finish. In recent memory, PinkPantheress has experienced a sudden resurgence in popularity, especially on social media, with her iconic “Stateside” remix featuring Zara Larsson being used by gold-medal ice figure skater Alysa Liu. The now-prominent figure skater has taken the internet by storm with her Exhibition Gala, and, in a similar fashion, PinkPantheress opens her show with the iconic track. The rest of her set featured many of her other iconic tracks, including “Illegal” and “Nice to Meet You.”
Overall, an Evening with PinkPantheress was an evening Miami won't forget for a long time, especially amongst her Florida fans. This tour is a must-see for all pop fans. Pink continues to leave her best on stage for them, and we can’t wait for what she has in store for us next.

High Water Festival | North Charleston
High Water Festival was nothing short of magical — a vibrant kickoff to the season that lit up Charleston’s Riverfront Park on April 26th and 27th. With twenty acts spread across two stages, this two day celebration brought the spirit of music alive in a way coastal South Carolina won’t soon forget.
From the moment Charleston natives Easy Honey hit the stage, the energy was infectious. Their hometown pride radiated through every smile, riff, and beat, setting the tone for a weekend of non-stop joy. Festival-goers of all ages swayed, danced, and sang their hearts out, creating a collective rhythm that pulsed from the barricades to the back of the field.
The beauty of High Water was in the flow—bouncing between stages felt like surfing a wave of pure musical bliss. No matter the genre or familiarity, each crowd threw themselves wholeheartedly into the experience. It was proof that festivals are sacred ground for music lovers: a space where knowing the lyrics is optional, but feeling the beat is required.
As I roamed the grounds, band loyalty was proudly worn like a badge of honor. Shirts, hats, and tote bags were emblazoned with names like flipturn, Mt. Joy, and Lord Huron. flipturn, in particular, had a strong presence — despite their set coming late on day two, fans were already repping them on day one, a testament to their meteoric rise from Jacksonville’s indie scene to festival fame.
Day two brought a special spark as we saw more women on stage and the vibe was electric. Goldie Boutilier set the tone early, captivating the crowd with her theatrical flair and magnetic stage presence. Later, Trampled by Turtles drew curious onlookers with their eclectic instrument lineup — banjo, mandolin, fiddle, and cello weaving together a sound both timeless and fresh.
And then came the grand finale: Arcade Fire. The band delivered a performance that was not just heard, but felt. With a show full of spectacle and heart, they left the crowd awestruck, ending the weekend on a euphoric high.
Beyond the music, it was the community that truly defined High Water. Everywhere I turned, I saw beaming faces and shared moments of pure joy. Even in the press lounge, a unique camaraderie formed among creatives, all capturing the same sets through different eyes, exchanging inspiration and stories along the way.
High Water Fest wasn’t just an event—it was a reminder of how good life can be when the soundtrack is right. For me, and for Charleston, it was a weekend to remember, and a beautiful celebration of music, connection, and coastal soul.
