From the moment the doors opened, the venue felt like a hive ready to explode—and Asteria and 6arelyhuman lit the fuse.

The night kicked off with a high-energy set from Asteria, who opened the show ahead of 6arelyhuman. The crowd—mostly aged 16–20 and predominantly female (around a 60/40 split)—was already loud, excited, and tightly packed at the barricade from the moment she stepped onstage. Asteria performed four songs over roughly 30–45 minutes, warming up the room with a confident, vibey set that clearly resonated with the fans who already knew every word. The atmosphere was lively from the start, setting the tone for what would become an intense night. When 6arelyhuman finally took over, the energy surged even higher. Performing for around an hour with eight or more songs, he kept the crowd screaming from start to finish. Some tracks drew especially wild reactions, including “Eyes on Me,” “What You Want,” “Faster n Harder,” “XOXO (Kisses, Hugs),” “Like a G6,” and “Zombie XD.” He performed using only vocals and backing tracks, with no live instruments—just pure stage presence and crowd connection. Between songs, he spoke to the audience, chatting at the start and end of the show, creating an easy, intimate vibe. Fans responded in kind, handing him and Asteria bracelets and random accessories throughout the night. Visually, his look matched his signature aesthetic, and although he didn’t do any costume changes, the outfit he wore was clearly a hit with the fans. The noise level was intense—loud music, and an even louder crowd. Everyone there seemed like a hardcore fan; they knew every word, every transition, every drop. You could feel the devotion in the room. He closed the night with “Faster n Harder,” without an encore, but the crowd definitely would have stayed for more. There was merch available (set up at the entrance of the Student Union building).. A few people seemed to be wearing fan-made shirts, adding to the feeling of a self-built community rallying around the artists. Overall, it was a tightly packed, high-energy, fan-driven night from start to finish—exactly the kind of show where both performers and audience feed off each other until the very last beat.
