9 Things That Happened at the Jon Bellion Concert
November 10, 2016
Last night, Nov. 9, Jon Bellion performed at the Ogden Theater, located on Colfax Avenue. The concert is a stop on his “Human Condition Tour (Part II),” which is now sold out in every city on the tour. The night was filled with excitement, and is sure to be a concert attendees will never forget. Here are nine highlights of the evening:
- Alec Benjamin opens the night with a four-song set composed of his own songs as well as a cover of “Stan” by Eminem.
- Following Benjamin, Travis Mendes performs some of his songs. Despite the technical difficulties at first, he gets the audience pumped and ready for the next act.
- A brief intermission follows, filled with remixed songs by Twenty One Pilots as a way of promoting Jon Bellion’s tour with Twenty One Pilots in the spring.
- Blaque Keyz starts his set, performing a few of his songs both old and new. Then, he hosts a “contest” within the audience to see who knew his rap solos from some of Jon Bellion’s songs.
- The King himself, Jon Bellion, comes out on stage. Greeted by the screams of his fans, he opens his set with “He is the Same,” a song off of his newest album “The Human Condition.”
- Bellion remixed some of his songs, such as “Guillotine” and “Luxury.” Though it changed the beat, fans were still able to keep up and sing along.
- With a dream to one day write the soundtrack for a Pixar movie, Bellion explains to the audience how important it is to keep dreams alive, no matter what others will say about it. He later gives a speech encouraging people to treat those around them with respect, and not let the hatred in the media and online spread into their lives.
- He finishes his set with “Hand of God,” another track off of “The Human Condition.”
- After leaving the stage, he returns for the encore song, “Jim Morrison.” The upbeat song left audience members full of adrenaline.
