DJ Tiiiiiiiiiip came out and pumped up the crowd as they anxiously awaited Yung Gravy's arrival. He played snippets of music, ranging from the 80s to current. The crowd roared and as they jumped, you could feel the energy through the floor of the House of Blues. One of the songs DJ Tiiiiiiiiiip got the biggest reaction from was a mix of Shania Twain's “Man! I Feel Like a Woman”. In between songs, DJ Tiiiiiiiiiip threw snack cakes to the crowd and fans had an absolute blast trying to catch them. After his final box of cakes, the crowd knew they were getting closer to seeing Yung Gravy.
As the lights went down, music began to play, and the energy picked up. The crowd cheered and chanted as Yung Gravy emerged from the darkness. The crowd went wild. He started his set with "oops!". You could feel the music through your body and the floor shake, as fans danced and jumped along with him.
Yung Gravy has a vivacious stage presence. It was incredible to see that every song he performed, the crowd matched his energy. This made for a night that not only fans but Yung Gravy himself wouldn’t forget. Following his opening act, he played a plethora of songs, new and old. "Gravy Train", "Mr. Clean", and collabs he's done with bbno$, such as "Welcome to Chilis" and their newest hit "You Need Jesus" were on the set list.
