Lindsey Stirling closed out the show playing an 18-song set. Stirling first rose in popularity in 2012
with her “Crystallize” YouTube video, amassing over 270 million views. She released her first album
earlier that year in September and embarked on a North American tour. Since then, she has released
five studio albums with collaborations such as Amy Lee (Evanescence), Lzzy Hale (Halestorm), and
Elle King.
The acclaimed “dubstep violinist” is also a classically trained dancer and gymnast. Dancing up and
down the stage, even hanging upside down, Stirling displayed her talent on the violin and her
impressive choreography. However, Stirling doesn’t do it alone, she is joined by her long-time touring
drummer Sander Steen, guitarist Ryan Riveros, and a group of classically trained dancers. Stirling
also has a huge following on TikTok, stopping the show to film a short with the audience.
Ending the show with her
newly released cover of the
famous Led Zeppelin song
“Kashmir,” Stirling waved to
fans and exited the stage.
Her summer tour is now over,
but she just announced her
famed Christmas tour titled
“The Snow Waltz,” with
shows all across the U.S.
Stirling has one of the most
beautiful, entertaining, and
amazing shows out there,
with fantastic lighting and
acrobatic displays. You will
not be disappointed! She’s
promoted that her shows are
the perfect gift for the entire
family this holiday season!
