This felt like a significant Moment. Chappell Roan performing HOT TO GO and After Midnight at Osheaga earlier this month, breaking records apparently for the largest daytime attendance at the festival for any one artist at the festival. (Osheaga is set up so that you have two stages next to each other, so that there is no time wasted in setting up between two acts. When the stage on the left finishes, the next act is slotted to go up on the right. Though of course, both stages were packed to watch Chappell here.) Chappell came on at 3:30 PM on a blazing-hot Saturday afternoon.
I'm fascinated by her themed wardrobes for the whole band, I think the fairy/Cinderella alluding costumes were interesting along with a song that says, 'Everything good happens after midnight', but it went quite well with the intro!
Anyway. Big moment for queer music (again).
