The “I’ll Be With You” tour presented by Valley who was joined by Catie Turner rolled through The Loft in Atlanta, Georgia on February 23, 2022. Valley’s first headlining show in Atlanta was sold out as a packed crowd went off to pretty much every song they played. The energy was high as the night progressed.
Catie Turner kicked off the show with some bangers and her very likable personality. The chat in between songs brought lots of laughs and smiles to the fans in the crowd. At one point, Catie was talking about how hot her hair was making her, so someone, a person named Avery, offered her a hair tie, which Catie gladly took. It turned out to be Avery’s birthday, so Catie got the crowd to shout a happy birthday song to her. After this, Turner brought out a very special guest- a cardboard cutout of Harry Styles. This got the crowd roaring again before everyone belted the lyrics to Adore You. This really got everyone into a happy mood, which continued as Catie’s set went on and eventually ended with her new single, Nothing.
So obviously this crowd was hyped and they did not slow down as Valley came out. The first three songs were a rush as the band kept reaching out to the crowd, jumping on the barricade, and switching singers. It was only the second song of their set and they got the entire crowd jumping up and down together. Hype is an understatement. “Oh shit…are we in love?” off of their new album was a hit as lead singer, Rob Laska, put his guitar down and jumped around stage. There really is not a better way to describe the night as one this crowd will never forget. It was a lot of jumping, dancing, and screaming along to the songs as Valley crushed their first Atlanta headlining show. The pink cowboy hats of Atlanta even made an appearance and of course made it on stage and onto Rob’s head (if you know, you know).
Valley and Catie Turner definitely brightened up this crowd’s Wednesday night.
