The Temper Trap at Wanderland Festival 2017

No stranger to the festival circuit, this was not The Temper Trap’s first rodeo – they’ve performed here previously at the inaugural Wanderland festival in 2013, with an abundance of fans anticipating their return. They certainly didn’t disappoint this time around. A 4-piece unit, hailing from Australia but now based in London, they blasted into…

the Ting Tings, turning it up at Wanderland Festival 2017

Known for their creative high-energy live sets, something about the raw and viral energy The Ting Tings produce sets them apart from most pop bands.

Gracenote, multi-talented with emotion…

Multi instrumentalists never cease to impress me, and Eunice Jorge, the lead vocalist of Gracenote, did just that.

This is the…

Pentatonix, skilled performance and enthusiastic crowd…

Pentatonix may not be a household name for many, but don’t tell that to the nearly sold out crowd at Smart Araneta Coliseum on Saturday night.
