On Tuesday, September 24th, 2024, UPSAHL delivered an unforgettable performance at The Foundry at The Fillmore in Philadelphia, taking the audience on a dynamic musical journey with a 31-song setlist. The night unfolded in two halves, with a clear shift in tone and energy midway through. The first part was cool and moody, while the second brought a fiery intensity. Each segment showcased UPSAHL’s versatility, blending attitude, emotion, and sheer stage presence.

 

A Chilled Start Dressed in blue under icy lighting, UPSAHL set a cool, reflective tone right from the beginning. Opening with “Tears On The Dancefloor,” she quickly had the crowd moving with her infectious energy. Songs like “NO HANDS (SIDE A)” and “Monica Lewinsky” carried a playful vibe, while tracks like “IDFWFEELINGS” and “Wish You’d Make Me Cry” added emotional weight.

Despite the small stage, UPSAHL’s charisma filled the room. Highlights of the first half included the rebellious anthems “SMARTY” and “All My Friends Are Rich,” as well as the more introspective “Into My Body.” The blue lighting created an understated, cool atmosphere that matched the emotional depth of the set. The crowd was captivated until the final song of this section, “SLAYYYYY (SIDE B),” leaving everyone ready for more.

Turning Up the Heat After a brief pause, UPSAHL returned with a burst of energy, this time in red, and the mood shifted dramatically. The lighting switched to warmer tones, matching the intensity of songs like “Summer So Hot” and “12345SEX.” It was clear that this was the point where UPSAHL was ready to turn up the heat, and the audience was right there with her.

Her cover of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Heads Will Roll” was a standout, with the crowd singing along and matching her energy. A heartfelt moment came when UPSAHL’s sister, Ryan, joined her onstage for “Arizona” just after the crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to her.

The second half continued to escalate with high-energy tracks like “Cut Em Off” and “Good in Bed,” while her bold performance of “Drugs” and “Lunatic” closed out the main set with a bang.

 

Encore: A Perfect Finale For the encore, UPSAHL came back with fan favorites “People I Don’t Like” and “Sad Sorry After Party,” wrapping up the night on a high note. Her final moments on stage were filled with gratitude, as she connected with the audience one last time, delivering a fitting end to a show full of energy and emotion.
