Young Is Giant

One of the most reliable and popular indie-rock bands in the United States is coming to the Pepsi Amphitheater to kick August off with a bang. Young the Giant has been in the game since the early 2010s. They leaped into the rock scene with their self-titled album, giving us instant classics like My Body and Cough Syrup Since then, they’ve further propelled their music and indie rock into the mainstream, solidifying themselves in the pantheon of popular, modern rock bands next to The Killers and Two Door Cinema Club. Supporting them on their 2023 Summer Tour is Milky Chance. Originally from Germany, their music offers a chill pop, almost reggae vibe that will pair incredibly with Young the Giant’s far more upbeat tone. Their most famous song Stolen Dance had command of the radio waves for a while and is not to be missed. If you’d like to see Young the Giant and Milky Chance, you can purchase tickets on Pepsi Amphitheater’s website at pepsiamp com. Doors open at 6 p.m., and the show starts at 7 p.m.
