With the recent news that Pollstar ranked the KFC Yum! Center #8 in the US and #22 worldwide for ticket sales at a concert venue, it was no surprise to see yet another big act, Justin Bieber, onstage in Louisville. There was a palpable buzz in the air outside Yum! with Beliebers lined up all around Yum! to catch try and catch a glimpse of the young Canadian from his tour bus. Two opening acts, Moxie Raia and Post Malone, kicked off the evening in rapid succession before the Biebs took the stage around 9:20 p.m. As has become routine with the biggest tours lately, the show included elaborate lasers, a stage with moving parts, trampolines, pyrotechnics and a dance troupe, all providing a larger-than-life performance. I have no doubts that the true Beliebers would have loved every second, with or without the frills and fireworks.
