"The allure of a "pop-up" tour from the Midwest Princess herself was one that attracted droves of fans - in pinks and blues and reds - from across the States to the grassy knolls of Brookside at the Rose Bowl. It's a rare feat that an artist has such a pull, only recently repeated by that of Oasis, whose draw was more than a decade in the making."
"The sun is beating down in Pasadena, leaving the Rose Bowl parking lot hot to the touch. From some distance, you can already begin to make out the umbrellas of fans waiting outside the Brookside's gate for some hours - perhaps, even pondering their choice. Closer to the entrance, not a single bit of asphalt is left uncovered; beach towels adorn the ground, and tapestries are draped over security gates to create makeshift tents."
Chappell Roan's pop-up tour drew massive, colorful crowds to Brookside at the Rose Bowl, with fans arriving hours early to claim spots. Attendees brought towels, umbrellas and tapestries to create shade and impromptu campsites while queuing under intense sun. Trixie Mattel performed as a DJ and energized the audience with playful commentary. Roan nearly abandoned music before persisting and ultimately performing to tens of thousands. The event combined intense fan devotion, festival-style camping behavior and celebrity support to create a high-energy, sun-soaked gathering of enthusiastic concertgoers.
