On October 4th, Malcolm Todd and 54 Ultra made a stop in St Louis at the St. Louis Music Park on their sold out Do That Again North American Tour. The tour is a thirty-eight date tour supporting Todd’s sophomore album, Do That Again. Todd is ending the North American leg of this tour with three sold out nights at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, California.
Before 54 Ultra took the stage, the standing floor was practically full. Concertgoers at the barricade got to the venue at 11am to get their spot center stage. 54 Ultra and his band opened with a lively set that got the crowd hype, and the night had only just begun.
“Talk 2 Me” and “Heaven Knows” showcased 54 Ultra’s infectious sound that made the crowd dance along to each tune. He built anticipation for Todd’s arrival, at every mention of Todd’s set, the crowd roared in excitement and anticipation.
When Todd took the stage, the crowd’s excitement was immediately palpable. For about the first three songs of his set nearly the entire audience seemed to have their phones out. Nobody in the crowd wanted to forget this set. Todd and his band opened with “Jean Skirt,” wasting no time and pulling the crowd into his world with a variety of visuals and lighting to set the atmosphere.
The set consisted of new tracks off of Do That Again and Malcolm Todd classics like “Earrings” and “Roommates,” giving longtime listeners and newer fans plenty to sing along to.
This St. Louis stop captured the excitement surrounding Todd’s latest chapter as an artist. With 54 Ultra setting the pace and Todd delivering a set built around his growing catalog. This tour was a fantastic way to celebrate and show off the talent of two artists stepping into bigger rooms and bringing their audiences with them. While Malcolm Todd and 54 Ultra’s sold out tour may be concluding, their success is only growing.
