WizTheMC, Tommy Richman, and The Kid LAROI turned The Anthem into one of the most memorable nights of the spring on May 11, delivering three distinctly different performances that showcased just how diverse and exciting the current landscape of pop and hip-hop has become. WizTheMC set the tone from the moment he stepped on stage, bringing unmatched energy and charisma that instantly won over the crowd. His breakout songs “Show Me Love” and “Take My Mind” sounded even bigger live, blending infectious melodies with nonstop movement and making him the perfect artist to open the evening. Anyone attending this tour should make a point to catch his set, especially as he continues building momentum with new music and a rapidly growing global fanbase.

DMV native Tommy Richman followed with a hometown performance that felt like a victory lap. Fresh off the massive success of “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” and his critically acclaimed debut album COYOTE, Richman proved he is far more than a viral sensation, delivering his signature mix of funk, R&B, and hip-hop with confidence and style while continuing to cement himself as one of Virginia’s most exciting breakout artists.

Then came The Kid LAROI, whose journey from teenage SoundCloud phenom and Juice WRLD collaborator to worldwide headliner was on full display. Performing in support of his 2026 album Before I Forget, a more mature and introspective project that debuted in the Billboard Top 10, Laroi balanced emotional new material with massive hits like “WITHOUT YOU,” “Thousand Miles,” and “STAY.” His vocals were remarkably strong throughout the night, and his growth as both a songwriter and live performer was undeniable. Now headlining the global A Perfect World Tour, The Kid LAROI delivered a polished, heartfelt performance that confirmed he has evolved into one of pop music’s most compelling young stars.
