Remi Wolf's performance at Arizona Financial Theater on October 15th was an explosion of energy, eccentricity, and pure musical joy. The night started with Slimdan opening, setting the stage for what would be a wildly dynamic night. As fans buzzed with excitement, the anticipation grew, and by the time Remi appeared through a cloud of smoke for her opening track, 'Cherries and Cream,' the energy was palpable.

Photographers couldn’t help but move to the beat when Remi kicked into 'Cinderella'—the song was infectious, and the entire pit was dancing along. Her performance of 'Pitiful' took that energy even higher with leg-kicking enthusiasm and a flurry of hair flips, as Remi’s dynamic presence fully consumed the stage.

After the initial three songs, Remi addressed the Arizona audience, humorously celebrating the fact that it was finally “under one hundred degrees,” a significant milestone for fall in the desert. Then, in true playful fashion, she asked the crowd, "Where are all my Liz’s?" before launching into 'Liz,' acknowledging the excited cheers with, "You’re somewhere, I can’t tell where you are," even though it was clear not everyone could possibly be named Liz. It was one of those Remi moments—playful and connected—before diving into the song with her signature head-banging fervor.

Remi’s vocals were a powerhouse all night long, filled with lung-busting scats and ad-libs that showcased her impressive range and stamina. Her eccentric funk permeated the setlist, particularly in the middle of the performance, where she banged on drums during 'Kangaroo' before tossing the sticks into the audience. "This is the Big Ideas tour," she announced, "and that’s pretty cool because I spent two and a half years making this album while on tour for Juno." As she reflected on her tour life, writing between shows, she laid bare the personal stories embedded in the songs.

One of those stories came to life in 'Alone in Miami,' where she humorously recounted a wild, demonic week in Miami with crypto bros and some Gucci attire, all spun into the song's playful yet electric performance. With every note and story, Remi’s charm and wit kept the crowd hooked, never letting the energy drop for a second.

The crowd was treated to a sultry rendition of 'Sexy Villain,' which brought a new, warm and inviting twist that felt like it enveloped the entire venue. Her performance of 'Michael' was no less engaging, as the audience cheered her on through every lyric. One of the most unexpected delights was her cover of Cars' "Life is a Highway," during which the band waved pride flags across the stage, a true testament to Remi’s commitment to creating a safe, loving space for her fans to embrace their authentic selves.

Remi Wolf's audience connection hit its peak when she spontaneously asked for a word from the crowd, resulting in a funky, improvised song titled 'Help' that she and her band crafted at the moment. Her ability to transform random moments into musical magic speaks to her improvisational genius and the deep bond she forges with her listeners.

When it came time for 'Motorcycle,' Remi spoke candidly about the inner duality she faces—the part of her that wants simplicity and stability, versus the wild, free-spirited side that wants to tear up the stage and revel in chaos. That juxtaposition fueled the song’s rebellious energy and had the crowd roaring in agreement.

Her performance of 'Toro' hit as a fan favorite from her latest album Big Ideas, and though the night seemed to be wrapping up with 'Soup,' the audience clearly didn’t want the evening to end. Thankfully, Remi returned for an encore and delivered an electrifying rendition of 'Photo ID,' a perfect capstone to an unforgettable show.

Remi Wolf's 'Big Ideas' tour lived up to its name—bold, brash, and bursting with creativity. Each song was a journey, and by the end, it was clear that her quirky lyricism, dynamic performances, and unabashed energy had left a lasting mark on the Arizona crowd.
