Some nights are just built for pure, unfiltered energy. The House of Blues San Diego hosted one of those nights, pairing the explosive talent of KennyHoopla with the raw, sonic assault of Soft Play for a show that left the entire room buzzing.

The evening kicked off with KennyHoopla, who immediately seized the stage with a magnetic and relentless energy. It was clear from the first note that he commanded a significant and devoted following in the room. Fans pressed against the barricade, singing along to every word and matching his impressive, high-flying stage presence. We were incredibly fortunate to speak with him about his creative process, and you can dive into that conversation right here.

After such a dynamic start, the anticipation for the main event was electric. The moment Soft Play walked on stage, the entire venue erupted. The British duo launched into an incredibly powerful set that felt both brutally honest and brilliantly executed. There was no question who the audience came to see. From the front row to the back bar, a unified chorus of voices screamed back every lyric to every song.

It was an impressive display of devotion, a testament to the deep connection the band has forged with its fans. The performance was raw, visceral, and cathartic. Soft Play delivered a show that reminded everyone in the room of the sheer, transformative power of live music. San Diego was lucky to get this show, and we’re damn glad we got to witness it.
