The band LANY, had been awaiting this victorious stop at the famous Forum. With over 17,000+ fans Paul Klein had the room captivated by his voice, high energy, and of course, his crazy personality.
The show started out with thousands of fans screaming as Paul sang their first song, ‘Get Away’. The crowd got to experience Paul jumping and interacting with them right away. The band had the crowd wrapped around their finger.
Many fans had been waiting for this show, camping outside the venue days in advance just to possibly get a last chance ticket in. The fans in the floor section were hardcore. Some fans wore cowboy hats, some light up, and some bedazzled. These cowboy hats represented the bands song ‘Cowboy In LA’. Fans loved how Paul and the band stayed true to who they were, especially Paul being from Oklahoma.
The show went on, and the band was performing ‘If You See Her’. Paul decided to run along the side of the Forum up to some lucky fans in the higher seated sections. Fans screamed and quickly got pictures and videos alongside Paul. Paul was amazing and posed for pictured with the fans while continuing to sing. Paul sang the rest of the song there with the fans, and even got to experience the big screen shot with them.
During the song ‘Hericane’ fans cried out lyrics and light up the entire room with their phone lights. The sight of it was absolutely beautiful. 17,000+ lights filling the Forum. The singing fans and amazing band made their Forum debut memorable.
The night began to come to a close and the band went off stage. Fans began cheering for an encore. Cheering loudly and repetitively the band came back out. Paul then started singing ‘ILYSM’ and fans began to get even crazier. Halfway through the song confetti began to rush out into the crowd. This was such a goosebump moment and fans were enjoying every second of it.
This was a very successful first sold out show at the Forum for LANY. After taking a bow with his fellow band mates Paul went on to say, “ Obviously we are coming back for the rest of our lives, we’ll see you next year, and the year after that, and the year after that.” he continued. “We gotta play twelve times at the Forum to get our picture up on the wall somewhere, so we are gonna play here twelve times. Let’s go!”
