Chappell Roan Closes Mini-Tour With Two Sold-Out Brookside Shows, 30,000 Fans a Night

Onstage, she said performing again clarified her purpose to bring queer audiences joy.

Overview

  • Two Pasadena concerts at Brookside at the Rose Bowl capped her three-city Visions of Damsels & Other Dangerous Things run.
  • Each night drew nearly 30,000 attendees, and Roan called it the biggest headlining show of her career.
  • She told the crowd that after a difficult year, returning to the stage reminded her that her mission is to create joy and safety for queer fans.
  • The production emphasized performance over spectacle, with a gothic-castle set, no dancers or guests, and a setlist praised for an emotional “Casual” into “The Subway” sequence.
  • Her surge continues with a Grammy for best new artist, multiple recent top-10 singles, and a signature hit in “Pink Pony Club,” as she frames the mini-tour as a last outing before writing her next album.
