What’s truly incredible is the trajectory The Linda Lindas are on. Selling out venues like The Observatory is no small feat, and the fact that these teenagers are about to embark on a stadium tour as the opening act for Green Day speaks volumes about their meteoric rise. It’s a testament to the power of raw talent, genuine passion, and a fresh perspective that The Linda Lindas brings to the table.

The setlist was a journey through their discography, with highlights including the defiant “Racist Sexist Boy” and the anthemic “Growing Up.” Closing the night with a powerful rendition of “Rebel Girl,”

The Linda Lindas left the stage to thunderous applause, solidifying their status as a band destined for greatness.

In a world that sometimes seems to move at breakneck speed, The Linda Lindas offer a refreshing reminder that age is no barrier to artistic excellence.
