Mike Posner and Chiddy Bang Rock Davidson College
Davidson, North Carolina - If you didn't know better you would have thought that January 23, was another normal campus weekend at Davidson college, but those who managed to check out
and
's show for the university’s winter festival know it was anything but. While the venue seemed to outmatch the talent coming to the stage that night, there was no denying a great opportunity to have a good time once the music started.
Starting off the festivities were Chiddy Bang and
Xaphoon
, who made their way on to the stage first in front of a packed atrium, and had one of the most entertaining live performances I’ve seen in awhile. They flowed through their set and touched on the fan favorite tracks from

Get Up in the Morning

It didn’t seem like there was any more energy left in the crowd once they left the stage, but as soon as Posner greeted the audience the liveliness was restored as he moved from track to track, covering songs from his previous
(including the fan favorite
). Posner definitely delivered on his reputation as a dope live performer and his set helped ensure the night's up-tempo and exciting atmosphere. While the concert lasted only a few hours, the entirety of the performance was enough to remember for some time to come.
