Above & Beyond, Bigger Than All Of Us Tour, Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre
Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre got baptized in emotion on Saturday night (9/27/2025), with a lineup that moved from delicate dreamscapes to full-on trance salvation.
HANA opened with her featherweight vocals wrapped in electronic haze, the kind of set that makes you stop mid-conversation just to listen. It wasn’t about hype, more like setting the stage with a soft-focus lens, easing the crowd into the night.
Then Sultan + Shepard dialed things up, layering deep house pulses with melodic progressions that had people finally shaking off the chill in the air. Their sound hit that sweet spot; club-ready but still textured enough to hold your attention without the cheap tricks. By the time they closed, the amphitheater had transformed from a polite audience into a proper dance floor.
And then came the main event: Above & Beyond with a two-hour sermon. Hands in the air, tears in the crowd, strangers hugging, signs scattered in the crowd all asking to “Push the Button”. The usual, but that’s the point. Few acts can make an outdoor amphitheater feel like a shared living room, and they did it effortlessly. Their set balanced the newer, deeper cuts with the classics, rolling waves of emotion across a sea of bodies lit by lasers and phone flashlights. Like they put up on the big screen we really were surrounded by our future best friends.
By the end, it didn’t feel like a concert so much as a collective exhale. Above & Beyond didn’t just play a show, they reminded everyone why trance still matters and the community around the music.
Hana
HANA floats in the liminal space between ethereal pop and electronic experimentation. A singer, songwriter, and producer who’s worked alongside acts like Grimes and BloodPop, she’s known for blurring organic vocals with lush, synthetic soundscapes. Her live performances often feel like portals; fragile, dreamy, and futuristic all at once. She invites listeners into a world where vulnerability and digital edges collide.
Sultan + Shepard
Canadian duo Sultan + Shepard have been crafting melodic house and progressive grooves since the mid-2000s, balancing club heat with headphone introspection. Once riding the EDM wave with big-room anthems, they’ve since carved out a deeper, more textured sound on labels like This Never Happened and Armada. Their sets glide between cinematic builds and body-moving beats; music that’s as at home in a warehouse as it is on a sunrise drive.
Above & Beyond
The holy trinity of emotional trance (Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamäki) have been breaking hearts and lifting dance floors for over two decades. Known for their Anjunabeats empire and tear-stained singalongs, Above & Beyond are masters at flipping massive festival crowds into intimate therapy sessions. From “Sun & Moon” to their acoustic tours, they prove that electronic music doesn’t have to sacrifice humanity for euphoria.
