```The Midnight San Diego Concert reviews
Chainsmokers put on a show!
The Midnight is not my preferred genre of music but I went with a friend. The crowd, predominantly young (high school to college age) and mostly female, was lively and enthusiastic. The show started with a DJ getting the crowd dancing like they were in a club. Next up was a singer with strong EDM beats supporting her performance. Finally, The Midnight took the stage. Although not the most skilled musicians, they have a knack for captivating the audience and generating a fantastic atmosphere. Throughout the nearly two-hour set, the lights, fog, fire, and moving platforms kept the crowd energized and engaged.
