Performing at his 10th sold out show in a row, Hoodie Allen brought his Happy Camper Tour to Austin, Texas.

Opening up the show for the night was Hip-Hop artist Blackbear. A new artist on the rise, Blackbear did not disappoint during his performance. He brought the hype and made sure the crowd was pumped up before Hoodie Allen took the stage. He performed songs off his latest albums Deadroses and Help, including “idfc,” “Deadroses,” and ‘Different Hoes.”

Following Blackbear, SuperDuperKyle came out with SuperDuperBrick and began fighting with Star Wars light sabers to open up his set with his song “The Force,” and also performed “SuperDuperHero,” and “Really? Yeah!” from his latest album, SMYLE. The most shocking moment of the night happened when they brought out rap star Future. Although, hours after the show, they released a video showing that it actually wasn’t Future. The video made headlines during the weekend, and is one of the best pranks and trolling moment of the year so far.

Roars from the crowd erupted as Hoodie Allen took the stage with his signature yellow bleeding smiley face bandana around his mouth. He performed a cover song of Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself,” which was actually performed very well with his great singing vocals.  Among other songs, he performed were “High Again,” “Small Town,” “Two Lips,” and his hit song “Are You Having Any Fun?” which he recently released a video for. During his set, he got off stage and ran through the crowd to reach the soundboard where he performed his song “Cake Boy,” and threw a few cakes into the crowd.

He ended the night with his song “No Interruption,” which the whole crowd sang with him from beginning to end. The smoke and confetti canons exploded into the crowd to give off a wonderful ending to yet another show for the super entertaining entertainer, Hoodie Allen.
