Stephanie Alejandro:
1. Twenty One Pilots – Emotional Roadshow Tour

“Emotional Roadshow in Duluth was my favorite concert of 2016. I’ve seen the band eight times over the course of the last 3 ½ years though, so I may be biased…but the production was so good, and they were interactive with the crowd as always.  But what I loved most was that they had a B-stage at every show; it made the show feel a lot more intimate like old times, even though it was an arena show.”

7. The 1975 -The North American Tour (I heard they had different variations of their setlist each night so that no show was the exact same, so that’s cool.)
