Barstool Sports’ BFFs podcast’s Brianna Chickenfry looked on as Kygo performed and joked on social media about her leg getting caught in the VIP table fence. Days after the solstice, Harris also played “Summer” as his best response to combat the off-putting gray weather and to deliver some main character energy inspo to the masses. Much like Kanye West introducing “Runaway” on the Yeezus tour with that one piano key, Harris’ first note of “Feel So Close” sent palpable excitement through the crowd. It’s easy to see how familiar the crowd is with Harris. It wasn’t just Harris’ own hits during the 90-minute offering: at one point, the Scottish DJ played a dance remix of “Boy’s a Liar,” injecting life into a crowd who’d been partying since early afternoon. At one point, Harris cut the music of the Grammy-nominated song without the crowd skipping a beat, singing the chorus back to the DJ. One of the more impressive moments of the set came when Harris played his 2012 track “Sweet Nothing” (featuring Florence Welch). “This Is What You Came For” (featuring Rihanna, and written with Taylor Swift who at the time used a pseudonym) and “I Need Your Love” (featuring Ellie Goulding) received two of the biggest pops of the night as the crowd’s kinetic energy released and the air filled with inflatables and water bottles being flung around. Opening with “Blame” from his project Motion, Harris launched into his extensive catalog. There’s a reason Harris is a festival mainstay: his setlist plays like a greatest hits album. “I love working around timeless vocals and although it’s challenging to preserve elements of the original track and adding my own touch, I’m extremely happy with how it turned out,” Kygo said at the time. Midway through his set, Kygo honored Tina Turner with “What’s Love Got to Do With It.” Back in 2020, Turner came out of retirement at 80 years old to team up with the DJ for a remix of the legendary track. He also made room for the oldies, playing his tropical house remix of Whitney Houston’s “Higher Love” cover.
The Norwegian star has no shortage of hits, with a wave of recognition and excitement going through the crowd when he played his 3x platinum 2017 song “It Ain’t Me” (featuring Selena Gomez). On Saturday, we’re over 70 miles east of midtown Manhattan at the Palm Tree Music Festival, created by Kygo and his manager Myles Shear’s holding company Palm Tree Crew.Īfter warm up acts of Frank Walker, Xandra, Chantel Jeffries, Sam Feldt, and Loud Luxury, Kygo took the stage with the lighting system blanketing the fog surrounding the festival grounds. for the MSG show, not realizing that was way too early, but ended up near Kygo’s booth for an incredible experience. “I once saw Kygo alone at Madison Square Garden,” Saltzman explained, adding that he arrived at 7 p.m. Wearing a gray sweater over a dress shirt, and flanked by his daughter Stephanie Saltzman who works at an entertainment marketing agency and couldn’t resist taking her dad to see one of his favorite acts, the elder Saltzman’s face lit up when Kygo took the stage.
Saltzman doesn’t look like the average Kygo fan or the average festival goer. There was perhaps no one more excited for Norwegian DJ and multi-platinum recording artist Kygo than the 62-year-old from Westchester.
On a chilly, foggy Saturday evening at Palm Tree Music Festival in Westhampton, New York, Paul Saltzman leaned against the railing near Don Julio’s VIP section and eagerly eyed the stage.
