The Summer Set at The Rebel Lounge

5/17/2025 - The Rebel Lounge - Phoenix, Arizona.

Phoenix showed up big time for The Summer Set last night, and the band returned the love with a show that felt like a homecoming and a fresh chapter all at once. With support from Maeby and Diva Bleach, the night was stacked with energy, heart, and a crowd that was more than ready to celebrate.

The Summer Set meet & greet

Before the lights dimmed and the guitars kicked in, fans were treated to something truly special—a private listening party and meet & greet with the band. I had the chance to be there and photograph the moment as everyone, phones down and hearts full, listened to The Summer Set’s new album front to back. There was laughter, singing, and the unmistakable buzz of fans hearing something that’s going to live in their summer playlists all year long.

Right before they hit the stage, I also had the opportunity to snap some promo shots with the band—just minutes before they lit up the room.

Maeby opened the night with raw emotion and dreamy indie vibes, setting the tone perfectly. Diva Bleach followed with high-octane energy and a confidence that screamed “next big thing.” And then came The Summer Set.

Their set was everything you’d hope for—tight, nostalgic, and full of life. New songs blended seamlessly with the classics, and the band had the crowd in their palm from the jump. You could feel the connection between band and fans—like old friends catching up, singing every word together.
