On the night of the fifth, Minneapolis’ Varsity Theater pulsed with uncontainable energy as rising artist BRAYTON took the stage, delivering a performance that felt both intimate and electric. Accompanied by guitarist Cam Hornbeck, BRAYTON launched into his original track “Hold On,” the crowd was engaged, echoing his lyrics, hands raised, and hearts fully in tune with him as BRAYTON lept off stage and into the crowd.
BRAYTON’s ability to connect with his audience was nothing short of remarkable. He darted across the stage with infectious enthusiasm, commanding every inch of space while somehow still finding moments of genuine connection—locking eyes with fans, exchanging smiles, and letting the music speak for itself.
One of the night’s most talked-about highlights came when BRAYTON closed his set with the cover of Pierce the Veil’s “King for a Day.” His rendition paid tribute to the post-hardcore classic while infusing it with his own style—raw, urgent, and unapologetically emotional. The crowd erupted, moshing and singing along as if it were the song’s debut moment.
By the time the final notes faded, the energy in the room still buzzed with excitement. BRAYTON didn’t just perform—he owned the stage, proving that his growing fanbase is no accident. With his blend of passion, talent, and fearless performance style, BRAYTON is clearly a name to watch on the modern rock and alt-pop scene.
BRAYTON‘s Setlist:
I KNOW YOU HATE ME

BUT I DID
HOLD ON
AWAY FOR TOO LONG
LOVE OF YOUR LIFE
KING FOR A DAY
