What it was like
Fans do not describe a RUFUS DU SOL show as a concert. They describe it as closer to a spiritual gathering - which is the kind of thing that sounds like marketing until you're standing in the Forum floor on the second night of a five-night run and the room goes somewhere you didn't agree to go.
This is Night 2 of the residency. The Australian trio builds their live sets on live instrumentation woven through deep house and melodic techno, and each night is expected to draw a different setlist from across the catalog - Solace, Bloom, Atlas, Surrender. Regulars who follow multi-night runs report that nights 2 and 3 tend to hold the deepest, most adventurous sets, the point where the band locks in with the crowd and stops playing it safe.
Doors open at 6:30 PM. The Forum's general admission floor is the preferred experience - arrive early for the best position. Reserved seating is available in the bowl. Parking lots surround the Forum off Manchester Boulevard. If you saw Night 1, Night 2 will take you somewhere different. If you missed it, this is where to start.
