CONCERT REVIEW: Palaye Royale Light Up Tilburg

On Thursday, November 7th, Palaye Royale took the stage at 013 in Tilburg for one of the first shows of their ‘Death or Glory’ tour. Right from the start, it was an explosive opening, and the crowd went wild. The stage setup was very cool, designed to look like the front of a house, complete with street lamps—a nice touch!

From the very beginning, the band had a great connection with the audience. At one point, I heard a lot of excited reactions, and when I looked closer, I saw frontman Remington Leith standing on one of the bars in the middle of the crowd. It was amazing to watch!

The band had put together an awesome setlist, including plenty of songs from their latest release, Death or Glory. Other favorites were featured too, like No Love in LA, which was clearly a crowd favorite. As soon as the first notes hit, the audience burst into loud singing.

The show featured plenty of surprises, including giant balloons released into the crowd, confetti, and fireworks fountains on stage. But one of the coolest moments was when the frontman decided to crowd-surf over the audience in a rubber dinghy. It was fantastic! It’s clear he loves being close to the fans, as he did it not just once, but twice. On the second go, he fell out of the boat but was quickly hoisted back to the stage by the crowd, still surfing along.

They also made room for a few acoustic songs, offering a nice break and a chance for everyone to catch their breath. It was definitely needed, as the band kept their energy at maximum throughout the entire show, without ever letting the intensity drop.

It was fantastic to see the audience give that energy right back, with dancing, interaction, and even mosh pits.

As we reached the end of the show, there was a quick “we want more” moment, and the band came back for an encore with three more songs. One of them was Lonely, which began with Remington on the piano, and the rest of the band joined in. Once again, the crowd sang along with full passion, and another confetti moment added to the magic.

The night officially closed with Mr. Doctor Man, giving everyone one last chance to go wild. And the crowd definitely did! I have so much respect for Palaye Royale. They delivered a high-energy performance from start to finish, maintaining top quality the whole night through. Truly impressive.
