Let’s go back a few day to Friday June 23 when we had the BEST time at the SOLD OUT XTU Anniversary Show with Luke Bryan. Chayce Beckham, Alana Springsteen, and Tyler Braden also performed on the main stage, as they are on tour with Luke. Danielle Bradbery, Hannah Ellis, Jordan Harvey, and Kylie Morgan brought the party inside due to rain and performed in the Walt Whitman Plaza as the XTU Side-stage.

It’s such an incredible day when we get to meet so many members of XTU Nation in person and really see the impact the radio station has in the Delaware Valley. Even with the crazy rain and having to move stages and performances inside, the party didn’t stop. We can’t thank our new artists enough for being able to pivot and still perform for the crowd who came early. So many people were literally soaking wet and still showed up ready to party.

If you didn’t get to come to the Anniversary Show, or maybe you missed some moments, we wanted to put together a list of the 5 amazing moments you may have missed.

Luke Bryan of course put on a fantastic show. He was not only kind enough to do a special sound check for us, but he also stopped by the backstage area and chatted with the on air staff for bit. It was the first time I met him, and he exceeded expectations. Check out some of the amazing moments you might have missed.

  • When We Had to Move the XTU Side-Stage Inside Because of the Rain

    We normally have our awesome side-stage set up over on the Walt Whitman side of Freedom Mortgage Pavillon where some new artists in country music take their time to come and perform for XTU Nation. This year we were fortunate to have Kylie Morgan, Danielle Bradberry, Jordan Harvey, and Hannah Ellis. The side stage was supposed to start at 3p and it was POURING. So at the last minute our engineering team and artists pivoted and moved the whole set up inside, and it was AWESOME. Talk about incredible musicians.

  • Luke Bryan Talking About Being An Eagles Fan

    He said he’s an Eagles fan now since we drafted all of his Georgia Bulldogs. I met him backstage, told him it’s the first time I’m meeting him and thanked him for coming to say hi to us. Of course he’s so nice, and then I said, I was going to bring you Eagles gear because you’re a fan now since the Eagles drafted all of his Georgia Bulldogs, and he said, “Oh that’s good, I’m going to use that tonight.” AND HE DID! Check out the awesome video of Luke below. He also said “Fly Eagles Fly” and said Philly gets nuts when we talk about sports and football. Ha! It’s so good.
