On day two, The Walters entranced the festival-goers with their emotive setlist, featuring standout tracks, such as "She’s Gonna Leave You" and "I Love You So," which perfectly complemented the breezy night and ambiance of Filinvest grounds.
Luke Olson's poignant reflection on the American band's journey added depth to their performance, highlighting the power of perseverance and importance of second chances.
The vocalist says, “The next song [“I Love You So”] is probably the reason why you guys know about us.
“You know, we started back in 2014 and we broke up for about four or five years.
“And one day, I woke up to a message from our drummer Charlie and he said, ‘You know, I don’t know if you’ve seen the news but this song is going viral on TikTok,’ and he said, ‘I think we should talk.’
“I hadn’t seen them in four or five years, not once, so we decided to talk and we decided to, you know, hash out our differences, and… we realized we didn’t want to pass up on this opportunity.
“You know, we wanted to give this thing another try.”
Wrapping up the festival with a bang, Thundercat received thunderous cheers despite the delayed start of day 2, extending his set past 11 p.m.
