\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAir at Arizona Financial Theatre on Sept. 17, 2025.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
In 1998, electronic pop royalty, Air<\/a>, released their debut album, \u201cMoon Safari,\u201d which gave them instant mainstream success, allowing them to compose and produce the score for Sofia Coppola\u2019s \u201cThe Virgin Suicides.\u201d A year later, one of their singles was used for a scene in \u201c10 Things I Hate About You.\u201d This teed them up for several decades of popularity among loyal fans and cult classic enjoyers alike. <\/p>\nOn Friday, the quintessentially French band graced the Arizona Financial Theatre<\/a> with \u201cMoon Safari,\u201d after DJ Vegyn\u2019s reprisal of it. They left the crowd on their feet, begging for an encore twice.<\/p>\nThe stage was furnished with a white frame, encapsulating all three touring band members in a box that projected an explosive light show, and images of lips painted in red and 60s-style mascara-covered eyes. <\/p>\nThe show kicked off with a sweet, dreamy performance of \u201cLa Femme d\u2019argent,\u201d before electrifying the audience with a loud and buzzy rendition of their triumph, \u201cSexy Boy.\u201d<\/p>\nAir brought their dreamy magic to the Arizona Financial Theatre on Sept. 26, 2025. Matt Lu<\/strong><\/p>\nThe most impressive aspect of their set was the quality of the production \u2014 each hit of the drum pierced through the hum of the synthesizers and guitars, creating the perfect balance of sound. At points, they traveled between being reminiscent of a distortion-heavy Sonic Youth breakdown and the clean, electronic style of Aphex Twin. But consistently, they kept that misty, romantic vibe that makes them Air.<\/p>\nThe bandmates, in their matching white jumpsuits, guided the crowd through the rest of the album in a short 30 minutes, before saying \u201cMerci!\u201d and leaving the stage with wine glasses in hand.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe audience, charmed with Doc Martens and septum piercings, clapped in unison, chanting for more. A man who had earlier boasted to the woman in front of him about seeing the Cocteau Twins and Ride in Ireland put a peace sign in the air and screamed at the top of his lungs.<\/p>\nAs requested, the band returned with the second portion of their set, beginning with their 2001 song, Radian. They followed up with \u201cCherry Blossom Girl\u201d and the screen behind them lit up in tones of calming powder pink. Earlier this year, the band went viral for bringing Charli XCX out to sing the vocals for the song \u2014 instead of light pink, the screen blasted Brat green, of course.<\/p>\nThey later played \u201cHighschool Lover,\u201d which was nothing short of tear-inducing and magical. The group then played their second selection from \u201cThe Virgin Suicides\u201d score, \u201cDirty Trip,\u201d a mysteriously eerie song that perfectly follows the theatrical highs and twisting lows of the film.<\/p>\nFrench band Air played their record \u201cMoon Safari\u201d at Arizona Financial Theatre on Sept. 26, 2025. Matt Lu<\/strong><\/p>\nOnce again, the members set their guitars down and stepped out from behind their keyboards and drum kit to bow and say their goodbyes. As expected, the audience hadn\u2019t yet seen enough.<\/p>\nAfter a few minutes of shouting and pleading for the final encore, the beginning sounds of \u201cAlone in Kyoto\u201d began to play. The familiar song was featured in Coppola\u2019s \u201cLost in Translation,\u201d which audience members recognized instantly.<\/p>\nAfter a few seconds of teasing, Air walked back on stage to finish the song, a mysterious and melancholy ode to soul-searching in an unfamiliar place. Finally, they broke into the final song of the night, \u201cElectronic Performers.\u201d<\/p>\nThe song was the perfect ending to the night, not only encapsulating exactly what the band is about, but also giving the audience an invigorating note to end on. Bright lights flashed and danced as the singers repeated, \u201cWe are electronics,\u201d into a voice modifier as the song\u2019s uniquely electronic beat played on.<\/p>\nMore photos from Air guest Ionna Gika:<\/strong><\/p>\nIonna Gika opened for Air on Sept. 26 at Arizona Financial Theatre.
