Welcome to Andy’s Beach Club World Tour… Californian superstar Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals set the temperature soaring at Manchester’s Victoria Warehouse. With a set comprising of songs from the latest album Oxnard through to Venice, Malibu and future release Ventura (April 2019) the crowd were well and truly whipped up into a frenzy.

Whether he’s singing, rapping, dancing or dropping some insanely good beats behind the drum kit Anderson .Paak is a true force of nature!

Finishing the night with a stream of confetti and a tribute to friend and collaborator Mac Miller .Paak and The Free Nationals performed Dang!

Support for Anderson .Paak came from talented singer/songwriter Tayla Parx. Her infectious happy and colourful performance (amongst giant inflatable flowering cacti) was well received and warmed the crowd up a treat. You will have definitely heard Parx’s songs before as she has some impressive songwriting credits under her belt (Ariana Grande, Janelle Monae and Panic! at the Disco to name a few). Her debut album We Need to Talk comes out in April and features the fantastic ‘I Want You’.
