**Boston, MA –** Matthews Arena was alive with energy on March 29th as R&B superstar Kehlani headlined Northeastern University’s annual Springfest concert, presented by the Council for University Programs (CUP). The sold-out show, featuring opening acts Isaac Dunbar and DJ Baby Indiglo, captivated a crowd of enthusiastic students.
Kehlani’s performance, chosen based on high student demand in a CUP summer survey, was a highlight of the night. Her setlist included hits like “Next 2 U,” “What I Want,” “Sucia,” and “Distraction,” interspersed with slower songs such as “Honey” and “everything,” showcasing her vocal range and captivating the audience with both high-energy performances and intimate moments. She even surprised fans with a cover of Jordan Adetunji’s “KEHLANI.” The singer interacted with the crowd, at one point venturing into the floor section to the delight of screaming fans.
Opening acts also received high praise. Isaac Dunbar, performing to his largest audience yet, charmed the crowd with songs like “makeup drawer” and “kissy kissy,” while DJ Baby Indiglo successfully kept the energy high during the wait between performances.
Students expressed overwhelming enthusiasm for the concert. Many long-time fans described the experience as unforgettable, citing Kehlani’s stage presence, the impressive live band, and the overall atmosphere as highlights. While some attendees noted sore feet after a nearly four-hour standing concert, the universal sentiment was one of pure excitement and satisfaction. The concert, a resounding success, solidified Kehlani’s position as a top draw for the university’s student body.
