liamg516 Webster Hall in NYC was buzzing with anticipation as fans poured in for a night showcasing
emerging pop talent. Though Nightly was the headliner, openers Brooke Alexx and Will Linley
brought their A-game and lit up the stage with performances that felt anything but secondary. The
iconic venue’s cozy yet high-energy setting was the perfect space to catch two artists making
serious waves – and from the moment the lights dimmed, you could tell the crowd was ready for
something special.
Brooke Alexx
Brooke Alexx opened the show with a dynamic burst of confidence, stepping on stage in a bold,
colorful outfit that matched her vibrant sound. Her set was playful, polished, and packed with
charisma. Even those unfamiliar with her music were instantly pulled in by her catchy hooks and
smooth vocals. Between songs, she engaged with the audience like she was talking to old friends,
making the big stage feel personal.
One standout moment was how effortlessly she got the crowd clapping along mid-set – it felt like a room full of new fans discovering a favorite. After the show, a steady stream of people stopped by the merch table to meet her, and she greeted each one with genuine warmth. Brooke brought joy and fire, and her performance left a clear mark.

Will Linley
Will Linley followed with a set that brought a wave of warmth and energy into the room, instantly connecting with a crowd that was already buzzing with excitement. From the moment Will Linley stepped onto the stage, it was clear he wasn’t just there to perform, he was there to connect. Backed by an enthusiastic audience already singing along from the very first song, Linley delivered each track with a heartfelt sincerity that made the space feel less like a concert and more like an intimate gathering of friends.
Will’s vocals were both strong and emotive, effortlessly carrying the emotion of each lyric. One of the most powerful moments came during a stripped-down song, where the crowd fell completely silent, collectively hanging on every word. It was the kind of pause that only happens when an artist truly captures the room. That emotional openness continued off-stage, too. After his set, fans eagerly gathered near the merch table, hoping to catch a moment with him—and he didn’t disappoint. He met each person with the same warmth and kindness he had exuded on stage, making time for photos, hugs, and heartfelt conversations.
Linley’s authenticity wasn’t just part of the performance—it defined it. From start to finish, he brought an undeniable sense of presence and purpose that left a lasting impression on everyone in the room.
