Everything was great. Incredible crowd here. I have never played in that sort of set up before. It’s amazing. It’s a nice different vibe than any other gig we’ve been able to do. I really enjoyed it.

It was such a magical experience. I just felt safe and comfortable, and I felt like I was being listened to. And that is such a lovely thing as a performer.

It has been the most fantastic experience. We just had the best time in Basel. The venue is fantastic.
