The long-awaited night had finally arrived in Nashville for Role Model’s No Place Like Tour, the anticipation was high, and anyone within miles of the venue could sense that. Fans eagerly gathered outside, exchanging smiles and wishes for a happy International Women’s Day. Some even handed out roses, embracing the sentiment that "on International Women’s Day, everyone is Sally."

The night kicked off with the incredible Debbii Dawson, who took the stage with a unique blend of sounds reminiscent of Dolly Parton, ABBA and a dash of David Bowie. Her performance effortlessly set the stage, getting the crowd fired up and ready for Role Model.

Role Model, also known as Tucker Pillsbury, is known for his quirky humor, often introducing himself as someone other than who he is: "And we are The 1975," he joked. From the moment he took the stage, the energy was electric. Fans couldn’t help but dance, whether they were starting conga lines or two-stepping, Role Model had everyone moving. His set included covers of The 1975’s “Someone Else,” new tracks from his album and even some nostalgic throwbacks. One thing was for sure: Role Model delivered an unforgettable performance.

A signature moment of the tour is when Pillsbury invited someone from the audience to join him on stage as his “Sally” for the song “Sally, When the Wine Runs Out.” In Nashville, that lucky “Sally” was none other than Ashe, adding an extra layer of magic to the already captivating show.

The night in Nashville was true to music city, giving everyone a night full of good music, energy and connection. From Debbii Dawson’s captivating opening set to Role Model’s unforgettable performance, the crowd was given a show full of surprises and unforgettable moments. Whether it was dancing with friends, singing your favorite songs or simply soaking in the experience, everyone left the show in high spirits for the incredible night. The No Place Like Tour proved to be exactly that, a place where fans could come together and be part of something truly special.
