March 3, 2023 — RuPaul’s Drag Race fan favorite and American Idol contestant Adore Delano ends her “Party Your World” Tour in Austin, Texas Friday night with a packed house. Delano’s world tour had its last stop at the newly relocated venue, Parish.
The crowd erupted into cheers as Delano and band members Meghan Herring, Nathan Morrow and Dylan Ewing walked on stage. The setlist started with songs from Delano’s 2016 and 2017 albums “After Party” and “Whatever.” The energy stayed high throughout the set as Delano performed some of her hits off previous albums, even including some covers of her favorite songs. Her set included covers like “Toxic” by Britney Spears, “I Put a Spell on You” by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, and “Creep” by Radiohead.
Aside from her 2016 and 2017 albums, Delano performed music from her 2014 album “Till Death Do Us Party” and her 2021 EP, “Dirty Laundry.” The crowd cheered in anticipation as soon as Delano began to introduce her next song, ready to sing along to her hits. Throughout the night, Delano often interacted with the crowd, speaking on her sobriety, the importance of being yourself, and even weighing in on the current Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber beef. Delano even told the audience about the time she may have interacted with Justin Bieber before cutting herself off and telling the audience, “Oh, I’ll tell you later, just FaceTime me after this," and moving on to the next song. This was one of the many instances where Delano’s charisma and comedic timing elevated the show experience for everyone in the room. After months of touring around the world, Delano was still able to effortlessly connect with the audience and create an amazing space where you truly felt like you were partying with Adore Delano.
The set ended with favorites “I Adore You” and “My Address Is Hollywood” off of her 2014 album. It was truly special to witness the energy between the audience and Delano during the final moments of the “Party Your World” Tour, and we look forward to more music and another visit from the rockstar.
