Review and Gallery by: Jaime “Chino” Flor

The summer, the vibe, the atmosphere, and the music that came along with it was nothing short of amazing during Slightly Stoopid‘s Step Into The Summer Tour at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, Tx presented by Live Nation last July 12, 2025. Everything from the vendors outside, the crazy visuals, Little Stranger, and Iration created an ambience you just had to experience.  It was a whole vibe that lasted throughout the night with the entire tour crew and venue going all out.

The Hip Hop duo, Little Stranger, started the party with a bang with their groovy beats that got early ongoers moving. Their songs are so unique but melodically pleasing that it’s hard not to sway and get lost in them. “Girl III” and “Coffee & a Joint” were some of my favorites from their set.

The reggae sensation, Iration, was up next. They rode on the high that was set by the openers before them and took it to the next level. A good mix of calming yet funky rhythm and beats serenaded the venue. A true reggae vibe with a stage lit up to match the intensity, the hour long set was well received by a happy dancing crowd. Hearing “Summer Nights” was the cherry on top for me to an already incredible show.

Slightly Stoopid was one for the books. The lighting and atmosphere they created to deliver an unforgettable show was truly one of a kind. Their music takes your mind to another world while simultaneously fueling every movement your body makes to synchronize with the flow. It really is hard to describe and the gallery does not do justice to the entire experience. There are a couple more shows that stretches till August so I highly encourage you to grab a ticket if they come to a city near you.
