Nat and Alex Wolff give Chicago a performance they won’t forget

Chicago, Illinois - November 14th 2024

Nat and Alex Wolff brought a surge of energy and connection to the United Center in Chicago on November 14th, opening for Billie Eilish on her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour. Playing to a sold-out crowd for the second consecutive night, the brothers delivered a 40-minute set that transformed their role as supporting acts into something far more memorable.  Performing on a 360-degree stage, the Wolff brothers alternated their attention to all sides of the arena, ensuring every corner of the massive venue felt engaged. Their high-energy performance was particularly striking considering the challenge of opening for an artist as monumental as Billie Eilish, whose fans had come primarily for her. Yet, Nat and Alex refused to be overshadowed, making it clear they were there to win over the audience.  

The duo’s setlist was heavily drawn from their latest project, Table for Two, interspersed with heartfelt storytelling that gave fans insight into the origins of each track. Highlights included “All My Plans,” a moving tribute written for their father during his battle with cancer, and “Soft Kissing Hour,” co-produced by Billie herself—a collaboration that undoubtedly resonated with the crowd. For long-time fans, a standout moment was their nostalgic nod to their Naked Brothers Band roots, performing “If That’s Not Love.” The song was met with cheers from those who grew up watching them and served as a reminder of their evolution as artists.  

Throughout their set, the Wolff brothers created moments of pure connection. Nat took his energy to the next level by jumping off the stage and heading to the barricade, hugging and singing directly to fans. Their stage presence was electric, with both brothers sprinting across the stage multiple times, ensuring no moment felt static.  Despite being openers, Nat and Alex performed with the confidence and charisma of headliners. They didn’t just play music—they brought the crowd into their world. Whether it was through audience participation like singing along or illuminating the arena with camera lights, the brothers ensured no one could call their performance dull. For those in attendance, Nat and Alex Wolff delivered an unforgettable show, proving that even as openers, they could command the stage like seasoned pros. It was the kind of performance that left fans talking long after the lights went up—an undeniable triumph for the Wolff brothers on a massive stage.
