DIIV, a band from New York City, is a cornerstone in the modern shoegaze sound. Their droning guitars and hazy vocals cast a spell over Bridgestone Arena as the audience escaped into their emotional, sonic world. Moments later, floods of people rushed into the arena for the main act, Depeche Mode. New Wave is still alive through their electrifying and vivacious performance as the band commanded the stage. The concert was a nostalgic yet modern journey through their expansive catalogue, performing hits such as “Enjoy the Silence” and “Never Let Me Down Again.”
