On July 15, The Driver Era brought their Obsession Tour to Mountain View’s Shoreline Amphitheatre for a night packed with energy, connection, and unforgettable moments. The concert opened with a captivating set from Colombian-born singer VALÉ, whose smooth indie-pop, R&B, and Latin vibes set the perfect tone. Songs like “todo bien, valentina! / Oye como va” and “Chill Like That” had the crowd hooked early, creating an intimate yet electric atmosphere.
From the moment Ross and Rocky Lynch hit the stage, the energy was contagious. Their Obsession Tour—which began in Auckland on January 18 and wraps up July 18 in Los Angeles—has taken them across 50 cities in Oceania, North America, and South America, all in support of their fourth album, Obsession, released April 11. The Mountain View crowd was fired up, singing along to every song, from fan favorites like “Natural,” "Can't Believe She Got Away," and “San Francisco” to an upbeat cover of “I Gotta Feeling.”
Ross kept the crowd engaged by repeatedly reaching out to the front rows, touching hands, and sharing smiles that fueled the night’s energy. The band’s set balanced infectious beats with moments of fun and surprise, like a salsa-inspired dance break that got everyone moving. At one point, Ross gave a playful shoutout to longtime R5 fans before launching into “Afterglow,” which earned big cheers. He also checked in with the audience, asking, “Are you having fun tonight?”—and the response was loud and enthusiastic. As the night was ending, the kiss cam moment sparked waves of laughter and crowd-wide excitement that carried straight into the final song.
If this tour proved anything, it’s that The Driver Era know how to create nights fans won’t forget. As their Obsession Tour wraps up, expect even more exciting shows ahead.
