On a breezy Wednesday night, Lakewood Amphitheatre became a temple of sound, light, and collective emotion as RUFUS DU SOL brought their global Inhale/Exhale tour to Atlanta. The energy in the air was undeniable—19,000 fans packed the venue, buzzing with anticipation for the Sydney-based trio that has redefined the intersection of live electronic and indie dance.
From the moment the first pulse hit, the crowd was locked in. But it was “Treat You Better” that elevated the night to something sacred. As the track built, the amphitheater lit up, not from stage lights, but from thousands of smartphones swaying in unison, their screens casting a soft glow like stars orbiting the music.
Then came the inevitable moment: “Innerbloom.” The global anthem didn’t just play, it echoed. It reverberated through the crowd in full sing-along mode, a wave of shared memory, heartache, and transcendence. For many, this song was the reason they came. And it hit.
Midway through the set, the surprise of the night emerged: Curtis Harding, the genre-blending vocalist who moved to Atlanta at 14, stepped out to join the trio for a stunning live rendition of “Surrender.” With his gospel roots inherited from his mother and soul-drenched delivery, Harding brought a raw, local power to the track that had the crowd erupting.
And just when the night felt like it couldn’t soar any higher, drummer James Hunt took center stage around 10:30 PM for a freestyle solo that was nothing short of explosive. Each hit, roll, and rhythm was met with gasps, cheers, and a chorus of ooohs and ahhhs from a crowd completely captivated by his mastery.
This wasn’t just a concert. It was a ceremony—where the music, the crowd, and the moment all aligned.
Atlanta asked. RUFUS answered.
