When Beauty School Dropout hit Atlanta, it won’t just be another tour stop. It’ll be a full-throttle collision of heartbreak, lust, nostalgia, and reckless honesty.
Based on the current setlist, this isn’t a greatest hits lap. It’s a statement.
The band is leaning heavily into Where Did All The Butterflies Go?, opening the night with the title track before ripping straight into “XXX” and “Two of Us.” It sets the tone immediately, intimate, volatile, and unfiltered.
Tracks like “Fever” and “Sex Appeal” bring the swagger. “Madonna” and “Heart Away” carry that glossy, emotionally chaotic edge the band has perfected. And when they drop “We Made Plans & God Laughed,” you can feel the shift, the room goes from jumping to listening.
There’s something intentional about the pacing. The middle of the set leans darker and heavier with “Coming Down” and “On Your Lips,” while “LMTFA” and “Adeline” pull the crowd back into singalong territory.
And then there’s “City Never Sleeps.” A closer that feels less like an ending and more like a warning shot.
What makes a Beauty School Dropout show hit isn’t just the hooks. It’s the tension. The way vulnerability and bravado sit side by side. The way chaos feels choreographed but still dangerous.
Atlanta isn’t just getting a performance. It’s getting a band in full control of their aesthetic, their narrative, and their moment.
If this setlist is any indication, it’s going to be loud, messy, emotional, and unforgettable.
