Kicking off the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Festival with an electrifying set, rock icon Lenny Kravitz commanded the stage at Las Vegas's T-Mobile Arena on September 22. As the opening act for the star-studded weekend, Kravitz delivered a masterclass in rock and roll showmanship, reminding everyone why he remains a vital force in music after decades in the industry. The performance was a high-octane journey through his celebrated catalog, designed to ignite the festival crowd from the very first note.
He launched into his set with a powerful cover of The Guess Who's classic "American Woman," immediately setting a fiery tone. From there, he seamlessly transitioned into his own stadium-sized hits, including the undeniable anthem "Fly Away" and the soulful, smooth groove of "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over." The setlist was a perfectly curated blend of raw energy and melodic grace, also featuring the introspective ballad "Believe" and the chart-topper "Again." For the grand finale, Kravitz and his powerhouse band unleashed a blistering rendition of "Are You Gonna Go My Way," closing out a performance that set an incredibly high bar for the rest of the festival.
