Mika burst onto the music scene with massive hit Grace Kelly after leaving the Royal Holiday Tour before heading back home to London. Mika is one of the music world's best new talents and is currently working on his second album due out in late 2008.

The Midway State 532n16

A great new band from Toronto, ON, The Midway State opened for Mika on his 2008 tour. They have toured with Evanescence and Daughtry in the past and blend rock, piano, and soulful vocals. Many of their songs, including Unaware, which was featured on The OC, Change For You, and A Million Fireflies start out softly, with afro-ed singer Nathan Ferraro crooning over the keyboard, and then rock out once the rest of the band s in. Daenen Bramberger is boss on drums, Mike Wise plays a great guitar and adds backup vocals, and Mike Kirsh supplies a mean bass. Add this all up and The Midway State gave an incredible live performance for an opening act and definitely gained a ton of fans during the tour. Look out for some big things from this band when they release their first album later this year and then star in their own tour!

The Main Attraction 4j5up

After a little break to set up, Mika took to the Orpheum's stage and lit it up like an exploding super stylish and looked like they were sponsored by American Apparel.

The concert was fantastic and never let up, featuring plus-size contain the energy. The crowd was so into it and sung along all night, especially during Love Today.

Finally, after playing all of his other hits and a few songs he only performs live, Mika drove everyone crazy with Grace Kelly, almost blowing off the Orpheum's ornate, golden roof. But that wasn't it, for the perfect moment to close out a truly unforgettable live performance.
