Flo Rida truly electrified the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport, Connecticut, ending the night with the announcement of a major European tour. As the news broke across social media, the creator, meanwhile, gave thanks to his energetic crowd for adding fuel to the support and anticipation of his fans.

The “My House” creator must have been truly feeling the spotlight in his post-Flo Rida show in Connecticut. He shouted out to Bridgeport and Fairfield University for giving him an “#epic time,” before showing his true appreciation for the “incredible energy” from the people and bidding them until next times, loaded with the announcement that the “Club Can’t Handle Me” Europe tour has today been set in motion.
These are words that lit the comment section on fire. Someone from the university in which the concert was held commented simply, “thanks for a great show!” Another concert-goer shot back that it was the “Best show ever!” with enthusiastic emojis emphasizing their point. There were many such comments insurgent about the fabulousness of the night they had; one more comment reads in all caps, “This show was absolutely incredible!! Come back to us again in CT next year!!” Double exclamation points and fire emojis should represent the while-the-feel experience.
As the Connecticut-based fans sifted through memories of the concert, international aficionados prepared their eyes for the news of the tour. A Norwegian supporter made a targeted inquiry for the arrival’s details in Stavanger as he agitated for a meet-up. The excitement hasn’t yet been kept to just Europe, though. Another comment unleashes a call for more North American dates, with particular emphasis: “When you do a tour, please come to North America. And please come to indy.” This comment speaks to the able power of a single tour announcement to prompt a wave of hope from continent speakers of English anxiously awaiting the name of their city to be next on the list.
Amidst the deluge of positive feedback, one voice spoke out with a divergent view of fan interaction. Automated-looking “copy pasted emoji responses” from artists can be a “turn-off,” this user put it. The remark adds an interesting counterpoint to an era of never-ending negotiation between celebrity and fan engagement. It is a small but served reminder that behind all these screens there is an audience wishing for more connection than robotic responses.
Flo Rida seems really made for touring, with his reservoir of event anthems and energy to ignite. From the out-of-this-world heights of “Low” to the contemporaneous Best of category that is “My House,” Flo’s beat has always been event fare. The Bridgeport show was another testament to his still very much in operation potency in commanding a stage and connecting with a live audience. Followed immediately was an onslaught from the fans that called for a next show, those still raving from the current one. So, the staying power was pretty much established.

One fan commenting that he was the “best performing GOAT” stated that Flo Rida has built a reputation for live performances that many have not, and cannot forget. The ever-busy creator, still burning off energy from one crowd while stoking anticipation from the next, will find little rest as he transitions from a successful show Stateside into prep time for the European tour. The love that Bridgeport showed just marked the first stop on a new circuit through which a wholly new generation of fans across the pond are getting warmed for this experience. Pitbull recently collaborated with Flo Rida, and the creator also released a powerful message about divine favor and grace. Additionally, Flo Rida and iCandy dropped a new freestyle anthem.
