The Orlando Social
I had the chance to attend the Leanna Firestone concert at The Social in Orlando, Florida on June 20th, 2026. Walking in, I wasn’t exactly sure what I would be experiencing to be honest. I had only been to this venue once many years ago, so I knew it would be an intimate venue, but was surprised when I walked in to see a very small “pit”, with some foldable chairs around the back platform. The pit could maybe fit five rows of people I want to say.
I signed up for the V.I.P. experience, and that alone was fantastic. The crowd was beautifully dressed, the true definition of girlhood. Sparkles, hair tinsel, and friendship bracelets everywhere. It was very welcoming and warm.
Leanna came out and did and an acoustic seat for us. Even while battling food poisoning, she showed up to perform. The V.I.P. crowd got to vote on songs played during the concert. Renaissance was the song that won for the surprise song in the show, and the V.I.P. crowd got to hear an acoustic version of Not Yet.
V.I.P. also got 10% off on all merch, and a free tote bag. I really felt I got my money’s worth for the V.I.P. upgrade. I am not a huge fan of buying merch at concerts, but I ended up purchasing a tour poster and a polaroid photo (and a hoodie, but that’s solely because the venue was freezing and I didn’t want to run back to my car).
Leanna was very kind when I met her! We shared a hug, she happily took a photo of herself and my Labubu (Faunk), then one of me and her. She was honored to be number four on Faunk’s celebrity meet and greet list.
The show itself was also a lot of fun. It started around 7:00 PM, with Abby Cates as the opener. She played a handful of songs, including Toyota Camry and April Fools. I added almost every song from her set onto my Spotify liked songs (except Bareback as that is not on Spotify as of the date this is posted). She gave an entertaining experience with her beautiful singing and funny stage banter. Fun fact, Abby is actually apart of Leanna’s band!
Leanna came out around 8:00 PM, and gave quite the performance. Her sparkly tights and and wavy hair really set the scene. She danced around the stage, high energy all night long. I will admit, I walked in completely blind. I was unsure what to expect in the slightest, I am a new fan of Leanna and this was my first show of hers. However, it won’t be the last either.
