Los Angeles-based Grouplove kicked things off, getting the crowd dancing to a boisterous set featuring songs from their latest album, Spreading Rumours, including “School Boy” and “Ways to Go.” Hits from their debut album, such as “Tongue Tied” and “Itchin’ on a Photograph,” added to the electric performance. Close to the end of the set, Grouplove’s Christian Zucconi thanked the crowd for always making their Las Vegas shows great and remarked how The Cosmopolitan was the band’s favorite place on The Strip.
