Kane Brown decided to enter the Iowa Grandstand stage in a blaze of glory.
Pre-recorded images of the country-pop singer played across the screen at the back of the stage as Brown and his band launched into "Setting the Night On Fire."
As Thursday night's crowd of 14,541 boiled with excitement and the song reached its end, flames lit the stage.
"How're we feeling?" Brown said to the crowd. "I've been waiting all day to play for you guys."
Brown became prominent in the 2010s with early songs like "Used to Love You Sober" and "Don't Go City on Me," and gained momentum from a cover of George Strait’s “Check Yes or No” on Facebook that accrued 7 million views in three weeks. Since then, his catalog has expanded to include "Whisky Sour" and "Homesick."
Brown previously played central Iowa during 2018's Big Country Bash.
