Noah Richardson Lights Up THON 2026
Noah Richardson, an alt singer-songwriter from Philadelphia, PA, rocked the Bryce Jordan Center in the wee hours of Saturday night.
He opened up his set with his rendition of two 1980’s classics: Phil Collins’ “In The Air,” and “Everybody Wants To Rule The World” by Tears for Fears.
Richardson then introduced his band composed of Dylan, Kevin and Jack, before playing “Sally,” a single released by him in July 2025, and the BJC gave its nod of approval. The band jumped right into “Believe” by Cher, followed by “All The Small Things” by blink-182.
An already energized crowd was then treated with “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World, before hopping into another original track called “My Turn.” Richardson then asked for crowd participation as he was singing, telling the BJC to “crouch down as low as you can, and on the count of three, jump in the air.”
Richardson then went into his song “Tangerine,” which reached the Top 10 Charts in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada.
Richardson finished his set with “Seven Nation Army” by The White Stripes, sending a jolt of energy through the BJC.
