Marcus King's 2024 Syracuse show and the Mood Swings setting

Marcus King's Syracuse appearance took place at the Landmark Theatre on June 8, 2024, during the Mood Swings World Tour. His official site preserves the date and venue, while Syracuse University's The NewsHouse published a contemporary account of the performance. The combination fixes both the booking and a report from the room, turning an expired ticket alert into a record of the album's live setting.

Mood Swings had arrived that spring, with an April 5 album release advertised alongside the title song's official February lyric video. Its unsettled emotional register gave the tour a clear center, but the Syracuse performance was not confined to the new record. In The NewsHouse, reviewer Liam Gleeson described King arriving with a nine-piece band and beginning the song set with Beautiful Stranger after an introductory jam. The report then traced the move into It's Too Late and highlighted King's interplay with guitarist Drew Smithers.

Gleeson's account placed the evening across Southern blues, rock, soul and country, with songs including Lie Lie Lie and Me or Tennessee alongside material from Mood Swings. He described an approximately 90-minute set and reported that the main performance closed with a cover of Cliff Nobles & Co.'s The Horse. Those details belong to that review, rather than this desk's firsthand experience. They give the archive something more specific than a prediction borrowed from another stop on the tour.

The official Mood Swings lyric video is a related release, not footage of the Landmark performance. It provides a way back to the album's themes while the concert reporting records how King and his band carried a wider catalogue into the room. Our note on [reading a venue calendar](/ninefolds-indie-music-desk-reads-the-crescent-ballroom-phoenix-live-calendar) explains the boundary between those sources: an itinerary establishes a plan, and reporting is needed to describe the event. Here, the artist's archive and the contemporary review can be read together without reviving the old page's ticket-sales urgency.
