From the Pit - Concert Review: Omar Courtz Ignites a Sold-Out Fillmore Silver Spring with Island Heat and Heartfelt Gratitude

April 8, 2025 – The Fillmore Silver Spring, MD

If you don’t know Omar Courtz yet, it’s only a matter of time. The Puerto Rican singer-songwriter and rising urbano star has been steadily building momentum with his smooth blend of reggaeton, R&B, and futuristic Latin beats—and on April 8th, he proved that he’s not just next up, he’s here.

Performing to a sold-out crowd at The Fillmore Silver Spring, Omar delivered a high-octane, emotionally rich concert that left no doubt: this man is a force.

Fans Wrapped Around the Block

Long before the lights dimmed, excitement buzzed in the air. Fans began lining up early in the day, wrapping around the building with merch in hand and lyrics already on their lips. The anticipation was thick. This wasn’t just another show—this was the show. By the time doors opened, the energy outside was already erupting, and once inside, it only intensified.

A Loud Start to a great Night

The concert kicked off right on time, and the second Omar Courtz hit the stage, the room exploded. The opening track? A one-two punch with “Goddess” and “Una Noti”—two sultry, beat-driven crowd favorites that instantly set the mood. The audience’s roar was deafening, and from that moment, it was clear: this was going to be a sing-along from start to finish.

And it was.

An Audience That Knew Every Word

From the first note to the last beat, the crowd didn’t miss a single lyric—not even the newer tracks from Omar’s latest album, “Primera Musa.” Whether it was deep cuts or chart-ready singles, fans sang every syllable like scripture. Songs like “2016,” “Nubes,” and “Alócate” filled the venue with wave after wave of sound—Omar leading the charge, and the crowd meeting him with unwavering devotion.

Charisma, Energy, and Gratitude

Omar Courtz’s stage presence was magnetic. Drenched in island swagger and raw passion, he moved with relentless energy—jumping from one side of the stage to the other, engaging with fans in the front row, pointing at signs, even grabbing a few phones to record quick selfies mid-performance. Every chance he got, he took a moment to thank the audience, expressing his heartfelt gratitude in both Spanish and English. “Ustedes son mi todo,” he said. “I wouldn’t be here without you.” And the fans let him know the feeling was mutual.

One of the most surprising and welcome moments of the night came when he performed “Pa’ Siempre,” his standout contribution to Tainy’s ‘Data’ album. It was a deep cut, but the fans knew. And they went off.

An Explosive Finale: “Velda” and the Puerto Rican Flag

Then came the finale: “Velda,” Omar’s fiery collaboration from Bad Bunny’s latest album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos.” As the beat dropped, a massive Puerto Rican flag appeared on the screen behind him, and the crowd absolutely lost it. Phones shot into the air, people screamed, cried, danced. The moment felt bigger than music—it was cultural pride, unity, and pure celebration. Omar stood center stage, beaming, arms wide open, soaking it all in.

Final Thoughts: A Star Ascending

This wasn’t just a concert. It was a statement. Omar Courtz brought the passion of the Caribbean, the swagger of modern reggaeton, and the sincerity of a young artist deeply connected to his roots—and his fans.

April 8th at The Fillmore Silver Spring was more than a sold-out show. It was a celebration, a homecoming, and a promise that Omar Courtz’s star isn’t just rising—it’s shining brighter than ever. If you weren’t there, you missed history. And if you were, you already know: we witnessed something special.
