Cassadee Pope breaks out Hey Monday song on headlining tour
While Hey Monday has technically been on a hiatus since 2011, frontwoman Cassadee Pope recently brought out a classic from the band’s discography during her Lexington, KY stop on April 20.
Pope, who is now a country artist, played Hey Monday favorite “Homecoming” while on her headlining tour with Clare Dunn and Hannah Ellis.

Additionally, before playing the song, she commended her scene roots, making note that Hey Monday was a very integral part in her career.
“So the main reason why I’m here is because I was in a band called Hey Monday,” Pope says before playing the track. “And I thought, ‘I can’t play a headlining tour and not play a Hey Monday song,’ so this one goes back to 2008.”

However, Pope’s performance doesn’t entirely come as a surprise. The singer actually teased that she would be playing a Hey Monday track earlier this month.
When a fan asked if her song “FYI,” or a song from Hey Monday appeared on the setlist, Pope quoted the tweet and replied, “BOTH.”
BOTH. https://t.co/2EUJzQ1bAe

Despite what you may be thinking, this is not the first time Pope has played the song since 2011. Actually, the artist was a special guest at the Charlotte date of last year’s Vans Warped Tour where she busted out two Hey Monday jams, “Homecoming” and “How You Love Me Now.”
You can listen to “Homecoming,” which is from the band’s 2008 album Hold On Tight, below.
