Maggie Rogers Delivers a Soulful Set at Salesforce’s CNX Nightcap in Chicago

Salesforce turned up the volume on June 11, 2025, with its CNX Nightcap at Chicago’s House of Blues. The exclusive event for Salesforce Connections attendees featured Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers. Known for her infectious energy and honest lyrics, Rogers delivered a powerhouse performance in a more intimate setting than her typical tour stops. Guests lucky enough to attend this invite-only concert were treated to a vibrant night of music, connection, and a few welcome surprises.

The Show

King Marie

Before Maggie Rogers took the stage, Chicago’s own King Marie warmed up the crowd. A multitalented DJ, singer, and creative, King Marie brought a pulse to the room with her genre-blending style. While her set was brief, it didn’t go unnoticed. Mixing hip-hop, R&B, and house, she seamlessly set the vibe for the night. You may have spotted her on social media under @kingmarie.

Maggie Rogers

As for Maggie Rogers, she’s no stranger to Chicago. Just last October, she headlined the United Center on her Don’t Forget Me tour. Returning to the Windy City for this special event, she showed once again why fans adore her. Rogers radiated warmth and authenticity, inviting the crowd into each song like an old friend. Even in a corporate-sponsored setting, she made the evening feel personal and heartfelt.

Her 14-song set pulled from fan favorites and new material alike. Opening with “That’s Where I Am,” she kept the momentum going with “Want Want,” “Give a Little,” and the electric “Shatter.” Mid-set gems like “Fallingwater” and “Alaska” reminded everyone of her breakthrough roots. She closed the night with “Don’t Forget Me,” the title track of her latest album—equal parts tender and triumphant. Through it all, her voice soared, and the crowd swayed in unison.

Conclusion

The CNX Nightcap was more than a party—it was a celebration of music and connection. Thanks to Salesforce for an amazing night. Attendees walked away with not just conference insights, but a soundtrack for the summer. Maggie Rogers brought her magic, and Chicago felt every beat.
