Girish and The Chronicles Bring Hard Rock Energy to Adele Hit on AGT

The crowd didn’t know what hit them when Girish and The Chronicles took on Adele’s “Set Fire to the Rain”—and completely reinvented it. From the first guitar riff, it was clear this wasn’t going to be a standard cover.

With soaring vocals and blistering instrumentals, the band transformed the ballad into a rock spectacle. The lead singer’s gritty, powerful voice roared over screaming guitars and crashing drums. Each band member brought raw energy, headbanging in sync as the performance escalated.

The judges were visibly stunned. One called it “the most unexpected twist on a classic” they’d heard on the show. The group didn’t just cover Adele—they owned the moment with a bold identity and fearless sound.

This performance proved that rock still has a home on the AGT stage. Girish and The Chronicles left a lasting impression and earned the respect of a new generation of fans.
