Future Islands

What an experience! Future Islands delivered a concert at Yardpark Dortmund on Saturday evening that will not be forgotten anytime soon. The location alone was a highlight: Yardpark, with its urban charm and open atmosphere, provided the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable summer evening. Between industrial flair and green surroundings, an intimate, almost magical atmosphere was created. But the real magic began when Future Islands took to the stage. The band, known for their emotional depth and charismatic stage presence, exceeded all expectations. Frontman Samuel T. Herring transformed every line into a performance – with his distinctive voice, expressive dance moves, and a passion that immediately captivated the audience. Live, Future Islands are simply in a league of their own. The songs familiar from the albums take on a new dimension on stage: more powerful, raw, and real. “Seasons (Waiting on You)” and “Ran” in particular provided goose bump moments that had the entire Yardpark singing and dancing along. The audience was a colorful mix of long-time fans and curious newcomers, and everyone was swept away by the energy pulsing between the band and the crowd. It was a concert that touched the soul, not only musically but also emotionally. Conclusion: Future Islands at Yardpark Dortmund was a triumph. A band that is even better live than on record, a location that breathes atmosphere, and an audience that celebrated every moment. Those who were there know: this was more than just a concert – it was an experience.

One of the best, if not THE best show I’ve ever seen. Such a great venue- small, intimate, NO TICKETMASTER with Future Islands was just the best ❤️

Band sounded great and the vocalist was as energetic as I expected. Wish he sang seasons a little closer to the recording but other than that it was a fantastic show 👏🏽

Finally got to see them live! Great band, and venue was amazing. Wish they’d played more of the older stuff, but good show regardless! High energy and a blast overall!

Samuel T. Herring is one of the most unique lead singers you'll ever witness. The synth, bass, and drums are all on point and create such fantastic soundscapes. Would see them again and again! 🤘

Future islands where amazing but the venue was terrible, the acoustics where awful didn’t do the band any justice. £4 for a crappy bottle of carlsberg. And toilets on a different floor.

Me and my partner absolutely loved the performance laundromat and future islands! Talk about giving it 110%...the whole show was amazing. Will be catching them again when they next come to Wales xx

What a show! Sam Herring is a badass performer who was able to lift the crowd and create an inviting ambiance making everyone, even some non dancing friends, dance the whole time! I look forward to the next show 🔥

Brilliant! What a front man Samuel T Herring is the only gripe is that the venue is not as good as the Apollo or the Albert Hall

The best show Ive ever been to! Love Future Islands!! We were fortunate to see Sam helping the merchandise guy unload the tour bus. We were on the corner in downtown Austin TX about to rent the electric scooters! I immediately threw my scooter down ditched my wife and ran across the street to hang out with Sam! Then found William walking into our hotel with the bass player of Ed Schraders music beat, talked with him for a bit too! Awesome guys and can’t wait to see them again!!

Sam Herring is absolutely insane, but I was entertained from beginning to end. I’ve never seen a musician so authentic on stage. It’s as if he’s acting out a story in every song. They played hard from beginning to end, and I really loved the opening act too.

Chameleon Club: My first trip here. Drove up from Baltimore. Easy parking in the lot directly across the street. Short line to get in. The place is a hot shoebox but awesomely intimate. Good drink prices and prompt bar service. Will be back. Archives: My first time seeing her. Mesmerizing. Kishi Bashi meets Lauren Hill. Would pay to see again. Future Islands: Second time seeing them live. This was by far the more intimate venue. They blew me away. Owned the crowd, everyone was dancing. Band was tight, easy to forget how good the music is with Sam being Sam. Anyone who hasn’t seen them should immediately seek to remedy that.

Histórica primera visita de esta banda A Argentina. Los músicos que acompañan A Sam Herring siempre mantienen el groove de la canción andando, pero es el frontman quien se roba el show. La manera en la que siente y expresa las canciones se pudo notar claramente en Niceto, al tenerlo a centímetros de distancia.

Totally fun show. Future Islands is one of my favorites and their performance delivered as usual. The venue was unique and well suited. Where else can people listen to an artistic and entertaining band while standing on a 1914 spring loaded ballroom floor? Brilliant. Well worth the 3:30 drive over the Cascades from Bend.

Dream come true. My favorite band and one of the most memorable nights of my life. These guys put on the most energetic, jaw-dropping, moving performances I've ever seen and all of them, who my friends and I were able to meet after the show, were all so cordial and lovely. 💫

Can't thank Future Islands enough for hooking me up with tickets. Show sold out before I had a chance to buy any. One of the best nights I ever had.

The absolute greatest concert i have ever been to. Love these guys, love the music, and that energy!! Will see them as many times as I possibly can. Never going to forget the encore performance

FI has been my favorite since I was introduced to them by a friend. My friend shared the Letterman performance via email and I have been stranded on Future Islands ever since. Their performance last night was amazing, his voice was so pure and clear. Would wait the five hours again thru mediocre bands to see them. Well worth it!!

Really good show. I wish they would have ended with more of a show stopper though. Also I really wanted to hear "the fountain" but whatever, great show
