The boys were awesome! It was a really great experience overall. The energy of the crowd really helped make the show enjoyable with how chaotic both the fans and the band were.
The biggest complaints of the night all came from the venue. It was pouring rain when the doors were supposed to open, and they let everyone in late after we had already been standing outside with no cover and gotten completely soaked. After the very first wave they started kicking people out for moshing or going even slightly hard, which was total BS considering the kind of group this is. There were also trash cans and wet floor signs left in the middle of the crowd that people kept getting pushed into. Definitely not the right kind of venue for a band of this nature.

Amazing show, absolutely surreal and thrilling. Death Grips brought an awesome energy, great live sound and a great crowd. The Orlando crowd were fun and rowdy but respectful! The venue was good but the security kept trying to break up the organised and tame moshing. It was annoying but ultimately harmless and no one got thrown out.

My third time seeing them (after Asheville and Raleigh) and definitely the best one yet! The fans in ATL just hit different so even standing in line was fun. Shouts out to anyone who let my little Sailor Scout friend and I move up in the crowd since she's super short and couldn't see shit.
The best part was the crowd in the venue - DG understandably inspired people to get pretty rowdy. They could have been pushy dickheads (looking at you, Asheville) but instead it was very mosh pit-lite. All jumping, dancing, pushing, and moving together without completely knocking you down or trying to actually hurt you. I can't speak for the pit itself since I was on the outskirts of it, but everyone around me hit that sweet spot for me. I hate when fans are just kind of standing still and nodding along. If they bring the energy while being respectful, it really translates directly into a good time for everyone.
And - it goes without saying - the boys themselves were great. They might not have been as wild as they were back when they were touring for like two albums, but they really tore their way through an insane setlist with little to no breathing time between songs. MC Ride actually hypnotized me and now I am possessed by a malignant spirit.

Ride gave his all. Very expressive poet. A lot of people don’t understand his work and the pain it takes to pump it out as frantically yet vivid as him. Most ppl are only at the very beginning of understanding, and to them I say…. God bless you.
Asheville, NC@Rabbit Rabbit
It was just the 3 dudes and that red light for close to an hour and a half, fucking killing it🤘 The guy on samples was playing guitar, which i think is unusual for them live but it was awesome. Drums annihilated the crowd. MC Ride brought it. Great night . COME UP AND GET ME
Pittsburgh, PA@Stage AE
Death grips are by far the best band i've ever seen live. The sheer energy of the band and crowd just make for an unforgettable and amazing experience. Only thing i would say is, if you don't like intense crowds, go towards the back as i am literally covered in bruises...best night of my life hehe

Da Maifeld Derby war ganz angenehm. Die Atmosphäre war schön, alle waren cool drauf und hatten nen Riesen Lächeln auf dem Gesicht und die Menschen kamen aus allen möglichen Gruppierungen. Hat auch Spaß gemacht ein paar neue Bands kennen zu lernen aber so richtig angefangen hat der Abend erst mit Death Grips. Die Stimmung hat sich radikal geändert. Plötzlich werden die Hallen voll, von irgendwoher verdoppeln sich die Besucher und gehen bei dem 50min Auftritt richtig ab. Davor wurde mir schon die Angst über die Band geäußert und während dem Auftritt und nach dem Auftritt lies die nicht nach. Danach sah ich Leute mit weitaufgerissenen Augen die umher irrten wie Alsheimer Patienten, nass geschwitzt mit zerrissenen z Shirts, von allen Ecken nur wie geil war das denn. Nur MC Ride hatte nach dem Auftritt kein Bock mehr Zack Hill hat sich noch feiern lassen war dann aber genauso schnell wieder weg. Was eine Erfahrung, ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Nur von der Deutschen Bahn die mich zwei Stunden später nach Stuttgart gebracht hat und dann auch nicht weiter nach Nürtingen. Nächstes mal fahr ich mit dem Auto.

I was a little salty they didn’t let us go up past the back area. There were way less people in attendance than the Warlord Leather Tour with Earl, Alc, Action Bronson and Boldy James. 30 mins in I realized that the ticket didn’t mention a clause about our eardrums being compensated for blowing so I enjoyed my ears caving in where I was at.
San Francisco, CA@The Warfield
being there was like having a mental orgasm, and then continueing to stroke the sensation until you had to pass out. the experience was amazing and I will definitely be trying to go to more shows.

The actually event was great, the music was great, and some friends were made… however, my only complain was the entire crowd bum-rushing the front-stage to the point my boyfriend (who was the reason we went) was having a rough time bc he was more focused on protecting me than the concert… people were very rude about that. Other than that it was great
San Diego, CA@The Observatory North Park
Casual fan here. I thought the show was fine but a little overpriced for what it was. The show itself was a lot of fun and I really liked the vibe, but I was a little disappointed by the music quality. Death Grips already has a little bit of a muffled sound and so it sounded a lot more muffled than usual. This was true for a lot of the beats and especially his voice, I couldn't make out any lyrics. I wasn't able to recognize a lot of the songs unless the beat was electronic-sounding or a memorable hook.
I probably wouldn't go again for the same price but if I was a hardcore fan or the concert was cheaper I would see them again.
Seattle, WA@Showbox SoDo
The performance was amazing, Death Grips brought it. They hit every major song I wanted to hear and sounded amazing. The energy was absolutely fantastic. The only thing within their control that was messed up was that they had nowhere near enough merch - literally everything sold out after about 1/3rd of people hit up the stand.
The venue was a mess though. Time for doors on ticket was totally wrong - showed up at 7:45 and didn't get in until 9:45 because doors didn't open until after 9 (when the show was supposed to start?) Band wasn't on stage until 11PM because they wanted to wait for at least 80% of the crowd to be inside. This was largely because there wasn't enough staff checking IDs and patting people down.
Security kinda fell short too. There was a dude near me clearly nodding, he kept falling over and genuinely seemed a risk to himself and security glanced at him once or twice but just left him leaned up against the wall basically half-dead.
Overall would absolutely show up again because Death Grips killed it, but not sure I'll be jumping on events at Harbour Event Centre again unless I hear they've got their shit together.
Vancouver, BC@Harbour Event Centre
That shit was fucking killer, absolutely well done. No bullshit. No opener, one hour set, no encore. That's what they said it would be and that's exactly what it was. Went on exactly at eight, left the stage exactly at nine and they went hard as fuck without stopping for that one hour they performed.
Tulsa, OK@Cain's Ballroom
Wow. Some of the most fun I've ever had. They didn't say a single word or take any breaks, just plowed through song after song. And yet, the energy was incredible; they put on a great show. I'm still in a bit of a daze. It was so much fun I haven't even hit that Post Concert Depression yet! I will see them again when they're back in town :)
Los Angeles, CA@Hollywood Palladium
A M A Z I N G!!! I was at the barrier and im covered in bruises, not in a bad way though. Being pushed and shoved is all part of the vibe in there. Could hear Stefan very well. instrumentals, not as good. Still quite an exciting show, my favorite of all I’ve been to so far!
New York, NY@Terminal 5
The next day I woke up with my neck sore from all the head banging, my self esteem really high, and bruises in places I didn't know could get bruises. 10/10, would see Death Grips again.
Tempe, AZ@Marquee Theatre
I've seen Death Grips before without Flatlander. They were pretty great. This time around in a bigger venue, full line-up, and a horde of passionate fans; they were a force of nature. Their set, perfect. Their sound, impeccable and massive. Hill a machine, Flatlander flawlessly polished, MC Ride a true rock vocalist. This band is definitely keeping music raw, innovate, alive and well.
