IT WAS AWESOME!!!! IDKHOW HAD AMAZING STAGE PRESENCE I COULD FEEL THE MUSIC IN MY BONES AND THE AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION WAS SUPER GOOD AND THEY PLAYED ALL THE SONGS I WANTED AND IT WAS GREAT!!!
In terms of the venue, it was fine but you definitely wanna get there earlier because the balcony is close enough to the ground that if you are under it, it will likely obstruct your vision a bit. There are also a bunch of pillars that if you get behind them you can't see center stage which was annoying. Also the merch table was all the way on the other side of the venue from the door and seemed like too much hassle to get to. BUT IDK HOW WAS GO GOOD THAT DESPITE THAT I GIVE 5 STARS!!!

i got vip tix and dallon sat and chatted with us during the q&a and was committed to actually getting to know us. he asked me where i was from (an hour away from the venue) and then how the weather was and when i said it was gonna be 24 degrees that night he was immediately concerned if i had an appropriate coat. he answered both my questions with very in depth stories and long explanations. he was so kind and thoughtful in fact, that the band waited until every guest was inside the building and settled before starting the show. even if that meant starting 45 minutes late. they made sure everyone was warm and safe. the band is one of my favorites of all time. every performance they put on is a straight-up religious experience. the crowd interactions are amazing and funny, the music is fantastic, and the energy clears most big names. iDKHOW should be your favorite band, go see them ASAP!!!

the BEST concert I’ve ever been to by far. Phantom Planet was an amazing opener, and they’re really nice too. (I got pictures with them at the meet n greet after the show!) I screamed my lungs out the whole time and took so many videos that my phone ran out of storage. The set list was amazing too, a little sad I didn’t hear Sunnyside but I think I can die happy having heard Absinthe and Mx. Sinister live. dallon ily this tour was great!

IDKHow was amazing! Dallon definitely enjoys what he does. I have to give a huge thank you to the Crocodile. We were there with a friend for his first concert. Hes VERY hard of hearing and wears hearing aids and has Marshall syndrome. He took out his aids and popped in some ear plugs and he still struggled saying that the noise in the venue was painful for him and he was getting sensory overload with the lights and heat so we stepped outside the doors interior doors. Staff quickly came up to use to check on him and brought him a water and let us take a chair to sit OUTSIDE the main doors to get the cool outside air. They were all so kind and kept periodically checking on us. Couldn't have asked for kinder staff and you all are very appreciated!
I cant wait for the next concert....him not so much, but now we know. haha.

It was an EXCELLENT SHOW!! For the first (and hopefully not last time) I have seen IDKHow in concert form, it was unbelievable. Dallon Weekes is such an amazing singer, and he shows this by just singing his heart out each song, riling up the crowd, he said Salt Lake City and every cheered each time! My dad said he got emotional during the encore which is why it took so long so props to him for being awesome and doing the tour!! Same to the crew he brought with him, your names are escaping me, but I am happy to have seen you guys bring his music to greater life! The opening band ALEXSUCKS was also really cool! I walked by the titular Alex while he was on his smoke break, and I just knew the lead was chill. I love their style as well, so check them out too!! They were a little lesser on the crowd pleasing, but that's on purpose. They got to jump in on "Nobody Likes the Opening Band" near the end of the show. And trust me, we loved the opening band. All around, I'd love to see IDKHow live again because the music is good, the lead is good, and their choice in opening band is good!!

I saw IDK HOW at Brighton Music Hall earlier this year (March 2024) and had to see them again for their 2nd round of touring. The show itself is always amazing. But, the crowd isn’t always the best. My only wish is for the people and the environment to feel more welcoming. I very much love this band and have no complaints about them but, the fans aren’t the most welcoming crowd.

An unbelievable show. This band, especially their Razzmatazz album, has unlocked a different side of me that I didn't know existed. I was so excited when Clusterhug started playing, as it is by far one of my favorites. Dallon's vocals never fail to impress; his range is insane. If you ever get the chance to see this band, jump on it. The 2 1/2 hour drive there and back were worth every second to get this experience.

Probably the best night of my life by far! My partner & I both managed to have VIP & their question got answered with as hilarious of a response as we could've expected. The soundcheck was Sugar Pills & Satanic Panic, if anyone's curious (both are favs of mine, so needless to say I lost my mind when it happened. lol). My mom took us there since neither of us have a drivers lisence yet & I played the pre/post show playlist RELIGIOUSLY whenever possible, but my mom & partner both wanted different music on the way since we're from Chillicothe & the drive is fairly long to get to the venue (which I LOVED seeing in person since I'd never gone to any concerts properly prior to this. If anyone hasn't been there, I highly recommend it. Very kind & friendly staff, beautiful decor, & water at the bar for my fellow underaged concert goers.) With the VIP tickets we got about 4 rows or so away from the stage at most, which only made it better of an experience. I got acknowledged during NLTOB & I'm NEVER getting over that fact (for anyone else who was there, I said "Take your time, buddy!" during the dramatic pause at the end & Dallon responded with a "I WILL take my time" in that signature stage-snarky tone he uses, because why wouldn't he?). I could go into more detail about my experience that night, but that's an essay I'd rather spare someone of reading on here. lol (The only thing I'd change would be having the opportunity to talk to Dallon face-to-face after the show, however my mom & partner were both understandably tuckered out by the end.)

The venue itself was probably my favorite I've been to, the restaurant in the entrance was cozy and the drink selections were excellent! I didn't once feel crowded out in front of the stage.
Though I'm sure a lot of that has to do with the wonderful audience. IDK How fans are genuinely such good people, respectful and excited and cooperative.
IDK How is my favorite artist, and seeing Dallon having fun and interacting with the audience from on stage further cements that for me! Amazing music and a fun person who seems genuinely happy to be around fans.
Amazing experience, would love to come here again!

As always, I love seeing IDKHOW, and this time was much more enjoyable! I got to experience the VIP and Dallon is just one of those people who really care about the experience and the fans, so its refreshing to find someone who isn't just about the money, but about delivering an amazing show and making sure his fans enjoy it.
And this time I had a spot against the barricade, it was amazing to see the show so close this time!

honestly the best concert I've ever been to. the way dallon weekes absolutely commands the audience is masterful, I've never seen an artist with such good stage presence . the venue could have been better! there was like 600 people all crammed into a pretty small venue, which made the whole place really really hot. it was actually so hot in there that a girl in front of me fainted and the concert had to be stopped to make sure she was okay.

We were having a good time, it's true a wonderfully good time....
My daughter missed them last time they came so she has been waiting for years to see IDKHOW and needless to say they did not disappoint! It was so great to be in a cozy venue watching the guys perform live. They sang some of our favorites and even gave of us some treats from the past. These guys are so talented and it was truly a pleasure to sing , dance, yell and cheer for the guys.
And that opening band Superet was great....
Hey Houston liked the opening band .....

I had a great time. Drove 6+ hours up north just to see these guys. Only a few small qualms.
1 - the sound mixing for both this band and their opener was off. The vocals were very quiet compared to the drums and guitar. Hard to hear them over the crowd.
2 - the lighting made it hard to even see the performer's faces, and especially to take any pictures or videos
3 - the band only played for about 75 minutes...was really hoping for more of the cataloge.
Overall, a great time and they did a great job. I'd absolutely see them again.

i cannot get over the show!! they’re so incredibly and genuinely talented that im constantly blown away by them. it was undoubtedly one of the most fun and energetic shows I have ever been to. I saw them yesterday and I spent all day today doing nothing but rewatching my videos. looking forward to seeing them again asap hopefully when they release new music :) the venue was pretty small and the staff was helpful!! indescribable experience overall!

Absolutely INSANE.
Typically I’d leave a review just at that, but there was a lot of negativity in the crowd and on Twitter that I wanted to address. Long story short: idk was opening for twenty one pilots and a lot of clikkies thought idk took too long. They started at 7:30 and ended around 8:30 the pilots didn’t come out until 9:00. Its customary for most concerts to have a schedule like this, but that didn’t stop top fans from having full blown conversations and tweeting (during their set!!) about how much they didn’t like idk how. I’d never seen such disrespect for an opening band, but that being said I’ve never been to a show where I was actually into the opening band so maybe backlash like this is typical and I just never hear about it because I’m not in the know on those other bands. Anyways, it really bummed me out to see since they did such a good job last night. Dallon sang a cover of Beck’s Debra and it was mind blowing! He hit every last one of those notes and it was flawless, so I don’t know how anyone could possibly not enjoy that or at least be impressed even if you don’t know the band performing. I’m gonna be honest, I’m biased since the only reason I even went to the concert is to see idk. I saw the tickets go on sale because I got a notification from this app that idk was performing and then when I couldn’t find tickets I found out it was because I was searching for idk how when it was registered under the headliners, twenty one pilots. The show couldn’t have been more perfect for me considering idk is my absolute favorite band and top is my second fave. So maybe I’m projecting a little bit, but even taking my favoritism into account the crowd was acting out of pocket. That makes me sad since the boys really did do an amazing job!!
A plus side to the idk how fans being the minority in the crowd was that Dallon was able to interact with the few of us towards the front a lot. The other time I saw idk how was during their night heat tour (amazing show there too!) but everyone was there to see idkhow so he had more people to interact with. At this show, there were only a few of us there to see idk so he could interact with the few of us more personably if that makes sense. He would point over at me and a few other kids near me when we were singing and say stuff along the lines of “you know this song!” or just point/dance/gesture in our direction. It was an insanely cool experience. Plus they played iggy pop which I never thought I’d ever get to see live so that absolutely SENT ME.
ANYWAYS this is really long, sorry. I just wanted to put some good out into the void of the internet about this performance after seeing so much bullshittery on Twitter. Good job, my dudes. Killed it, per usual. :) hope to see you in 2020!

I literally met Dallon outside when waiting bc before the show like at 10 AM he came out and saw us there and We had been waiting from 7 AM so he appreciated that a lot. Even tho the way they let you in at the venue was kinda bad because people who got there like 30 mins before the show basically were able to get first row when people who waited outside for hours get back. (I'm the blode haired one :D)

The show was more than wonderful! Dallon and Ryan are both such great artists and entertainers and their really great to look at also!!😊 There was never a minute that we weren’t singing or laughing or clapping. It was just great fun without any bad language you have to hear with some of your bands. Such a wonderful thing to hear bands like IDK and TOP and FOB that don’t have to use bad language in their songs and at their shows. Bravo to that! And bravo to Dallon and Ryan! They are going to be the next BIG band by next year!!🥰

Despite what Dallon and Ryan's song says, I did like the opening band, Cherry Pools. I had never heard of them before, but I loved the music, and I will definitely start listening to them. I was even able to take pictures with the lead singer. Dallon and Ryan played great. I got so excited when I saw Dallon in his cape. I loved the whole show and will definitely continue to go to IDK HOW's concerts as long as they keep coming to Chicago.
