AMAZING! This band are so beautiful in what they do, their interaction with the crowd and kind messages. Seen them 4 times now and will see them every time they come to the UK without a doubt ❤️

This concert was AMAZING!! The band was so incredibly entertaining and Joel spent more time in the crowd singing than he did on stage! It was one of the most fun concerts I have ever been to and I can’t wait to see them again!

Security was wack. I got pulled off the crowed during wax poetic -capstan and told “not to stage dive” but I never stepped foot on stage. Two security guards also were blocking people from moshing and dancing. Other than over protective security crashing vibes. Solid f**king show. Being as an Ocean killed it as always. And Joel told me he loved me haha.

Wie immer musikalisch durch die decke, ich liebe diese band!
Diesmal nicht so gefallen hat mir, dass der sänger keinen einzigen Song komplett auf der bühne stande sondern nur in der fanmenge war.
Grundsetzlich habe ich da nichts gegen, aber ab einem punkt zur mitte des konzertes ging es bei den fans nurnoch um den sänger und die anderen 4 auf der Bühne waren deko, und das finde ich traurig denn gitarristen, drummer und Bassisten genau wie auch keyboarder sind teil der gruppe und sollten von den fans genau so ihre aufmerksamkeit bekommen können. Sehr schade.
Trotzdem 5 sterne weil musikalisch toptoptop.

It was great because it wasn’t some massive gig. All three bands performed really well and BAAO’s lead singer was just really getting involved in the crowd

Being as an Ocean was badass! I would really recommend going to one of their shows they know what theyre doing and the crowd goes insane!!

First time seeing them. The lead singer used the entire venue as his stage. Incredible performance. Enter Shikari was fantastic, as usual, this being my 4th time seeing them. This time, it was special, the 10 year anniversary of their debut album "Take To The Skies", which came out in 2007. I was 20 years old when I first purchased the album. Now, 30, it was a monumental night to witness one of my favorite albums played in full after all these years and changes in my life. Truly a night I'll never forget.

Being As An Ocean is incredible live. I've been to a bunch go shows and seen a lot of bands, and BAAO had hands down one of the best sets I've ever seen. I'm a pretty big fan but they exceeded all expectations. Joel Q is such a passionate frontman, and more than a couple times he hopped off stage to interact not only with the front row, but to mingle with the the rest of the crowd, too. Overall there was a really cool atmosphere and some powerful vibes. I highly recommend seeing them if you get the chance!
Baltimore, MD@Rams Head Live
All the bands were so amazing, they all put on an amazing performance. The mic cut out sometimes but that's because the singer was going ham with the crowd. El Paso is always a good time, please would all the bands come back soon. :* :)
El Paso, TX@Trucky Falls
These boys were amazing! One of the best shows I've ever been to....ever. They involved every single person in the room, the opening acts; Better Half, Belle Haven, Void Of Vision & Saviour were equally as outstanding and did an insane job of warming everybody up. 10/10 for sure!
Carlton, Australia@Arrow on Swanston
10/10 as always. Out of the 7 times I've seen them, being as an ocean has never failed to put on an amazing show (:
Seattle, WA@El Corazon

Seattle, WA@El Corazon
It was amazing. He went into the crowd numerous times and you can see just how deep the lyrics run and how humble he is.
Sacramento, CA@Ace of Spades
every band member I met last night was such a sweetheart. sucks that watg couldn't play their regular stuff but they sounded amazing acoustic anyways
Yuma, AZ@Jefe's Venue
It was one of the best shows I been to in a while. Sucks people didn't stay around for being as an ocean.
Memphis, TN@Hi Tone Cafe
AMAZING! I met nearly every band member, got on stage and jumped off! it was such a perfect concert. much better than all those super huge ones.. except I think I broke my nose ?? but still, perfect concert.
Forth Worth, TX@Tomcats West
What an incredible performance. Less of the traditional "show" and more of an emotional connection with the band and the others around you. Truly a unique experience that I won't be forgetting.
Cleveland, OH@Grog Shop
No disappointment when I saw them. Joel was the nicest human being I've ever had the pleasure of talking to. Great, great performance. You could feel their passion with every word. Loved it and love them.
Durham, NC@MOTOROCO MUSIC HALL
they were so perfect. I met joel and nearly cried. hes so sweet and perfect. the venue wasnt crowded so I was able to see the entire time!
Seattle, WA@Studio Seven
Really good performance. Sons of Herman Hall has the worst sound ever though. Hopefully it doesn't leave BAAO with a bad taste of Dallas in their mouth :/
