Ben Howard

second time seeing Ben and the band live - IFWWW was a pivotal album for me when I was younger so I absolutely had go. Happy and somewhat sad to I suppose that we've come along way - Ben's grown and changed as artist considerably and I am not the same either anymore. That aside the show was magical and I am grateful beyond compare to have made this beautiful memory! I didn't even bother with the food and beverage options due to the price point but the acoustics and sound engineering really did the brilliant musicianship Ben has to offer justice, the walls of sound where ridiculous in the best of ways, yet also very intimate and vulnerable at times.

Wonderful concert, great artists on the stage, beautiful music. It was a pleasure to listen to this concert. However the acoustic of afas was not the greatest, it sounds like a metal box where sound is multiplied and way too loud. It was painful. Luckily I had earplugs, but people near me were covering their ears with hands. Really bad acoustic unfortunately. For the price that we pay it is not ok to be in pain from noise. Regardless I enjoyed the concert very much.

Visually, atmospherically and audibly amazing. He had 2 technical problems such as a guitar malfunction and a feedback problem that him and his band were so talented that they managed to make it sound like it was part of the performance. Such a perfect tribute to his second album and my personal favourite of his. The performance was like a dream scoped landscape. His support act, Daisy Rickman, paved such a perfect way into Ben’s music. She was beautiful.

The music was good, but the experience was overall a bit disappointing. The show was said to start at 7pm on the online, so we arrived around 6h30 hoping to pick up our tickets and get a drink inside before the show. After 45min waiting in the cold, the doors of the venue opened at 7h15, and then we waited nearly another 2h as the show only started at 9pm with the opening act. Billie Marten did a beautiful job opening. Ben Howard finally came on around 9h30. It was cool to see him live and he has a great voice, but the quality of the sound was quite bad in my opinion. The voice and guitar were so aggressive that I regretted not bringing earplugs. A shame given I'm sure he sounds great with more acoustic sound!

Ben Howard is such a lovely, shy, funny and introverted artist. I’ve been a fan of him for the past almost 10 years when I first heard through the song Only Love. Last year I was ready for his October concert and I got so sad when I realised he had to cancel it due to personal reasons. I’m glad he decided to retake his US tour and I finally got to see him live. I would go see every single time he is back in Boston. Ben, your love performance is and will always be amazing. I’m glad I got to see you so close. I was literally right in front of you and got so many videos and pictures of you performing. Your voice is just like on your records. 🫶🏽

There is no arguing that Ben is an incredibly talented individual and he puts on a great show, but I was super disappointed that not a single one of the songs I was hoping he’d play, were played. There was only one song that some of the crowd sang along to, but he played none of his super popular songs. I get that it’s his gig and he can play whatever he liked, but if I’d know the set list beforehand, I would have skipped this one 😔

This performance was tremendising good with great surprises the way the music has developt. The band played fearlessly and enjoying every note. My only concern, wich I wonder if other people, also in other concerts, is the intensity of the sound. The music will increase the quality of it by playing is with less dB’s. Why is the box with hearing protection empty……? Ben Howard and his music catches me every single time.

His new music was really cool, we all enjoyed the new sounds that he made and profusely preferred the live sound rather than the studio release of the two songs that had been. Slightly unfortunate he only played one of his old songs but understood why he wouldn't want to. Very good gig overall.

Ben Howard is one in a million! One of the very few musicians out there whose sound on stage mirrors that of what you buy in an album, it's like listening to him on your stereo at home but having him physically in front of you! Truly magical! His voice transports you to another world, one where it's just you and his music, all else falls away and you can focus on thorough enjoyment of his sound! Talented beyond this world!

Spine tingling and mesmerising: the band built atmospheres on atmospheres. Ben channeling deep pain and anguish through his guitar, voice and words. Sometimes quite harrowing, hair-raising and yes there were tears. A priveledge to hear his new work. Lovely to see India there too. 💙💙

One of the best shows I've ever been to. I felt like I witnessed something truly special and memorable. It was my first time seeing Ben live and it was worth the wait. The passion and connection to the music really showed through in the performance. I can't wait for next time!! 💜

Big disappointment as an American as the entire concert focused on his new album. And not just that, it was very conceptual as well, not a party atmosphere. American fans only heard of him after he toured his first album, Every Kingdom, and made the documentary, From Austin to Boston, so this was the first chance to see him ever. Unfortunately, he only focused on the new music, and did no songs from Every Kingdom songs at all. That's not what I was hoping for and I'm sure there were others disappointed as well.

The Ben Howard concert should have been billed as the "whatever his new album name is" Experience. At least that way people would be known what they were in for, which was an entire concert focused on his new album. But not just focused on it, it was very conceptual as well, not a party atmosphere. Maybe if the concert had been seated and not standing, general admission, one might enjoy it more. I saw him do this at a festival in Belgium over the summer. And while this may have gone over with European fans, American fans only heard of him after he toured his first album, Every Kingdom, and made the documentary, From Austin to Boston, and this was the first chance to see him ever. However, even if you want to focus on the new music, the least he could have done was Every Kingdom songs for the encore. That's what I was hoping would be different from the festival. But somehow he managed to find 15 more minutes from the new album. How long is this album anyway??? Big turnoff to American fans as you can see from reviews from all the US shows.

I really love the music Ben Howard and his band produce. It is beautiful. He is in my top 3 favourite artists. I have been excited for this show since I bought the tickets when it was announced. Although I wasn't feeling particularly well, I decided to go anyway. Ben also wasn't feeling well though. Didn't necessarily seem like he was sick, just maybe had a lot weighing on his mind. He acknowledged that from the stage. His engery was low. He tried his hardest in the state he was in. I think we at times forget that musicians are still humans and just because they're on tour doesn't mean everything is peachy the whole time. There are good times and bad. I still enjoyed myself, but I'm wishing to see him again when he's better.

Wish h played more singe from Every Kingdom and I forget where we where. I totally get that the point is to promote the new music but I was disappointed. I would not see Ben in concert again unless he was going to play all of his top hits

I couldn’t have thought of a more perfect dream concert. I always said that I’d do whatever it takes if I could see Ben play at Red Rocks someday, and this concert was incredible. The whole band was so in tune with the vibe, and they weren’t there to create perfection; they wanted the audience to feel the music as they do— and it absolutely worked. The venue was so fitting to Ben’s new album, and I had the time of my life
