Had a blast bringing friends to see them. It was awesome they had Lauren Babic with them too. While I wish she had more time, it is great to so how far she has come a long way and only gotten better since I last saw her four years ago. But the entire Scripted tour was a blast.

So fun! There’s a love between the band and the Icon Army that I’ve never seen anywhere else. The show was full of energy, fan participation and a celebration of their first album- I can’t believe it’s been 15 years! They brought Lauren Babic out for A Girl Is Like A Piece Of Gum for the first time and it was awesome! I will support this band as long as I live. “DIY til we die, Icon Army on the loose!”

Absolutely fantastic night. Icon for Hire! They so dope! Ariel is absolutely a force and it was just so surreal being in her presence! She is a beacon! Would love to see them again! And the opening acts, Reddstar and Concrete Castles were also incredible. I've found some new artists to add to my music rotation! Cheers!!!! Awesome night! Thank you, ICON FOR HIRE!!!!

I've been a long time fan since 2012, and I finally got to see them live and take my daughter to her first show ever! It was amazing! Concrete Castles and Dancing With Ghosts were awesome as well. Ariel and Shawn were so incredibly sweet and I could not have asked for a better night 💜

It was more than a pleasure; it was an honor to witness the display of this talented band. All of them did a great job but Ariel Bloomer has shown why she should be up there with the best. Great songs, great performance, absolute control and a dear respect for her fanbase. I went with my daughter to her first rock concert, and it was a blast.

They put on one hell of a show! Everyone from the bands to the crew are so kind and friendly. I had VIP tickets and the money is so well spent! I have been listening to Icon For Hire since I was in 3rd grade, I was 12 the first time I saw them, and now I'm almost 20. Icon For Hire is amazing!

1st time seeing Icon For Hire! Absolutely Fierce. Vocals crisp, riffs solid, drum solo powerful. Ariel was gracious when I handed her a play on words I wrote with titles of their popular songs. Took 16 year niece to 1st concert, she loved it. Thank you to Icon For Hire and the Winchester! Keep up the strive for equality and dreams! Much Respect❤💣💥Pretty much non stop show. Awesome😎

If I could hit rewind and relive this event all over again I would as this was easily one of the most fun and energetic concerts I've ever attended. Got to meet the dynamic duo of Icon for Hire Ariel and Shawn as they were so friendly and welcoming to all their fans. The bands opening of FeelGood, Wyldra and Hooked like Helen each continue to set the bar higher and higher and I became a fan of all 3 of them. The main event was the icing on the cake of awesomeness as they show better live than on CD. I look forward to their next performance in Des Moines

I haven't been to a lot of concerts but this one was by far the best. I LOVE Icon For Hire. I was lucky enough to get V.I.P tickets to meet Ariel and Shawn and they are amazing people. Not because they are famous but because they way they are and the way they interact with the fans. Well worth the money and Hopefully I will have the opportunity to see them again.

Never heard of hooked like Helen before last night. I was pleasantly surprised. They were awesome. Would definitely see them again! I've listened to icon for a few years. In not usually a fan of rapping but she's mixed more rock with it and it works. That and she has amazing stage presence! Honestly even if I didn't like her music I'd go to see them just for that. Can't wait to see how these bands move forward!

Icon for Hire never disappoints. Every show they do is high energy and full of great music. Ariel and Shawn are incredible performers and really make the crowd feel welcome in the Icon Army. The venue was the perfect size and had great sound quality. Will definitely be seeing shows there again, and, of course, cannot wait for the next time Icon is in town!

Holy s**t the concert was lit and one i'll never forget. There were so many twist and turns between all the performers (especially the legendary Sumo Cyco (Skye) , Awake at Last (Vincent) and Last, Icon for Hire ( Ariel) collab was jaw dropping . I was a VIP Icon for hire VIP Tour bus & Ariel and Shawn were so chill but it was over so quick. Penrose opened and rocked it but if they joined in it would have been epic. At the end of it i talked with Skye for a bit she was so nice and gave me insight on the bonds and developed you can achieve by traveling with different bands. There were some funny unrehearsed moments that made it unique. If they come back to SLC for a Dismantled tour or whatnot I definitely will come again.

Icon for Hire always puts on a loud, energetic show and this one was no different! They played a very diverse set featuring a nice mix from basically every album including their latest single they just released. The venue itself is pretty small, so if you want to be up front get there early. My only complaint about the show is actually more on the venue. Firstly there was 2 shows that night (this is a double venue) and no one knew where we were supposed to go for our show & vip started late. Granted we were there at 5pm for the VIP, but the show didn’t start till 8pm (on a Sunday). There were two opening acts (Sumo Cyco and Awake at Last) which weren’t bad but having two kids with me and it being a work day tomorrow I was antsy for the headliner. My daughter ended up having to go sit down (a few scattered tables in the back of the room - again get there fast!) mid-Icon because her feet hurt from standing almost 5 hours. Also the acoustics on the second band were not optimal - we were front row and couldn’t hear the vocals of Awake at Last. Venue itself is kinda “eh”, but within walking distance of parking garages and restaurants.

My first ever Icon For Hire show! I was pretty close up and Shawn was trying to give me his guitar pick but I didn't know what was happening and then he just dropped it, I still got it anyway though! It was a lot of fun, I'm so happy that I went! 😁 Thanks for coming down to Albuquerque, guys! 💓

It was my first time seeing Icon For Hire, been a fan for years but could never catch a show. So I was excited to finally see then. They didn't disappoint. Shawn came out and explained the Ariel lost her voice the previous day due to the cold. Even with that they still killed their set. Shawn did more singing and they let us fans do a lot as well. I've always heard about how they connect with their fans and now I have seen it first hand. They really get the crowd involved and love their fans. They even brought up 4 women to help sing "Now You Know". I left feeling like I was part of the show that night. I highly recommend seeing them live. They are one of the bands/artists that their live and studio are two different things. All their songs/albums are great but live they are on another level.

Icon For Hire stoke the show and was amazing. I hope to see them do a all female song with In This Moment, Halestorm, New Years Day and/or with The Pretty Reckless; that would be very empowering for women that deserve to be seen as equals in the music industry. Plus the girls on that went on stage I commend them and if any of them desire to be musicians, Ariel is one of many great icons/ role models to look up to. Look forward to seeing you next year. I like the music so much I was determined to make it whether I broke my fever or not, luckily I was good enough to drive but huge headaches, but still loved the show... Peace love and soul to the music.

It's my first time seeing Icon For Hire it's amazing and absolutely unforgettable. I love every minute of it during the show the songs are amazing it keeps me going but my favorite moment is when I get to sing with Ariel on stage and with the other girls during Now You Know. Ariel is very interactive with the audience and her friend Shawn is awesome! What an amazing night I can't wait to see them again soon Come back to Pittsburgh again someday!

Was one of the best shows I went to. I met some really nice fans who I hope to see at future shows and the opening band was so amazing! The venue was so small, and I kind of liked that. Was very close to the stage and it was awesome! Got some really great shots of Ariel.
