The Dreadnoughts

You get what you paid for, one of the greatest folk punk bands out there... and the lead vocalist keeps calling everyone cockehad and shithead. Also the crowd did whatever the fuck this is during one of their songs [see image attached].

Amazing brilliant , met the band but forgot to beg them to play " dear old stan" I'm a huge Stan Rogers fan. Please come back soon, to Devon if you can. You lovely guys made this westcountry maid very happy. See you again " d'rectly" xx

The best show I have ever been to and I will go again. You guys are amazing

Awesome time, love the new music and the polka pit, and the fact that the Ohio State buckeyes game was playing during the concert was strangely epic! This is only the seventh time I’ve seen you guys in concert and it’s awesome every time!

Just an amazing show, I hope they do this every year going forward. All three bands kicked ass, but the Dreadnoughts brought the house down. It's 2025 and you have a room full of hundreds of people dancing in a polka train. Beautiful. Polka Never Dies at midnight, Leave Her Johnny as the encore. It was really just an insane amount of fun, there's no other way to put it. Outstanding musicianship on display of course, but also, it was a proper PARTY. Getting all the bands on stage for Polka Never Dies and Leave Her Johnny was like a dream come true. Winzige Hosen has covered Polka Never Dies, so getting to see them and Captain Tom actually play it WITH the Dreadnoughts was awesome. I'll put it this way: my 70 year old aunt who introduced me to the Pogues when I was a kid (which led to the Dreadnoughts when I got to college) drove 3 hours to meet me for the show. She got in the polka train...six weeks after a double knee replacement (and after we had a few rounds). THAT'S what dance music is. Not music that's called "dance music" because it has a beat, but music that MAKES you get up and dance because it's just too fun not to.

Going in, I was familiar with the Dreadnoughts’ music but had no preconceived notion of what a live show of theirs would bring. Based on their music, I was expecting a high energy scene, but this show blew me away! Easily the best value live rock performance I’ve been to in years-maybe ever. What other band can feature crowd-surfing / beer fetching, circle mosh pits, a polka train out into the street DURING the show, and full-throated a capella shanties with the audience ???!! The Dreadnoughts kick it. Go see them. Polka never dies!

Just an awesome show!! Brought a more casual fan with me and he enjoyed the music so much he had to get a Joli Rouge T-shirt before the night was over! When you can get an entire room doing a polka train in 2024 in New Jersey, you're doing something right. These guys always put on a fantastic show. No frills, no filler, just musicians kicking ass. I've been a fan for a while and there's nothing like hearing the opening riffs to Antarctica or Cider Road to get your blood pumping. Solid mix of folk-punk and a capella sea (or river) shanties, plus a surprise song as the encore that I'm sincerely hoping makes it onto the next album. I won't spoil it for anyone else going to shows on their tour. Always a good time, will absolutely be seeing them again for any show that's within a 2 hour drive.

Excellent venue, fantastic energy. Everyone put on a spectacular show and I even found two new bands to adore. I've seen the Dreadnoughts before and will undoubtedly see them again. I'll have to watch Kung Fu Necktie for any future shows I like

This was the best show I have ever been to and I plan on going to see them again

2nd time seeing the Dreadnoughts, absolutely amazing. Nicky Rickshaw and the Pourmen were also excellent. The venue was great, the food was really good and the top floor of the church had TONS of space to eat while you watched the show down stairs on a projector. 10/10 would drive 5 hours to see again.

Kickass show! Venue had great food but was much too strict. Who has a strict 9PM cut off?

The Dreadnoughts and Captain Tom and the Hooligans both put on an amazing show in a great venue. Family friendly, encouraging the small cohort of kids to participate and even come on stage for one song. Fantastic energy. If you like their recordings you will LOVE THEM live.

Best ever! Interesting venue that worked. Kids on stage was great. Warm up band was fantastic. Great time and can’t wait for Columbus!

The Dreadnoughts were awesome, 5 stars. The lead of the "headliner" band, bridge city sinners was in the hospital or something? I don't know, I was standing in line for the bar during the announcement. Basically the remaining band members came on the stage one at a time over an unremarkable set of several songs, which just proceeded to make the entire crowd's revved-up energy from the Dreadnoughts fizzle out completely. Everybody around me was grumbling "why don't they just bring the Dreadnoughts back out?" They barely salvaged any of their set by getting their first opener back out to do two the Devil Makes Three staples at the very end of the night.

The Dreadnoughts were so good! I wish the whole night would've been them! Can't wait to see them again in Vancouver BC in March

Carry me home was great. Venue was as expected. The dreadnoughts, are one of my favorite bands, this is the first time I saw them, Great energy, and most of the popular songs were played. However, not much from the last two albums, especially Green Willow. Obviously, we shepherds are the best of men. By the way, King Louie was awesome!!

Fucking brilliant. Super fun gig, definitely gonna see them again if I have a chance

Was a magical fucking night! Dreadnoughts always put on a great performance! Rambunctious music with a crowd that just wont let up! Skanking, mosh pits, sea shanties and of course; POLKA!!!

Off all the times I've seen Dreadnought live, this was probably the best one.

Fucking amazing! Didn't disappoint! I just wish we got supersoaked with cider !!!!
