Seeing Einars amazing vocal talent once again was amazing - the band were great ! Only downside was the crowd , didn’t move hardly . I think that would disappoint me as a band . I was dancing and singing the whole way through though ❤️
Köln, Germany@Tanzbrunnen Köln
It’s pretty difficult to describe what’s like to be in a Wardruna concert. I enjoyed every second, every beat, each song. The energy and vibe is very high and pleasant. You have to be there to feel, because even though one might not understand anything, will feel everything! It was fantastic! The venue was very nice.
Utrecht, Netherlands@Tivoli Vredenburg
Never in my life have I been so moved, emotionally, physically and Spritualy by any show!! It was as though each breath, word, note was there for me! The entire show was not only a musical experience but an all-encompassing spiritual enlightenment! When Einar spoke, I truly wished he would just continue! Every word was heartfelt and meaningful! I wished the night hadn't ended! And I cannot wait for the next time we will be honored by Wardruna, I will be 1st in line for tickets!
Los Angeles, CA@Orpheum Theatre
They were so amazing. I felt like I was in the presence of my ancestors. So worth the 3 year wait. The only bleak spot was my knee (arthritis and almost bone on bone cartilage loss) was screaming the entire time. Still, I didn’t let that stop me from enjoying myself.
Mesa, AZ@Ikeda Theater
The crowd was rowdy, the smoke detectors went off halfway through the set, and the standing ovation was so long and loud that Einar had no choice but to give us a solo encore himself, lest we burn the beautiful Elsinore Theatre down for real.
In short, it was an excellent experience.
Salem, OR@Elsinore Theatre
Loved the show! This venue is usually standing only, but they set up chairs this time which is a huge improvement. There was a traffic problem so the show started late, the staff and band really pulled out all the stops to make it a memorable night and put on an amazing show. Can't wait to see Wardruna again!
Calgary, AB@MacEwan Hall Concerts
Amazing show. So much energy! The presentation was pretty simple, just music and lights with a color-changing backdrop and one or two projections onto the backdrop, but it was incredible. There were a lot of cool people there too, we were worried that for a band with a big Norse Pagan following there'd be a bunch of white supremacists there but the band is very actively anti-fascist and I didn't have any problems at all. There were a bunch of people of all genders wearing makeup and goth or Viking style clothes and the vibe was very chill. And Wardruna themselves made some antifascist statements at the end about how no culture is better than another and stuff, and the crowd went crazy for it, which was great. The music itself was intense, very loud, great use of electronic additions to traditional instruments while keeping a traditional feel. I am very impressed at the horn playing and singing, I could not hold a note that long if my life depended on it. The integration of the lights/effects and the music was great. Only real downside was the venue served alcohol and people kept walking past reeking of it. Would have also appreciated some kind of statement about avoiding flash photography and keeping your phone usage subtle as there were some flashes and some people holding up bright phone screens that interfered with my enjoyment a bit. An epilepsy warning probably would have been good too as there was some VERY intense flashing lights (which I enjoyed, but then I don't get seizures). Overall just an amazing show that I really enjoyed and so glad we drove 3 hours in the rain and across a border to get to, totally worth it.

Despite having had a ling day stranded in a snow storm the band was committed to give the audience a full on performance that didn’t disappoint. The energy and passion exuded and made the 90 mins delay we’ll worth the wait! The sound was flawless and was a true spiritual and emotional experience.
Calgary, AB@MacEwan Hall Concerts
It was my first time going to a concert of this type of music let alone this band although over the years I have listened to a bit of music of the like (that I don't specifically remember anymore) referred to by friends and I'm glad I chose to come see Wardruna because I haven't had a night that good in a very long time.
Chicago, IL@Auditorium Theatre
the venue is always great. The King theatre is spacious with plenty of room to get your bearings before the show . Wardrunna always puts on a great show. The set list lulls you into a trance of sound and visuals that when the show is over you feel you are are waking up from a massage or some other hyper sense distorting experience
Brooklyn, NY@Kings Theatre
The venue was excellent. Easy to get to and the seating was comfortable. Excellent sound and the seating allowed for everyone to see the stage very well. What a pleasure to be able to see Wardruna's concert there. The audience was respectful of the performers, the music, sound and lighting were all great. I could enjoy the music without a lot of distraction. Excellent music, excellent performers and music that touches the inner self.

Awesomeness :)

Awesome evening. Stunning venue. Great sound (mayhaps somewhat trebley at times). Brilliant choice for the warm up artist (Your cello rocks, Jo! Best sober trip I ever had...).
Wardruna exceeded my expectations, played songs from all albums and graced us with double encore. I say, Thank you for the music!
Cannot wait for next time...
Birmingham, United Kingdom@Symphony Hall
Wardruna were amazing, absolutely faultless in their uniquely special way. However I was really disappointed to not be physically able to see the unique instruments being played, ir even most of the performers. They were in the dark the whole time. Wardruna features instruments barely ever seen in the world today, moraharpa, tagelharpa, bukkehorn and lur. I was excited to see the people and the instruments behind the sound, however someone saw fit to hide them as much as possible.
Birmingham, United Kingdom@Symphony Hall
Show was fantastic as always, although it seemed a little rushed and somewhat less personal than the other 3 times I have attended - It might be because the venue was bigger this time, though. Crowd were awful this time around- everyone felt the need to record everything with a shitty smart phone, you know music videos exist right? The point is to have the live experience! Not some clip you’ll never view again. Unfortunately with Wardruna’s success, the fan base broadens and you end up with less favourable fans attending.
London, United Kingdom@Southbank Centre
Can't post photos, the food of the gods wouldn't allow me. Filming it would have only taken me out of the moment. The emotions, the sights, the music, the setting, all were absolutely awe inspiring. The quality was better than studio. Definitely one of the amazing concert experiences of my life, and I lost count on concerts over 2o years ago. "A" fucking plus performance. Definitely worth flying across the country for.

The performances of both supporting act and Wardruna was epic. This has to be my 2nd best concert experience I've been to. Totally worth riding 100+ miles and suffering up those mountains on a bike to see the concert.

Oh man, ive been looking forward to this concert for such a long time. I never thought id get to see Wardruna live. It did not disappoint! And Eivør was way more amazing than i expected. I just had so little experience with her music. The venue was great and surprisingly intimate feeling, even though its not small. Although yeah, at times in certain spots wothin the venue, the bass sounded a bit distorted and overblown. But it was still awesome to have this highly spiritual music rattle your ribcage. Truly a special night! Both artists are a must-see!
Portland, OR@Revolution Hall
What a unique experience. I didn't know a lot about this band other than what my brother told me about them. I was extremely happy I got to see them. The 1 less star was due to the venue. The bass that was being pushed out didn't sound very good sometimes. Almost sounded like a blown speaker. Anyways, great show.
Portland, OR@Revolution Hall
The music was amazing, very atmospheric, awesome instruments. Very ancient feeling. But I think that many metal heads went to this show with the wrong attitude and were very disruptive. I say this as a metal head myself. For example, talking loudly throughout the show and shouting Viking things at the artists while they were trying to talk and perform was inappropriate. I know they meant well, but this isn't Amon Amarth, it's Wardruna, and it's a totally different kind of music and experience.
That said, I absolutely love this band. They might be my favorite band, actually. I hope they come visit Cleveland, Ohio soon. I'll definitely see them again!
