Lauren Daigle

She was beautiful. Started a little later, than expected, but that’s ok. Great police presence-so felt safe before, during and after in my hometown. She is so humble and gracious as was meeting her neurosurgeon resident BF. As a multitude of spinal surgeries-good to know more are coming. Crowd was pleasant. Tickets were a bit difficult to get on this site, but once i called the Saenger in NOLA. ..it was explained the site was having issues..so a manual ticket via the Saenger was purchased. A tad of difference, but overall the same. Not sure if her voice was a bit strained, but maybe. She spoke a-lot. Which was good, but hearing her voice more important . I would recommend! Glad she came to her home state. She claims Lafayette, La. Do not blame her- sorry Lake Charles. Wish I had my guy from Lafayette (somehow related to Lauren Daigle!

I missed the last time she was here at the Washington State fair in Puyallup WA. I am so glad I went last night! She was amazing! Her spirit and joy for the Lord is so awesome! Her big smile, happiness and her fun dancing was so full of the goodness of God! She put on a great show! I feel blessed! So grateful I was able to make it! Thank you Lauren Daigle! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and beyond!

9/10 Loved it! Lauren was Amazing! Her team just needs to do a better job with Organization! why is gets a 4 star rating! They canceled her tour and moved it to a new venue without giving people their tickets and they changed my seating that I paid $$$ for! was very pissed at that! Plus during her Q&A for vip holders there was a lady with her hand up the whole time wanting to ask a question and they didn’t even go up to her or acknowledged her!

It was a blessing to be able to attend with my little girl, not just the show but the q&a beforehand also. It was a blessing from God to see Lauren exemplify a wonderful combination of humility, exuberance and compassion, and see her and the team live in the calling of Christ and make use of this platform for furthering God's kingdom and displaying His love for people. Inspirational stuff.

Genuinely the best concert I’ve ever been to! I’ve been a fan of her music since I was a practically a child and I’m so glad o finally got to see her. The area was great and the music in between sets was so good.The jazz ,Caribbean soul mix of styles in her music is immaculate and I’ll never forget that night!!

Lauren’s shows are always great. I’ve seen her 3 times and all the shows were different. I absolutely loved the story telling show she did in miramar Beach Florida . It was so much fun! I loved the worship set. She didn’t Pensacola. and lastly was the show in Birmingham. That girl has so much energy and love. It was wonderful. Can’t wait to see what she does next.

Her concert is a must see! She and her band are excellent. She also had an unscripted few moments with a fan who came onstage with her, sang a song and poured out her soul with Lauren. Lauren gave her heartfelt compassion and prayed for the fan - it was truly inspirational to watch Lauren show so much grace, empathy and love while offering up a moving prayer. Can’t wait to see her in concert again!

Lauren Daigle and Ellie Holcombs voices were amazing. The energy of the crowd was great. I had a problem with the venue which is why it's only 4 stars. There were only 2 metal detectors for all the patrons coming in. Lines were horrendously long to go through them. The lay out of the arena was also not well thought out. You had to go up to go down to go back up. Bathrooms were only in a lower level not on every level. Not just friendly.

Lauren Daigle: 12/9/23 “It’s as if Scrooge and the Grinch smiled together upon me granting the gift of one last non-holiday show to end my year at Greenville’s Bon Secours Wellness Arena Saturday evening. Lauren (‘the Christian Adele’) has been a hot ticket since the day the event went on sale back in March, and not altogether a cheap date either ($52-166.50 plus fees —always tack on at least a third). Majorly behind the times, I had only learned recently that the Grammy, Billboard, and American Music Award winning singer is primarily a Christian artist. Being familiar mostly with her pop crossover hit ‘You Say’ how would I have known until I recently noticed ‘These Are The Days’ climbing the charts in the Christian circuit. Putting my hat in the ring this week, I entered Magic 106.3’s contest for a pair of tickets and to my surprise won. Needless to say I was thrilled as I had been following the event from the very beginning. The Greenville show marked the 30th and final date of her 2023’s Kaleidoscope Tour which ended in a whirlwind of three shows in three cities in three days. With 4 studio albums, 1 EP, 42 charted singles including 8 number ones, the show was expected to lean heavy on material from her 2023 eponymous album which had been released in two volumes over the space of three months. The album itself which compiles two years of studio work, is in one man’s opinion, a neo-soul masterpiece worthy of more than just a casual listen-over. The show was an as expected sell-out save a few seats that opened up last moment on the lower sides (sections 105 and 111) with restricted views. My seats were upper bowl side stage slightly toward the front, four rows above the bowl divider. Arriving early I made my way to the stage front for a close up revealing an orange carnival curtain tent semi-circled backdrop concealing all but keyboards and percussion instruments in the forefront allocated for the opening artist’s set. The Kaleidoscope logo shone on the curtain with a walkway extending out more than halfway into the floor sections that ended in a lighted circular B-stage. A row of floor lamps covered the entire length of the stage floor from left to right. During the performance the main artist’s full band could be seen partially hidden just above a lower barrier of curtaining with video screens placed in between upper and lower curtains to the far left and right ends of the stage. The whole atmosphere in the building could be summed up as warm and inviting. At 7:30 promptly the lights went down for Lauren’s opener Victory Elyse Boyd aka ‘Victory’ to take the stage for a 25 minute / 4 song set. It was her eighth performance on the tour which utilized three different opening acts at different phases. One of nine siblings from Detroit, the singer who began her career as a New York busker which led to an appearance on ABC’s Morning Show and a songwriting credit on Kanye West’s ‘Closed For Sunday’, she excelled vocally throughout the performance. Backed by a four person band her soul fused honey rasp vocals proved the perfect recipe necessary to set the stage for the oncoming of the main performer. Drawing three songs from her 2023 release ‘Glory Hour’ she added in one Christmas song, ‘O Holy Night’, to cheers from the audience. ‘Listen it’s December ninth and I don’t remember a year where it’s gotten this close to Christmas and I don’t have the Christmas feels.’ One fan in the floor section responded with a commandingly loud, ‘Merry Christmas!’ Victory responded, ‘Thank you I needed that’, it was the only Christmas song of the evening. Following what felt like forever for a simple stage turn, the lights dimmed once again as the stage curtains illuminated with flashes of lightning and the sounds of an electrical storm over the main sound system. At 8:50 p.m. Lauren Ashleigh Daigle 32 from Lafayette Louisiana took the stage, true to her LA roots with a three piece brass section (trumpet, trombone, saxophone) leading the way down the catwalk for a 2 hour and 5 minute / 20 song set. Beginning with her currently #29 on the charts single from the new album ‘These Are The Days’, the first three songs all from the 2023 release set the pace of the evening with a staggering dozen songs from the new album —consisting of sixty percent of her total material. ‘My name is Lauren, I’m so glad to see y’all tonight, this is like the joy of my heart, I love it so much, I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it.’ Marching up and down the walkway, reading signs, and interacting with the audience all along the way her simple mannerisms combined with a pure joy was contagious especially to those adjacent to the runway. It was of note that there was no pit, everyone was seated in proximity to the runway and somehow it unexpectedly fostered a more intimate artist/fan interaction. Calling selected fans up onto the stage, she staged an unmiked—unamped screaming competition to which a fan by the name of Alyssa was the clear winner. Another Daigle fan ‘Amy Erlanger’ conjectured up some free dance moves front and center stage that were both uninhibited and unbridled, Lauren commenting, ‘I just like a good sheer ruckus!’ The Louisiana horns were strong on ‘New’ and the number one single ‘Trust In You’ brought the sextet of three background singers and three horn players out onto the circular end stage while the backing musicians remained on the main stage. Each member of the 12 piece band was dressed all in white, shirt, pants, and sneakers accentuated in Kaleidoscope colors, Daigle herself wore pants covered in a daisy print featuring every color of the rainbow. ‘He's Never Gunna Change’ was performed with purple and white starlight projected onto the stage curtains and was perhaps Daigle’s best vocal performance of the evening. Prior to the singing of ‘Valuable’ a personal favorite of mine, Daigle explained the concept of the Kaleidoscope Tour. ‘It only happens one time, you’ll only see that image one time and one time only. The second you put it up to the light something beautiful comes on the other side the view, it’s pretty miraculous. Some of you came with incredible joy. Some of you came with the weight of sorrow. We all come in here with our stories… portraying this beautiful thing that God has put inside of each one of you —a story’. The hit’s continued with chart toppers ‘Hold On To Me’ and ‘Rescue’ and the complete band was brought out to the b-stage for a traditional Nashville styled writer’s round for ‘Saint Ferdinand’, ‘Inherited’ (a song about family) and ‘How Can It Be’ her very first single from 2014’s EP. There were however some lulls in the action which left more fast-paced folk such as myself feeling a little antsy. An audience member called out, ‘We got all night’ as Daigle quantified, ‘I like slowing time down. I think it’s a good thing to have to be still for a second.’ I couldn’t help but ask myself multiple times throughout the course of the evening ‘Is she really that simple and innocent a soul? If so, how in the world had she been propelled into such a status of stardom?’ My conclusion, ‘Yes, and that sheer authenticism is something we all long for, something we both crave and desire. The evening’s opener Victory was brought back onstage for a semi-traditional rendering of ‘His Eye Is On The Sparrow’ in duet form. The party in the streets atmosphere was not altogether done as each singer was introduced and everyone returned to the main stage for colorfully upbeat renderings of ‘Kaleidoscope Jesus’, ‘Turbulent Skies’, and the number 4 hit ‘Still Rolling Stones’ all performed in tandem. As the concert was winding toward its conclusion it was obvious that three nights of performing in a row had begun to take its toll on the singers voice, though it never slowed her down for a moment physically. It seems to me that many seasoned performers have eventually learned to schedule days off between dates in order to deliver their very best, maybe we’ll just chalk that up to her still being young in her career. Daigle however saved the best for last with her all time cross-genre number one ‘You Say’. With lights dimmed she was found standing on a small one person b-stage all the way to the rear of the auditorium to the right of the mixing board to the delight of her fans who remained content all evening located far from the main action. Dismounting the stage mid-song she made her way back to mid arena shaking every hand extended in outreach. In an exhibition of sheer gratitude for her fans she could not stop thanking folk for coming out, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so much for being a part of our night. We love you so much!’ The Kaleidoscope Tour was an event to be experienced not just a concert, one that will never be reduplicated again as such that I was grateful to have been a part of. Even though it left less room for many of her number ones with a scattering of them missing from the set, the entire vibe was something especially unique. Lauren’s music career began by singing in her church choir. She paid for her own vocal lessons with money earned by scrubbing toilets. After being bedridden for two years with an autoimmune disease and two failed attempts at American Idol she learned to not rush the process, describing it in her own words, ‘There was this trust that [God] started to build in me. I started realizing that God was trying to connect some dots.’ ’If I want my purest worship to come out, I have to have unhindered expression’. At thirty-two she has found her voice and loves her sound. There are no signs of letting down, and with a fan base consisting of folk from all walks of life she has become a solid musical force, one to be reckoned with!” Review and photo by DAve (Concert #844)

The concert was exceptional! Enjoyed both performers very much. The seats on the other hand was a little aggravating. Purchased section 115 row L and we had to be seated elsewhere because that section was nonexistent. We were informed by a very polite lady that there was a miscommunication with the event. I would have given 5 stars if not for being moved. The lady that seated us deserves praise as this was not her mistake and some people were just plain rude to her.

I enjoyed the concert. She had great energy and I truly love her ballads. The flow of the concert was very good too as well as her staging. The only negatives is we had two young adolescent in front of us who were sitting in the front row and refused to sit down. I'm all for standing up when appropriate but these two young ladies did not read the room and didn't care if they blocked the view for others behind them. This, of course, was not Lauren Daigle's issue. The other problem was the Base was too loud and, as a result, at times it was difficult to hear the lyrics of songs. Finally, NOW arena is has horrendous traffic management especially when trying to exit their parking lots. It took us 30 minute just to exit a lot.

The concert was great but the venue was horrible. They didn’t open the doors on time and the line was half a mile long in 2 directions and we were stuck out there with protesters saying we were all going to hell for listening to contemporary Christian music. They were making kids cry and we were stuck outside. We will never visit that venue ever again.

L. D. Was amazing as always. Love when she comes home!! Her new album is absolutely a blessing!! Thanks L.D for a wonderful time and for you to do the baby announcement was something that others don't do. I wish they would all be like you during a concert. You could tell you really care. Keep spreading God's word one song at a time!!

I almost didn't go, but glad I changed my mind. Great night of worship and she really knows how to interact with the audience. My only complaint was having to also pay to get into the festival grounds after paying for the concert. I did come by early to enjoy the festival, but it was a miserable experience due to the fact it be was kids get in free day. Elbow to elbow all afternoon. I think every adult brought their kids, their neighbors kids, and probably the entire street. Next year, if it is kids day......I won't be going.

It was so so amazing. I'd say the first concert I've been to maybe EVER that was a true musical talent. Not a fancy production, but a stage full of AMAZING musicians. And Lauren is just awesome. So quirky and earthy and real. I love all her songs and their jazzy, reggae, gospel feel. Her songs sounded very different last night in concert than they do on the radio, which just shows their great musicianship. The stage setup was simple and beautiful. When we encored her, she came back and we literally just sang hymns and worshipped together for like 20 min! A memory of a lifetime.

I really liked the concert, the choir, the musical band, the lights and especially the presentation that Lauren made, in reality she has a spectacular voice, that's why I admire her. I remember that on Facebook on her Lauren page I received an invitation to buy my ticket to her concert in San Francisco, but for financial reasons I could not buy it, a month later one of my friends told me that she already had her ticket to the concert and that she would go with another friend and encouraged me to buy mine, which I did in November or December last .. I do not remember well, I tried to buy the ticket but I got different prices, at the beginning $ 65, or $ 75 and so on until I found one that charged me $ 115 but with taxes and everything, the total was $ 150 and I never received a CD, instead, my friends each received a CD in the mail and only paid $ 45 for each ticket. This experience has me a little uncomfortable. It was worth going to see and hear Lauren Daigle singing, but I really do not like the exorbitant prices that many fans have to go through to see our favorite artist.

The concert was very good. Love her voice. Do wish she'd have sung the songs more as intended rather than the reggae styling she inflected on some of her older songs. It's a cute style but when too many songs are sung that way they start all sounding the same. We previously saw her perform a concert in a church and it was much more spiritual and uplifting than in this setting. It felt as though she was made to tone down her spirituality and that was disappointing. Please let Lauren be Lauren, not restrained for popularity reasons. Her spirit is infectious and is what makes her songs so real and so moving ❤🙏

Lauren was awesome. The push for child sponsorship way very, very long. We believe in sponsorship and do sponsor a child but it was just way too long (almost 1/2 hour i think). Lauren did not come on until 9:00pm when the concert started at 7:30. There were 2 opening acts that were not advertised. The concert ended at approximately 11:00pm.

VIP experience was nothing short of a huge blessing! What a privilege to have met Lauren and to share a bit of our story. Lauren, you are spot on when you say one of our biggest strengths in trying times is community; as God himself created it that way. Lauren, please remember Jeremy and Jennifer in your thoughts and prayers as she continues her recovery from breast cancer. We love you, we pray for you and your ministry in music. We pray the Lord bless you and keep you and may he make his face to shine upon you and give you, your family, and community great, great peace as your music has done for us. Amen

Lauren Daigle sounded fantastic! The venue on the other hand was awful. No handicapped parking close. I purchased front row seats and had to look between railings to even see the stage which had speakers the size of a very large bank vault. I actually didn’t realize she had backup singers! Very disappointed! Would buy tickets to see her again but would NEVER go to this venue.
