We really enjoyed the show but so sad to hear that Ali and Gareth are no longer a part of the collective!
Felt the show was stripped back so much there wasn’t the same engagement with the audience (no inflatable balls/panda heads/confetti)
I get that they wanted to prioritise their message and stop away all the extras but my opinion is that, that added to the show, although Chris and his crew was good, def think it’s the worst show I’ve seen of them, and I’ve seen them three times live now!

Always love a Rend Collective concert/worship! I miss some of the missing original band members and am grateful to have heard them years ago in Bangor. The music volume was ramped up a bit too loud for my taste and I was happy that earplugs were provided.... the quieter numbers allowed the lovely folksy sound to come through along with Chris' wonderful vocals.

It was my first time seeing Rend Collective. For both my friend and I, and we ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! They had so much energy on stage and bringing God's word, it was simply amazing. I've been trying to see them in concert for quite sometime now. So I was very happy to get the opportunity to do so. I will surely see them again! Venue was perfect too. Not too far and not a bad seat in the house. Thank you!!!

This was our second time seeing Rend with the kids! Such great artists - their love of Jesus comes through and shows in their music and worship. Awesome music - we have quite a few of their albums. Nice location too! Close to Albany and didn't have to go far at all - love that! Thank you and come back soon!

The energy, passion, love, humour, talent of the musicians and just sheer joy at every single Rend Collective concert will never stop to amaze me and you walk out like I’ve just been part of a large family concert! Great acoustics, and didn’t need to use my ear plugs. Although the stage isn’t massive, the lights created a fab effect that went well with the campfire at the centre front (for their Campfire Album 10th anniversary); it was great to see them support Chris Rendeza from Tennessee (first time in London!).
Whether you’re a Christian or not, you come a way feeling uplifted, encouraged, empowered, restored and healed emotionally and filled with peace.
Venue: easy to find, close enough to Shepherd’s Bush.. we were seated in unreserved seating area on Level 3, seats are like benches and only about 40 cm deep! Plus it’s fairly high up, and if you sit in the first 7-8 rows you have the bannister in the line of view. We couldn’t stand up much (we did anyway) but it’s really tight, and hardly any space to go past people. We were told no water bottles in (there was a raffle system) and they charged £3.40 for a 500ml water without a lid, but could ask for tap water. Lots of stairs, only 2 toilets for women on each level but they work well if you don’t mind waiting a little. Overall I would book again, A joyful experience altogether!

More a glorious Praise Service/evening than a concert as Rend Collective came 'home' to that small Northern Ireland Town that is now one of the United Kingdom's newest Cities🤦😉😂 Truly God was in that place last night as the audience, both young and old, joined the Band as they celebrated the 10th anniversary of their 'Campfire' Album, in an uplifting evening of praise and worship to Our Great God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit 💙 ❤️ 🙏 ✝️

Crazy talented band had the whole room jumping and dancing Irish jigs to amazing sounds of violin, mandolin, guitar, accordion, harmonica, you name it. Campfire tour is from the heart inviting all back to song, prayer, community. Rend Collective is next-level and up there with any Christian band performing today. Their Irish heritage creates a totally unique and utterly captivating sound.

The event center provided a more intimate atmosphere than the impersonal setting of a large stadium. The setting was perfect for the intended connection of the performers with the audience. At first, I was concerned about purchasing General Admission tickets, yet found there was no problem finding a good seat when arriving.
The canvas backdrop, the follow along lyrics, and the flaming campfire on stage added to the theme of evening.
The members of Rend Collective encouraged interaction with the attendees, providing many opportunities to sing, cheer, dance, and worship together as family and friends.
In the past several years of life's burdens, Rend Collective's encouragement and joy in the journey helped lighten the burdens I've been carrying in my heart. The experience will stay with me for years to come.

Phenomenal night of worship & praise! High energy, raw musical talent, down to earth and Biblically focused. So thankful Rend Collective shares their gifts with us! Thank you thank you thank you for coming to small town Minnesota. Such a blessing to fill up a a couple rows with my church family & other local friends and see so many familiar faces at these smaller venues. Love it so much more than the drive + bigger venues in the twin cities.

I was so surprised Rend Collective came to a small venue like Dayton, Pa but I was so glad! I have been wanting to see them in concert for years and they were in Pennsylvania and within a couple hours of me. :) I was so encouraged by the "down to earth" spirit they brought to the stage. The sound quality of the band was amazing and I loved seeing all the musicians pick up so many instruments. Such a great night of worship!

One of the most amazing concerts I've ever been to. I go to probably 7 to 10 concerts every year and have become kind of a concert conusueur, Rend collective was authentic and fun and funny, awesome, in every way!! They are in my top 3 of all time and i have been to MANY !!! I will be watching for them anywhere within a 1000 miles of me if they are the headliners ,because they are incredible. I drove 2 and a 1/2 hours to see the concert and I ordered the newest album before I ever even left the town. Awesome awesome really really awesome!
Scottsdale Ranch, AZ@Impact Church
The event was well advertised; the venue was comfortable and set a worshipful atmosphere. This is our second time seeing Rend Collective and it was another outstanding performance. The audience was engaged from beginning to end. Each person in the band and behind the scenes is dedicated to sharing God's message through their songs of worship and their beyond-belief musical talent. We can't wait to see them again!
Mount Vernon, IL@Central Christian Church
Great concert. World Vision is a great ministry but they took entirely too long. I greatly appreciate the gospel being shared. Still upset about the Southaven, MS concert being cancelled with no legitimate explanation given. This is why we were at the Pensacola concert. One last thing, it would be nice to purchase shirts. Us folks that are over 2x would like one too!
Milton, FL@Immanuel Baptist Church
Opening act was painfully loud, which obviously was not the artist's fault. Several people were using ear plugs. I feel like it's really important to adjust your lights and sound to the venue, and they seemed to be operating on a stadium setting in a church auditorium. The run-up to Rend Collective was about twice as long as it should have been, and the auditorium was stifling hot.
But finally Rend Collective came on and eventually someone turned on the A/C. Rend Collective was AWESOME! Spiritually encouraging, uplifting, and challenging -- and fantastic musicians. I love this band.
Burke, VA@Burke Community Church
Rend Collective never disappoints! They are one of the most energetic and crowd engaging bands I've ever seen. This was my 4th time seeing them in concert, and truly the best one! Not only do they perform an amazing repertoire of songs, but they present the gospel message and plan of salvation at every concert. They have not lost sight of their first love!

Here is what I left on my Facebook page (Linda Marie Bicksler):
The AMAZING (X-caliber) (lightning-original musicality)(quirky-HILARIOUS) (sincere) (beautiful)(geniuses of syncopation) (demon-defying) (Agape-savvy) (WILDLY creative)(lyrically stunning) (seriously, their words bring tears to my eyes) (& make my arms go up & hands clap & sometimes PUNCH the air in victorious JOY (etc.)...Rend Collective.
My pictures don't do them justice. "Lovers of God."
They model kinship & community on-stage -- totally selfless, humble, outward-focused: horizontal and vertical. I really loved it. To tackle Chesterfield !!!!! 😮
I listened "Let it Roll" on YouTube The day after the concert. I saw the outdoor version in Ireland with scary SHOOTING fire and gigantic beach balls being tossed. You guys never fail to surprise -- in a GOOD way!
Anderson, IN@East Side Church of God
I LOVE when bands come to smaller venues to play! It's like having them in my living room; or at the fire pit! Rend did not disappoint! This was my 3/4 time seeing them and prob my favorite! ( saying a lot as the first time was at Disney's Night of Joy!)
The energy was amazing and had they not left the stage after the 2nd encore we would still be there "suggesting" songs!
Land of Color opened for them - kind of a Bob Dylan vibe. Very Good! Very enjoyable!
LOVED that they played in my hometown of CLEVES! I mean... just the Cleves mailing address but still! Worth the 2 + hour drive to get there and the nap in the rest area to get home!!
Cleves, OH@Whitewater Crossing
You guys didn't disappoint! It's awesome to see and hear Christian music come in such different size and shape boxes and still have the same message! Can't wait to see you all again. "Seriousness isn't a fruit of the spirit, but joy is"

That was the most amazing, heartfelt, energetic, fun and happy concert ever! I literally couldn't help but smile and dance (jump) around to the joy in the room! They also had the best showmanship I've ever seen. Lots of fun interaction! Wow! Rend Collective, Urban Rescue, and Moriah Peters killed it! If you haven't heard of the latter two, check them out too!
Colorado Springs, CO@The Art of Celebration Tour / Mountain Springs Church
IT WAS AMAZING! The band was so down to earth, and didn't take themselves seriously at all. They even joked about the line in Build Your Kingdom Here where they say "set your church on fire," since apparently their church burned down three weeks later! hilarrrious.It turns out they're also really involved with an organization called Compassion, which helps support children in third world countries. By the end of the night, I'd gotten a compassion kid myself! God's presence was so evident the whole night, and it was just an unbelievably amazing experience. If you ever have the chance to see them, GO.
