Hollywood Palladium

I saw Crosses at The Satellite when they presented the OG Set of EPs and their first Record. That was a perfect show. The Palladium is one of my favorite venues of Los Angeles. And it seemed too big for the current version of Crosses. If they would have had a drummer and a bassist like they did back at The Satellite maybe it would have worked. But a show 90% pre-programmed is not that appealing to me and definitely not in such a big venue. Maybe this same show at a smaller venue would have worked better. Also, the opener was a bad idea. A DJ playing 80's music that did not beat match not even once. I don't think he had anyone dancing or moving. In the end he played one of his tracks that was in the same line as Crosses and now it made sense. I would have chosen a BAND to open.

I really liked the venue. The bathroom was clean and the staff was professional. However, no full bar available and drinks are overpriced. It was also very confusing to find the entrance because it was on the side instead of being at the main gate. Lost Frequencies didn't show up three hours after the show started but the other artists were quite good. I went to another Lost Frequencies concert in LA before and there was only one opener + meet & greet after the show and it was a much better experience. I think having 3 artists opening this time is too many.

Mixed feelings… the small venue was an awesome opportunity for an intimate show and it was great that way but it also made it seem small and inconspicuous. His energy was awesome but he’s also over the top and had someone kicked out at the beginning which seems unnecessary drama… the sound was awesome but without live instruments it felt too artificial. Overall is was a fun experience but had higher expectations

Parking was easy at the venue. Entry was quick and efficient. I never waited in line for a beverage. I was able to get around the venue easily, restrooms were clean, staff were helpful and sound/lighting was perfect. Had a good view from anywhere in the room. The bands had high energy and there was lots of participation from the crowd. The bands played a good mix of new and older songs .10/10 concert experience.

Last night, I attended the most recent show of The Sisters of Mercy, marking my seventh time seeing them live since my first experience back in 1990. As a touring musician myself, I've encountered various venues where the sound quality was lacking, despite it being their primary responsibility alongside security. Frustratingly, I even took matters into my own hands, handling the entire sound setup and providing the house stereo outs, only to witness them somehow still mishandling it. However, considering the fact that Andrew Eldritch, the band's founding member, is now 62 and continues to grace us with his presence on stage, it's truly awe-inspiring. I commend The Sisters of Mercy and all the dedicated professionals involved in their performances. Despite the occasional shortcomings, they persist and give their best efforts. It's rare to witness individuals who have not only created a genre but also remain embedded within it for decades. Alongside the likes of Christo, Dylan, and Ravi Devi, these supporters contribute to an invaluable network of friends. I can only hope to have such companions in my own musical journey when I reach my 60s.

This was one of the best shows I have ever been to! The energy, the songs, the venue...it was all perfect! Bush played a handful of songs from their new album as well as from their past catalog. I also did the VIP and met the band before the show, but then Gavin came down into the audience and sang to me as well! Unforgettable experience!

One of the best concerts I’ve gone to in a smaller venue, Fletcher put on a performance for sure. I came out from Hawaii to catch her last show of the tour and can honestly say it was totally worth the trip and will be catching more in the future. Couldn’t have asked for a better closing night to a tour. Thanks!! 10/10 recommend seeing her if you haven’t already.

Fletcher was AMAZING and I totally enjoyed her stage presence and performance. Just wish the fans were nicer to each other. We’re supposed to be a family who shares love for the same singer. I’ve been to a handful of artist shows/concerts now, some extremely famous ones, and none of them had been as aggressive and mean as the fans I encountered at this concert last night. I had a panic attack (unexpected and not controllable) in the middle of the crowd (I didn’t have friends with me) and no one cared. Instead, they trampled over me and shoved me while staring at me crying and took advantage of pushing in front of me.

Badflower is amazing they are great live! wish set was longer but biggest problem at palladium is you can’t see show. Always million tall people blocking and constantly putting hands up so instead of seeing Josh Katz you see hands. Paying money ti see hands and always ride people talking loud during show no one wants to hear you talking we paid money to see hear bands singers not you. also why can’t anyone post settimes? It’s ridiculous pay money for show can’t get times! be like Coldplay who lost settimes energy show!

It was amazing, and the vibes were immaculate! Their music hit so different live and it was a great time! However, at one point in the concert I think it got a little too stuffy, the music became a little too loud, and I had to step out. Luckily they had an on-site medic and a really responsive crew because I could see a few other people weren’t feeling good and were getting help. Overall, fantastic concert, ok venue and crowd, but great crew.

5 stars because Fishbone always puts on an exceptional show. However, they were only able to perform 5-6 songs because Cypress Hill was going to go on. It seemed like the band members were disappointed and upset that they couldn't finish their set. So were the fans (including me). I understand that the headliner was Cypress Hill, but the Fishbone show should not have ended so abruptly. The band did not even get a chance to introduce themselves, like they always do and play their closing song. It was very disappointing for to pay for tickets and not get what I came for. I was so disappointed and upset (as the band was) that I left immediately after the show, without waiting for the band members to meet their fans as they always do. Terrible experience.

so so so so so incredible, electrifying and impactful! even though the venue was snug, the crowd was fully engaged and not uncomfortable. so much love for one ok rock, they really know how to hype a crowd! every song was passionate and powerful and the whole venue rocked with the music. it was so awesome. I would pay anything to relive the concert again :)

incredible. amazing. spectacular. jaw dropping. the stage presence and energy of the entire band made for such an extraordinary experience. not only did the band take care of the crowd, but the crowd took care of each other and it’s just really refreshing to see an artist encourage that! overall awesome show, couldn’t be any more ecstatic. looking forward to the next time they’re back in town! shoutout to their opener too the Goon Sax, rly talented & awesome stage presence as well!!

AFI gets 5 stars because they were amazing. The setlist was alright, but the crowd ruined the show for me. Throwing beer around is just disgusting!! So are rude people who push their way to your spot that you were waiting hours for just to get all up in your space. I don’t go to a show to get sandwiched like a sardine just so desperate idiots can create a spot that wasn’t there to begin with to get Davey’s attention… Have some respect people!!!

LOVED the concert!! INK, MIW, and BVB were all amazing!! This was my first time seeing INK and MIW, and I was not disappointed. BVB brought it as the closing act. If you have tickets left in your area, don’t hesitate to buy them NOW! The line-up is random each night, so they could be playing in a different order in your area.

Took my daughter to see Mel, and i gotta say i actually liked how the show turned out..it was pretty amazing, her music's not my cup of tea, but i was happy for my daughter and all her other fans that were there to see her..at the end when she gave her thanks to her fans it seemed super genuine, and u can tell she really enjoys doing concerts and seeing her fans enjoy themselves..

Fucking amazing- haven’t been that happy in a LONG, LONG time. It was my daughter’s first introduction to a Punk Rock show, an all girl band, an all girl punk band, & of course the beautiful talented ladies that make up Bikini Kill! She was sufficiently blown away by all - and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to accompany me to, lets face it, a show that was like HISTORY IN THE FUCKING MAKING (right?). Those bitches haven’t aged a day it seems - & reminded me of who I was, who I am, & who I am still seeking to become. A MUCH needed reminder that couldn’t have come at a better time for this rebel girl :) And a bonus- my kid finally understands- REALLY understands- my personalized license plates.......ha ha ha.

From the moment I saw the ad for this show announcing she was performing on her 75th birthday with family and friends I knew this would be a special evening. The audience respected the dress code of Ultra Glam: Sequins Beads and Feathers. She sang hit after hit. Had 4 outfit changes and Sean Combs, Robin Thicke, and Stevie Wonder graced us with their voices. Diana made everyone feel like we were part of her family attending her birthday party. It didn't feel like your typical concert. The night was magical regardless of the 11:30PM start time on a Tuesday.

Had a blast with some friends at the show... an early birthday celebration for me and NIN came to play. The Palladium is such a great venue for this show because it’s intimate and the energy and moshing was contagious. The band was good but not superb in song choice so I gave it 4/5. Glad to see another full show with one of my faves. 🙌🏼

First time seeing Alice in Chains. The venue is a intimate size building but not too small with a good view no matter where you stand. Growing up in the 90s it was dream come true seeing these guys play. The new singer William Duvall managed to represent the classic songs with authenticity yet making it his own. Amazing concert, many diehard fans singing along to the classics and new songs from the album that just dropped, oh and huge surprise bringing up Robbie Krieger (The Doors) on stage to play on the last song of the set (Rooster).
