CFG Bank Arena

As a longtime Bryson Tiller fan who's been listening to his music since 2016-2017, I was excited to finally see him live. Unfortunately, the concert was disappointing. Bryson makes great music, but he isn't much of a performer. He spent most of the show in areas of the stage that were blocked from the side sections, so while I could hear him, I could barely see him. Unless you were near the front, you missed a lot of the actual performance. The lineup also felt out of order. Ty Dolla Sign should have performed after Majid Jordan, not before. Majid Jordan wasn't bad, but their set brought the energy down right before Bryson came out. What made it worse was that Bryson only performed for about an hour, from roughly 9:45 to 10:45 p.m., after three opening acts. He also left out several songs I expected to hear based on the tour promotion. I remember Bryson saying in an interview that he never wanted to be famous, and honestly, that came across during this show. The performance lacked energy and connection with the audience. It felt more like an obligation than a show for the fans. I still love Bryson Tiller's music and will continue to support it, but I wouldn't pay to see him live again. Some artists make great records, but that doesn't always translate to a great concert experience.

Bad Omens literally saved me from the darkest parts of my life. Ive endured years of an abusive childhood and abusive relationships as an adult that sent me to a really hard place that I never thought id survive and now into solo motherhood being so young, and never having a chance to truly live life. I almost didn’t survive my battle with depression. Their music gave me my love for life back and my love for making music and singing back so in return me and my best friend took vacay time from working and i drove across 4 states from Ohio to Maryland. We stayed in a very cool air bnb during our trip it was so awesome. Baltimore is a beautiful city and Bad Omens a beautiful band. Seeing them live healed something in me I never even knew was missing. It gave me the sense of freedom and peace that I so desperately needed. Ive been to sooo many concerts and this one blew ALL of them out of the water. Bad Omens is BAD ASSSSS. (I also loved beartooth but OMG PRESIDENT!? Never knew them beforehand and I loveee them I was so shook at how amazing they were!)

Concert Review: Ginuwine at the RnB Lovers Tour Attending the RnB Lovers tour was a trip down memory lane, and Ginuwine’s performance was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the night. The moment he stepped on stage, nostalgia hit me full force—he’s still the showman we all remember. His charisma and stage presence brought back the essence of late ’90s and early 2000s R&B. That said, the set was surprisingly short, clocking in at only 20 minutes. While his vocals were solid (shaky at times) he reminded everyone of why he’s such a beloved figure in R&B, the overall production left something to be desired. The staging, sound quality, and choreography felt underdeveloped, which sometimes pulled focus from his natural talent. Even with those technical hiccups, the performance was good, and with more attention to the details of production, it could have been truly great. Ginuwine may not have had much time on stage, but he still managed to give fans a taste of the magic that made him an icon in the first place. Rating: 3.5/5 – Nostalgic and enjoyable, but his set deserved more polish and a longer run time.

If you have recently had the chance to catch the Bad Omens Do You Feel Love Tour, you have had the chance to catch an outstanding duo of opening bands in President and Beartooth. President has emerged onto the scene after dropping their debut EP, King of Terrors, in the summer of 2025, and are being quickly catapulted into rock popularity. After each campaign stop they are picking up more and more followers, and such is true after the the Baltimore show at CFG Bank Arena on March 14. The crowd in the pit was transfixed on Presidents movements as he entered the stage to “I Like Ike” chants playing prior to diving headfirst into their first song “Fearless” which allows the drummer, Vice, to set the mood with unrelenting beats that alternated between powerful and driving. The set peaks between their newest single, Angel Wings, and Conclave. Without even needing to signal the crowd, the citizens raise their phones and flashlights and light up the arena in a particularly powerful moment. President continued their energy and perfect blend of soft moments and loud post-h******e moment thru the last two songs of their set, ending with the first single they released “In The Name of the Father”. As the song wrapped up, the masked band quietly exited the stage without any pomp and circumstance, and with a wave and double peace-signs President headed off to their next rally in Raleigh the following night to gain the support of more citizens.

This event was amazing! The Band, the Stage effects, the venue staff and even the display screens were very clear. Ghost put on an incredible performance! I LOVE the no phone policy at this show as we were not blinded or view blocked by people holding phones up in the air and in the way like at past shows. Only issue was the seating in the tiers. The seats were VERY tight. I am five foot tall and there was no leg room for myself or other people behind me. My seat was in Section 110 Row N (first row in this section right at the iron bars).

This concert was the best concert I’ve ever been to! Ghost is my favorite band of all time. I had high expectations that were surpassed. It was quick and easy to get into the venue and to my seat. The Yondr pouches weren’t bad- I was too busy singing and dancing along to even think about using it. The set list was a great mix of their old and new music. Overall, a great experience.

THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME SEEING ALL 3 PERFORMANCE LIVE MARIO OPENED THE SHOW & I COULDN’T STOP SMILING THAT MAN IS SOOOO FINE😍😍😩 “Let Me Love You” always been my favorite & hearing him perform this I felt like a kid in a candy store lol . I only seen 10 mins of Neyo’s performance b/c Mario’s meet & greet was during the show right after he got off stage I’m a little upset about that Neyo got some hits that I wanted to hear 🤦🏾‍♀️. Lastly Mary I missed about the first 40 mins of her performance coming from the meet & greet 🤦🏾‍♀️but I did see her perform my 2 favorites “Be Without You & Just Fine” ❤️it was a good show though didn’t get any pictures only videos lol

Absolutely AMAZING SHOW! The venue was okay. Some things that could have been better, but I was there to see Jhene and was NOT disappointed. Show started at 7 with DJ Starrza and then Kiana Lede, UMI, Shenseea, Jessie Reyes, and then the Main performance Jhene. All of the ladies sounded SO GOOD. It was Beyond what I expected and I expected ALOT as just a general Jhene lover girl. The show was just great vibes and the production was out of this world. My soul was fed and I’m still on cloud 9. Definitely something to remember. I went to the Beyoncé renaissance concert at the fedex field as well, but something about this show touched me deeply beyond the entertainment aspect. If you haven’t been GO! If you’ve never listened to a song by any of the artists mentioned, I hope this comment inspires you to give them all a listen. 🌞

It was excellent. We drove in from South Jersey to see the show. The arena was in walking distance of the Inner Harbor. We were able to get a nice dinner on the water and then walk back for the concert. The venue was great. I can’t imagine that there was a bad seat in the house. The performers were awesome. My only complaint (not really a complaint) would be that it could’ve been “2 hours longer”! Will definitely come back again.

The concert was incredible. Especially Mercy Me who'd we'd never experienced before. Wow, sooo moving. Unfortunately the traffic was terrible getting into Baltimore so we were a bit late and only heard a couple of the last songs of Zac Williams who'd we'd enjoyed before and was incredible. Toby Mac I had loved before as well. I hope that We'll be able to see another "full" show of Toby's. With there being three main acts, and all headliners, it of course seemed Toby and Zac Williams had to cut theirs Unfortunately a bit short. The concert did run a little bit longer than a 2 act ine but just wasn't quite the same Unfortunately but Mercy Me seemed at least for us to really shine. Maybe also because we'd never seen them before and their mainstream songs are so familiar and heart stiring. The parking garage was extremely stressful but we finally found parking actually on the "way down," woa, which actually helped us get out once the show was over. I can't imagine the wait for the hundreds of cars behind us. The UBERS, had the streets blocked ridiculously waiting to pick up fares. That was so poorly done, but the show was amazing.

Absolutely amazing! This was my first concert ever and I had so much fun. Orbit Culture and Knocked Loose opened up for them and they did a phenomenal job performing and at getting the crowd ready. Then, when Slipknot came out, I couldn’t control my excitement. I’m usually super reserved in public, but I couldn’t help singing along and rocking out with them. Thank you so much guys for the amazing performance!!!

This was my 2nd time seeing Melanie live. I saw her last year for the portals tour but i didn’t have a good time… not because of her but other stuff. So I was happy I was able to make up for that awful experience. It was awesome to see her perform songs off of Crybaby. That album will always mean everything to me. Ahh Nostalgia. She was incredible. Hope to see her again and again and again..!!!!

I loved the show my daughter love the show I never sat down & my seat luv u Nikki & Monica are amazing hard working woman they both are my fav very talented I respect them both Bmore’s own Takeo bang he was great congratulations on your success I remember see him all the time playing ball with my kids years ago when he had a song on radio I enjoyed everything the night felt magical til next time…

Journey and Toto were both terrific bands and performed well. We've loved their music for decades! The venue - CFG Bank Arena - has been renovated since I was last there a few years ago. The concession stands, rest rooms and seats have been updated. Unfortunately, the leg room is still horrendous. If you're over 6 feet tall, your knees will be in the back of the seat in front of you while seated. If you have broad shoulders or are a bit overweight, you'd better plan to be close friends with those on both sides of you. This arena was built when Americans were shorter and skinnier, and it shows! Very uncomfortable.

Super bummed Elder played only 3 songs. If you like Fear Innoculum and don't care about seeing Elder you'll like the show. I rocked to the half dozen or less Tool played from other albums. Visuals were 5 star. Performance was not. 7th show for Tool and it was the calmest by far. Tool fans getting old? 5th show for Elder. If you're on the fence about going or are going to see Elder I might pass. Still, I went with my Son to his first Tool and Elder concert, so that's pretty badass. Also, first time I've heard Elder sing a harmony with Nick and Jack.

JP Saxe was a wonderful surprise as the support act. John didn’t seem comfortable for the first half of his set. It was good, not great. Felt too much like an arena show, rather than just a night with John hanging out and playing songs and relaxing with friends. John didn’t talk much. JP Saxe looked and felt more comfortable in this room than John. I think John’s scripted approach to segments of the show and lights out between songs, etc. contributed to keeping the barrier up and making it feel like a less-intimate arena show.

The venues was very big, the performers was magnificent I couldn't help but to yelled from the top of my lungs as they sung my favorite songs. Listening to Queen Latifah, LL Cool J, De la soul, and Rakim, DJ Jazzy Jeff all these performers I had grown up listening to and had a impact on my childhood. Last night my mother, fiance, and I had witness greatness just by watching this stars doing what they do best; although, some of the others performers were not in attendance for this particular date because there were many others I would have loved to seen. I'm grateful for the experience that I was able to share with my mother and fiance and build memories with photos and videos.

Great music (as expected) but a little overproduced. With the amount of talent on stage, there's no need for the theatrics of the light show, smoke, and screen graphics. Some of the best part of the show was him and his wife on stage "unplugged" when the band took a break. Allen Stone and Margo Price were the openers. Stone has a nice blues tone/beach bar sound that was unexpectedly pleasant. Not a Margo Price fan. CFG Arena is a nice venue, but in a terrible part of town in downtown Baltimore.

Lizzo was absolutely amazing! This was my first time seeing her and she did not disappoint. She was I’ll and had to cancel some shows and she was well enough to perform. We had issues with Ticketmaster on our tickets and had to stand in line forever to correct it. It turned for the better because we ended up with floor tickets and had a dance party!!! Will be seeing her again when she decides to run it back!!

Great show! Jeff is obviously a fantastic performer. We love that he doesn't pull punches on anyone and there's no topic off limits. You can tell that some of his show is "off books" and improv style, which is awesome. The arena was pretty easy to get in and out of, there was a good parking garage right across the street. My Baltimore friends at work warned us that the arena is in a bad part of town, but we never felt unsafe or feared walking around.
