This was one of only four US tour dates on 311's 2024 tour and I definitely did not want to miss it, let alone in an amazing (non-ampitheatre) venue like The Norva. While I appreciate their material post-2010, 311 treated us to almost 85% of songs pre-2010. The band still has it and the crowd of fans this night were there for it. Did not disappoint; 10/10.
Incredible performance! Hundreds of times better than when I saw them two years ago though it is weird the lead singer kept changing his shirts (or completely removing) between every song. I think he changed his tops a total of nine times. Super positive, uplifting dude though. 100% worth going to see!
Great venue & great show! Audience was the most engaged audience I've ever been a part of. Gordon missed a lyric here & there but didn't miss a beat & neither did the audience. Was hoping for "Country Death Song" as a bonus but instead we got "Black Girls". Hope they circle back through the midwest for some additional final shows to end the anniversary tour. Thank you for the memories & the art, Violent Femmes!
Such an amazing show!! Saw them at The Norva in 2010 with me middle son. It has sent us on to become concert fanatics. My youngest added on a bit after that. We love SwitchFoot and were so excited they were doing the anniversary tour here! The band was great and came in to be with us fans a few times. Including climbing up to the top deck!!
Teddy put his heart and soul into his performance, the band was incredible. It was crazy how he was able to sign autographs and sing all at the same time... with all the bras being thrown at him I thought I was at a Drake concert. 10 out of 10, will catch a Teddy Swim show again. Matt Hansen opened for Teddy and let me just say he was impressive, can't wait to see this guy put out some hits.
Jay Bird was absolutely amazing this evening! I cried during Where I’ve Been! His soul touches all of us when he sings. I’ve waited three years to see them, had tickets to multiple shows that never worked out. The juice was so worth the squeeze! And to whomever the hot guy on the rail was that was a storm trooper for his buddies wedding…hope to see you at another show ;)
Had yet to give the interrupters a listen before tonight. Not the biggest ska fan and was there for Frank Turner. They were so much fun with an infectious stage presence and fan base I found myself moving around and wanting more. Big SHOUT out to my friend Kristi up from NC for gifting me her extra ticket. ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Saw a shirt that said girls invented punk rock….
First time for me to see Frank Turner who I’m a new but huge fan. found him via Tim Barry/Avail. So good. Friend Kristi from NC gave me a ticket. Impressed how the NORVA has evolved into allowing for circle pits. I was informed that there is a way to monitor them to be safe according to someone who manages music events at other local venues. This is her photo.
Set It Off never fails to perform a fantastic show!
They know how to engage with their crowd, and have proven yet again how much they look out for fans. Last night, a fan was having a hard time, and Cody Carson stopped the show and helped the fan exit safely. This band truly cares for their fans, and I can not wait for them to come back!
The concert was spectacular and incredible! The open act Tweet was amazing , such a beautiful voice , and high energy as she sent our positive vibes! Got a chance to meet with her after the show as well! She was very down to earth and genuinely friendly. Ella Mai was outstanding and her performance was Fire!!!! So glad I had an opportunity to meet her and take a picture with her! She sung so beautifully as always! I had an awesome time! The audience was positive and great vibes!
Opening night of the new tour in Norfolk, INCREDIBLE!! Amazing energy from both the band…and the crowd! Amigo the Devil was entertaining as hell and got the place hyped for Clutch. JP’s on a riser which is perfect cause that dude is still crushing it! Neil continues to be the the front man we all need….and he never ceases to amaze. Dan The Man Maines is masterful with the bass as always and Tim has a new vigor that I have seen in years!! Don’t miss them when they come near!!
Saying this concert was everything would be an understatement… I’ve been a long time fan since “Lay your head on my pillow” to “I wanna dance tonight” to “Still Ray!” Seeing him after all these years and as my last concert before COVID shut down was the best bday gift! And that moon jacket, tres magnifique!
It was off the chain! My 2nd time seeing the Waste live! Just as good as the last time! Great, versatile set list, packed energy, powerful guitar twin riffs, fast drumming, consistent vocals, and commendable crowd that was full of relentless moshing. Much love to the bands that played tonight! Thx you all for an amazing night!
Absolutely outstanding. Every band gave it their all. Stick to Your Guns earned a lot of new fans that night. Me included. Motionless has Beartooth never disappoint. They always bring the energy and the fans give it right the fuck back. I see them every time they are in state. Love them. Can’t wait to do this again. Security were fucking assholes though. If they come again do it at The National! The NorVa security were absolute jerks.
Amazing as always but I would like to have heard more of the Creatures Album (every time I see them they Encore Immaculate Misconception=FAVE EVER, but not this time, oh well) OG MIW 4 Life! This band stays true to their roots over time and that is why they are my favorite EVER! Make me cry and lose my voice every single time. The emotional experience at MIW shows is transcendental for me. I have seen them 10+ times and every damn time I am crying uncontrollably screaming my lungs out, completely and utterly losing my shit in the best way!
Craziest concert I’ve ever been too. People were pushed up against me all around, some instances I thought I was gonna have to fight someone. But I was like right in front, and when Ferg got on up on the fence in front of us I was probably only 2-3 feet away. Closest I’ve ever been to an artist. Played basically all the songs I wanted to hear.
Falling in Reverse put on one hell of a show. They came back on stage when they didn't have to after the audience was cheering for one more song and played quite a bit. They honestly care for there fans and Ronnie still sang exceptionally for being sick! I brought my little brother to his first concert and we had a blast. We will be seeing them again when they come back to Virginia. I just hope that they choose a different venue for next year. I am even more of a fan after this event and this will be something me and my little brother never forget. Good memories. Thank you for such a great show.
The venue didn't know what they was doing, had no answers except ONE WORKER... Sold us side stage but only a handful was allowed to hide behind the speakers. One worker put his hands in my face, and another cussed me out for asking about the vip package. Falling in reverse and ice nine kills made it up by their performance. Both of them doing the most for their fans and giving the best show. I give falling in reverse 5 stars but give the venue only 3. My husband also left because of how some venue members treated him. So there goes $240 out the door.
It was super great. I would totally see them again!! I met a guy there that was super chill and helped protect me and another girl from the mosh pit 😂 We exchanged numbers. But the concert itself was AMAZING. Even with Ronnie being sick he sung BEAUTIFULLY! And he’s such a goof on stage! 10/10
I went to this show to see the opening band. BUT... The Magpie Salute is officially my favorite ‘new to me’ band of the year. Their music is just magical. It’s now mid-October and I’m still listening to their High Water 1 cd every time I’m in my car. Don’t pass up the chance to see them. It’s truly something special
