Wayyyyy too packed. So packed you can barely enjoy it since we're packed in like sardines. Like they oversold the tickets or people snuck in but you couldn't move, dance, just packed like sardines. Taylor is an incredible performer though and the whole bands performance and vocals were amazing. But bigger venue or less tickets sold next time
The show was awesome 🤘 All the bands were great 🤘 It's been years since I've seen Lacuna Coil and I'm so glad I was there 🤘 AXTY opened the show was awesome I'm definitely a new fan of them And Escape the Fate Rocked out as well before Lacuna Coil brought back memories with the old songs and with the new ones 🤘
Just got back from shredding the pit at Descendents last night with NOBRO & Frank Turner & The Sleepless Souls. Took my bro from another mother, Julio, and we went full send 🤘. Crowd was gnarly, energy was insane, and every track hit like a kickflip on concrete. Can’t even pick a favorite—just pure punk chaos and good vibes all night. Memory locked in. #SkateLife #PunkForever #FullSend
Sublime concert! Went with my travel bestie, Angela McDonald a huge Alexandra Kay fan. In prep for the concert, I had been listening to Alexandra on Pandora. She did not disappoint. I am a true fan now. What a powerhouse voice in such a lovely package. Purchased 2 CD's and was able to get my photo taken with Alexandra. She was so gracious and kind. Her opening act Chase McDaniel was a gem of new talent find. Love, love, loved and totally enjoyed this concert event.
Chase's performance was sublime. He made me a follower and a fan that night. I got to meet him after his set before Alexandra Kay performed. She was wonderful too! I went to meet him to get a signed CD for me and friend. He wasn't selling any CD's only T-Shirts. So I bought a T-Shirt that he signed, but I left my camera on the table with my friend when he offered a photo. So Chase kindly took a photo with his phone and posted it on his instagram page. What a sweetheart and a yummy, living doll!
It was my first concert I had ever been to, but that was the most fun I had ever had! Livingston is a very down to earth person, and he put on an amazing show. I spent seven and a half hours on a drawing of him that I gave to him at the concert. He got it, complimented it, and showed it to the rest of the crowd! I truly had so much fun!! My mom came with me, and she had been to a few other concerts before, but she said that that was the most fun one she’d been to. He really engages with the crowd, and that just made the concert so much more special! I really hope to see him in concert again soon!
I wish it was clear to where you entered for this show. In the past line up was in the restaurant. I had a fast pass for this show and it was not clear when fast pass people were able to go in much less how to traverse the 2nd floor to the bottom floor. The restaurant bar was highly understaffed and slow. The bartenders that evening were doing their best.
The Wallflowers were flawless. Amazing show.
Fantastic show! Amazing musicianship! Great banter! What more could you want?? Both Jon and Eric were phenomenal, and an absolute joy! Jon playing piano?? Literally magical. Highly recommend the show. It was such a lovely and wonderful night. And they did a meet and greet afterwards, which was so awesome of them, and they’re so nice!
From beginning to the end, the concert was Awesome!! The two opening bands were great. By far, Sleeping With Sirens blew the roof off the place! I absolutely love Kellin Quinn and what he represents and how down to earth he is. Everything he talked about and the meaning behind his words were spot on. Totally hit home for me. I will definitely see them every and any time they come to New Orleans.
Thanks SWS. You guys Rock.

My Amazing Beautiful Handsome Soupmate whom I love with everything within my existence finally seen this tour ( he’s seen them many many times & it’s his fav band besides Tool ) we’d met 3/21/2016 … they were exquisite, the visual itself was an e****c fantastical celebration for me & my senses , who’d obviously had been invited to Skinny Puppy’s orgasmic masquerade as their plus one .. I’m just curious if people read these reviews !! That description was not a colossal prevarication I promise
Mugshot was a really good opener, super high energy. Dying Wish was honestly something else though. I was really surprised at how good they sounded. The vocalist is also super chill, I got to talk to her after the show. Currents is one of those bands I had heard a lot about but hadn't listen to, and I really see the appeal. They're one of those where it's stupidly heavy, while having really catchy melodies. I had a really nice conversation with the vocalist after the show, and I got some pics. He is genuinely one of the nicest people I've ever met. He gave great advice on how to become a better vocalist, and I really appreciate that. The Amity Affliction made everyone feel like one big family, which gave a different level of happiness. The only other band to do for me that was Coheed and Cambria. I got a picture with Ahren from The Amity Affliction, and was able to thank him for their music saving my life.
The show was amazing but people were passing out from heat exhaustion. The waters they handed it weren't cold at all and when I asked for ice to cool down bee I was on the verge of passing out myself they tried to remove me from my spot at the barricade and I refused to leave. I stuck ice down my shirt and a girl behind me took the rest to cool of herself also. The venue needs to do something about the air conditioning, it's a safety hazard for such a small venue with so many people.
Everything about Jagwar Twin is amazing! He is an incredible artist! I met him while waiting outside of the House of Blues and after his act. Jagwar Twin deserves to be the main act! The first act, Lisa Heller, was great too. Her songs were meaningful, including her song about mental health. One thing I love about small venue concerts are the interactions with fans. My mom went with me and she liked it. We had so much fun! I’m most likely to go back.
Thank you so much for the performances!
The Warning surpassed already high expectations after seeing them opening for Halestorm. One thing that jumped out at me was how Dani-the lead guitarist elevated her skill set on guitar and at the same time sang powerfully. It's only been a few months since the last time I saw them but they seemed to have progressed in the individual talent area and cohesion as a band. Both opening acts were super talented although Holy Wars blew me away. It took a lot of attitude/ Hutzpah to have bands of this caliber to open. I would certainly see them again on their own. Thank you for putting together such an amazing line up and thanks to all the members of the bands that played their souls out and left it all out on the stage.
I’ve been seeing them since 1991. Back then they were a band in there own large.
OHGR is still one of the top artists that delivers a great message with sick sound behind him with incredible stage performance.
Hopefully he will tour with solo project.
The band “SKINNY PUPPY” needs to be put in the HALL OF FAME. A legendary bank that will be missed. Very proud to be a follower for 22 years
I have traveled around the world quite a few times wearing my Skinny Puppy shirt and always got compliments for it.
Thanks for all of those amazing shows and music
Peace and love,

Not ready to accept that last night's show was the last time I'll ever get to see Skinny Puppy. It was a brilliant experience from beginning to end. Lead Into Gold were amazing as well. Plus I got to meet Paul Barker and have him sign his newest CD. He was such a sweetheart. I've met a few of my musical heroes and I think he may have been the nicest and most down to earth of them all. If you're unsure about getting tickets for this tour, please reconsider. You won't regret it.
All of the bands were amazing and Lorna shore did not disappoint. Every song was immaculate. Will Ramos was so kind and you could feel the gratitude pouring off of him. He was also protective of the crowd and people in the pit. He was making sure we were all safe and telling us to take care of each other. It just made everything sweeter. I cried through the pain remains series. They had incredible merch. This was my second show, and I will be going to a third. Love love love this band and all the others prior.
I really enjoyed Collie Budz and the energy that he brought to the House of Blues! I first saw him there the last time he was here around 2006-2007. I’ve been waiting to see him since. I just wish he came this way more often. His opening act Arise Roots was also amazing!! I would definitely see both again.
Concert was absolutely amazing. It was 99,000 degrees in the tiny room they had us in but that didn’t stop these men from bringing in the spirit. Both Jonathan’s are truly anointed and this is one concert that no one should miss. I was so blessed by this experience that I’m still marinating in the spirit 24 hours later.
Jessie put on a great show, he was super fun and very entertaining. The only thing that wasn’t good was how long we had waited for him to come on, not only did we get there at 5:15 to wait in line to get in once we got in we had to wait another 3 hours for him to come on the doors opened up at 7 and he did not come on until 10. But overall a very fun concert
