Agora Theater & Ballroom

Been over 5 years since the last time I saw Babymetal! Kinda crazy. But everyone was awesome to see, from Jason Richardson, Babymetal & Dethklok (didn't even know they were a real band till recently 😃) Babymetal knows how to bring their energy and Kawaii quirkiness 😝. Jason shredded it up and tuned it down real nice & heavy. Dethklok slayed the whole venue, everyone went wild like it was a huge regular touring band! Makes sense since it was a part of a lot our childhoods or past favorite Adult Swim cartoons. It was dope/surreal seening the show play on the screen with the live music 😵. Would definitely recommend and I'd love to see them all again!

Courtney Barnett was amazing ! best concert I've been to yet. She played a great mix of new and old music and i enjoyed every song. She used the space well and it was overall a perfect show. She played with Lucy Dacus who I am also a fan of. At the end of the show, i got courtneys guitar pick !!

Mod is amazing both in concert and as a human being!! He took so much time to talk to me at the CLE show and truly listened and engaged in our convo, gave me a big hug and told me to go stand in the front row!!! It was one of the best nights of my life and it wasn’t my first time seeing Mod live—he is legit the best I’ve seen and I’ve been going to concerts since age 8!! He gives his absolute all into his shows, and his positivity and love shines through, making the vibe amazing! Plus, the cost of his tickets—-both times I got front row—$25—what other artist is willing to do that!??? And he could be charging $500+ for those tix but he truly loves his supporters and what he’s up there doing! Don’t miss him!!! He’s the very best ! Thanks again, Mod!!!!💚

Agora Theater staff was pleasant and helpful. Kept things orderly for the safety of everyone in attendance. Sabrina was magnificent although you could tell she didn’t want to play here. The environment can be dangerously hot and suffocating in general admission, and the flow of water being distributed is not well coordinated enough. Overall I enjoyed my experience, definitely need to work on a few safety concerns but great overall.

The venue, layout and staff were top notch, excellent and the show started right on time without delay. FLA was awesome (as usual) with killer projected images, but unfortunately, I thought their mix was a bit too loud without the necessary levels required for separating and articulating the various channels (love their layered synth lines), so the tracks seemed somewhat muddy compared to how I know them to be. Regardless, fantastic performance by Leeb, Fulber & crew! Numan’s mix was slightly softer but with spot on board levels… audio quality was absolutely amazing! His tracks were also very well composed and arranged. The whole set was professionally choreographed and presented… very fluid and sophisticated with superb lighting and visual effects. For 65yrs old, Gary just flat out rocked! Al was, well… just Al being his notoriously captivating and talented self lol You know, his usual loud, proud and in your face aggressive high octane assault that cranks to “13” and stays there the entire set... wildly entertaining, nonetheless. He did nod to Gary’s early influence in his career and brought him out for a Fad Gadget cover as an encore. Well done, Al! Overall, fantastic show, definitely worth the time and price of admission.

Legitimately one of the worst crowds I’ve ever been apart of. Incredibly rude even during very quiet parts of the show. Thankfully he was graceful enough to not get bogged down by it. I don’t know if it’s coming out of Covid but the loud conversations at shows lately have been a real bummer. I’ve often wondered while people would spend so much on transportation, parking, tickets, drinks, merch, dress up - all just to have loud, stupid fucking conversations. I suppose it’s indicative of the level of inequality where people have money and time to blow on something they don’t even care about, alienating actual fans from enjoying themselves. Do better Cleveland. Great performance regardless

I'm unfamiliar with the opener Capra (hardcore band) they sounded alright, not my drink of choice but okay. Currents came on which is who I came for, but they were missing their lead singer. I don't know what happen, so the screamer Christian Pulgarin had to take the vocal throne for himself Saturday. And he KILL IT! At first it was disappointing not having their full potential/sound, especially since he had to hold back during the 1st half, as to not over work himself. But that 2nd half was as good as you'd want it to be!! Then Killswitch did there thing as good as I expected from a band with their following. I'm not as familiar with Killswitch or a big fan, but damn..😳 should've been! They're show was 🔥 and now I'm definitely a fan 🤘

The venue was the perfect size I really enjoyed how not crowded it was. The sound was fantastic. The only issue I had was how much I didn’t see security around and the smoking area was extremely easy to access. If someone with an automatic weapon wanted to go in there and shoot up the place they 100% could with no issue. There was one security car in the parking lot but I didn’t feel that was enough

Both bands were fantastic. WASP knocked it out of the ballpark. The show lived up to all the hype. I had the opportunity to meet Blackie at the VIP Meet & Greet. He was the ultimate gentleman and was very gracious to all the VIP guests. I would definitely recommend to anyone sitting on the fence about purchasing tickets for the show or the Meet & Greet to jump off and do it!

Couldn't have asked for a better 1st concert. They were absolutely fantastic. My love for them will be forever, no matter what direction they take their sound. I wish I never moved from the bottom floor cuz then I would've been able to see Johnny really close. However, from where I finally stayed at the view of the stage and the band was optimal. Great performance guys. I will definitely see yall again whenever yall come back through Cleveland!!!

I've been wanting to see him for a couple years, and I'm glad I finally got the chance. The prepared material was great. The part at the end where the audience was shouting out topics didn't do it for me, but I've seen his posts on Facebook and knew it would come at some point. I'd gladly see him again.

Everyone brought there A Game!!! This was the first time seeing all bands expect 3rd for Bad Omens. Saw Bad Omens since the '10 Years in Black' @ Agora '16 amazing show too. Especially Cournety of Spiritbox, from my understanding she was either recently sick or had vocal issues before the show. She had to rest I between songs but they've never canceled and done plan on it! Yet Cournety was still distorting the sound barrier in the room. I have heard of all the bands but I only can talk about Bad Omens and to an extent Spiritbox. But everyone was vibing at the end! 'Stray from the Path' did a great job hyping up the crowd with energetic atmosphere. as well as a dressing some of the elephants in the room 👏 'Bad Omens' took that momentum and threw in big choruses varying tones and the best 👌 of Bad Omens Breakdowns. The torch was transfered to 'Spiritbox', so that we may contact to the "otherside" using Courtney's lows as a conduit! But she has one other worldly singing range from low growls to angelic melodies. Those lows are indeed worth for a vocal tool or weapons btw 🖤 ❤ Then of course the headliners 'Underoath' had taking a bit of everything and throw us through another ride!

I've never seen Annie or St. Vincent live and wanted to see what the buzz was about. I was completely blown away. The stage show complimented the music and enhanced the overall vibe. Annie is a great guitar player and lately she's suppressed her leads to fit the sound of recent albums, but this show allowed her enough space to show off her licks. The group was in lockstep and sound was fantastic. I'd like to go see another show on the tour👍

The show was at the Cleveland Agora, this was a sold out show with a buzz in the air of excitement. The show started out with an overdriven audio issue during Light the Torch set and was resolved a few songs into their set. August Burns Red played shortly after and had an awesome set, they played a few songs off their new album and sime of old. They alone could have been the headliner. Killswitch Engage took the stage with energy and passion as the performed older songs and the new. Jesse's voice sounded awesome. The guitar riffs and lyrics brought back many memories. When Howard took the Stage near the end the audience loved every note he belted out. It was sad to see the concert end but yet we witnessed an amazing night of music. This is a must see tour.

Completly Amazing. They are always fantastic. Crazy People really cool in the crowl....in fact, the craziest that I 've never seen before! Both band were so great and I Will always remember their energy and their excellent attitude toward their fans.. I liked to see Sabaton's singer to give his glasses to a kid and I liked that we got the chance to take pictures with Hammer Fall! So generous from them after an intensive show like that! Thank you if you read me! Thanks everybody too for that exeptional moment all together!

Fun day all around! Parking was easy, and they allowed our very mellow "tail-gating" -- we drank a couple beers and ate a snack among the three cars and four humans, while sitting in camp chairs. Entry was easy. They carded us and searched bags while we were still in line, so getting in was a piece of cake. Show was amazing. High-energy and super tight. Set list varied a bit from other shows I've seen on this tour, so that was refreshing. After the show, most of both the opening band (Lawrence Arms) and Bad Religion were outside by the backstage door to shake hands, sign autographs, take photos, and talk. Really great experience.

This was a great show! 7th time seeing Modest Mouse and heard Mass Gothic for the first time. I fell in love with Mass Gothic and listen to them quite often. They mix joy and anguish in a way that is rare and unparalleled! Modest Mouse were also great, although they (Isaac) played a not-so-listenable version of Whale Song. Shit In Your Cut was a standout, as was Tiny Cities. They played 2 or 3 separate encores, meaning left the stage, came back, left, came back, etc. Pretty sure Isaac was hammered.

Everybody was good except for Sleeping with Sirens. Their sound wasn't good compared to the openers before them. And Good Charlotte was excellent. The Dose sounded like Korn but a lot better in my opinion and Knuckle Puck put on a good show also the audience was booming when Knuckle Puck and Good Charlotte came on I was totally surprised that the audience wasn't to fond of Sleeping with Sirens since there were plenty of people wearing their shirts. But Sleeping with Sirens is the worst performance I've seen at a concert and I thought Kayne West was bad they did not sound anywhere near as good as me and plenty of people thought.

I don’t go to a lot of shows anymore. Admittedly, at 34, I’m becoming a grumpy old man who would rather listen to music at home while drinking 1-too-many IPAs. But, I will now get off my couch every time The War on Drugs comes within 150 miles of Columbus, Ohio. I like a lot of music but have recently found that not everyone I listen to can put on a good show. These guys did. Music, lights, energy; everything was on point. Also, the Agora Theatre was a perfect setting for such a night. Last night’s show was the perfect way to celebrate my 14th anniversary. Thanks!
