Axwell

Last time i saw Axwell perform solo he was headlining Sunday night at Coachella this year! it was an amazing show. This last show at the palladium went for almost 3 hours and he played a ridiculously fun set full of oldies and new bangers! The Venue allows for maximum entertainment and enjoyment! So very glad i made it to this show!

Disorganized. Sound system and coat check sucked!!

If I had signed up to go to a regular electronic dance music concert, I would have been impressed with this show. However, the hype and previews led me to believe there would be more of a story line and/or spectacle than they provided. Still would have given 3 stars if the line and bar were managed better. The entry line was still down the block at 11:30pm for patrons with tickets in hand, and the bar took 15 minutes to get a drink. The ballroom itself was beautiful, and the 3 minutes of opera was interesting, but I expected a lot more.

THIS WAS BEYOND AWESOME. it litterally was the best night of my life. everything went smoothly and everyone had a great time. the drinks were great, the music was bumpin, the sound quality was awesome, the location was perfect. it was all around great. axwell rocks. i named my car after him that night. what an adventure.

Start to finish amaZing set. Music was great all night long. Party went from 10-4am as it should. Openers got the crowd hyped and once Axwell took over the the place erupted each time the bass dropped.

Axwell was great. His mixes were very good and the people really felt the vibe.

this guy is nuts....he kept it so interesting by changing song every minute or so, his selection and transitions were amazing and it kept on getting even more crazy as the night progressed - impressive considering it was a 3 hour set. axwell you are a legend.

Absolutely amazing one of the best shows I've seen.

Best DJ set that I have ever witnessed. Great environment, amazing music, can't ask for more.

COULDN'T STOP DANCING!! the music was great, crowd a bit young. but overall an amazing night.

This show rocked!!!! I had a great night and so did all my friends. Awesome concert.

Hammerstein Ballroom is always a pleasure of a venue to party in. Axwell did a great set and the party went on till almost 3 am! A great EDM experience!

axwell's set was great, but I was disappointed that there were no performances as promoted in the trailer. only some weird "opera" singer came out in the beginning - most of the reason I went was because I thought it would be different than just a club set type show. regardless, the music was amazing as were the lights so not a completely lost night.

Awesome show, cant wait for the next Act in late March!!! Venue was amazing...

Axwell knows how to do right. Amazing opening and overall great set. Wish Sebastian would have joined in.

I've wanted to Axwell for the longest time now, as well as the Swedish trio but Axwell above all else. Glad I got the chance to see the maestro in the City, what more perfect atmosphere than a BALLROOM with a glimmering-all-night chandelier and incredible lasers? I didn't see as much "theatrical" aspects as I wanted, but I've heard Axwell never disappoints and he sure delivered, as well as supporters No_ID and Deniz Koyu. NYC does it right every time. See you all at Act 2.

Amazing. Need more Axwell and Swedish House Mafia in New York City.

This event was extremely over priced for what it actually became. This was hyped up so much that I am actually upset that i believed this to be something that it wasnt. I could have gone to pacha or any other techno venue to see what happened. I left early and could not take the horrible music and crowd. It sounded like i was back at MSG for swedish house mafia. I would like my money back.

Axwell and his supporting acts were great! Had such an epic night! I was however expecting to see a lot more cirque de soliel type of acts on the stage during the sets. Looking forward to the next show!

Overall an unforgettable production that was visually and audibly amazing. My only sight disappointment was the lack of story line within the show.

Everything about the event was unique and unforgettable. The vibe was incredible, No ID, Thomas Gold, and Axwell were amazing performers and really got the crowd going wild, but in a good way. Definitely worth the 80$. The opera singers, dancers, and other performers were pretty cool too, I've never been to an event like that. Can't wait for the next one!

Amazing lights and sound. Obviously the largest investment was made there and it paid off. The "other" acts could have been much better integrated into the concert experience but on the whole a great show!

Amazing show with the ever amazing Axwell...couldn't have asked for more.

Great event, great lighting and sound, truly a show not just music

Event was hyped up to be some sort of out of this world electronic music/opera hybrid. In reality, it was just a pop-house show with very cool lighting. Nothing really out of the ordinary and Axwell's set was absolutely terrible.

One of the best shows I have ever been to. AMAZING set, light show, opera performance, stage set-up! So much creativity. Thomas Gold was great as usual.

It was great that Axwell headlined. I had an awesome time and would go again but I don't think it was anything near Cirque du Soleil. It felt like any other show and it was too hyped up. I also expected a story line and there was none. There is lots of room for improvement and it has great potential.

nothing special compared to any headlining house show (trapeze, lights, etc). but very good performances by thomas gold and axwell

Absolutely ridiculous atmosphere gold was sick and axwell just lit it up

It was really awesome to go to an event and embrace house music like it should be. I am sick of warehouse parties with rave puppies and DJ's who simply play music to a bunch of LEDs. There was an incredible amount of lasers and moving lights, the theatrical elements of the opera singers, the contortionist, the dancers, the aerialists, the giant disco ball and custom made chandelier, and to top it off, it even snowed at the end of the night. Truly an amazing experience.

The light, venue, and music were all amazing. The few opera-like 'acts' that were included we're entertaining. I did expect a bit more of actual opera elements be incorporated but the music was the most important to me. The overdelivered with the music and lights!!!

Axwell was awesome. Hammerstein ballroom is a great venue forth is type of event. Size and layout work well. The "opera" portion of the event was a bit overhyped..

It was fun, but the organization in terms of getting people in the door was atrocious, with some waiting 2.5 hours in a line outside after the music had already started. Thank goodness it wasn't horribly cold. As for the show, I loved the lasers, and the music was fun--for the first 3 hours. After that, everyone was getting bored--even the die hard ravers. The NY Times review has it dead on: the theatrical portion we were promised materialized for a brief promising minute--and then it ended, instead of going where it should have gone. The music wasn't good enough to stand on its own, and that's the most important thing of all. I may go again in the future, but my expectations will be drastically lowered.

very good, including sound system and lighting. too many dudes though

Best concert aince ultra a lot of room to move perfect to rave i love roseland ballroom

AXWELL! The biggest DJ in the world puts on the best show in the world. He rocked the house for THREE straight hours, no breaks, no intermissions, playing all the biggest hits and bombs along the way. There was no chance to slow down for a bathroom break or to get a drink because you didn't want to miss the next big hit. The lights were great, the confetti was great and the energy was unrivaled by any act. Only downside was all the 18 year olds making it amateur hour. Definitely go see Axwell and the rest of the Swedish House Mafia and do your best to ensure it's 21 to enter. SAVE THE WORLD!

It was Axwell's night but the opening by Thomas Gold was that was truly amazing. As a matter of fact, I've seen Axwell play at Webster Hall and somehow I found that performance better. This past Saturday I truly fell in love with Thomas Gold. This review shouldn't be about the music though but about the show as a whole. And it was really fantastic. I've been to Roseland a number of times to see performances of Armin van Buuren, PvD, Kaskade and the likes and I know it's got huge capacity (comparing to other venues in NYC), phenomenal sound system (this time I lost my hearing for a day!) and interesting visual effects. Roseland Ballroom should be used more often to host big DJs - places like PACHA are usually oversold and way too crowded which makes the experience not so enjoyable. One flaw - bottled water poured into plastic cups. Hello? It's a house music show where you move and dance n jump all night long! How are you supposed to do that with a cup full of water?

Axwell always puts on a good show and I just came from Masquearde Motel and didnt think anything could possibly compare. But he proved me wrong again. His music was great, i loved every set especially prutata! i love the stage and the floor at Roseland ballroom it is by far my favorite venue in NYC. The staff is so helpful and nice, everything was perfect!

I've seen Axwell spin 4 times, and this was absolutely the best show that I've been to! He played every single song I could have asked for, and I keep remembering more songs that he played. He had the crowd going WILD and i didn't stop moving for a single second - even couldn't stop when he was finished at 4am. He's my absolute favorite DJ, not to mention he is SEXY! I can't wait to see him again! Only recommendation - please play a longer set next time! 3 hours really isn't enough!

Axwell is a true beast in terms of keeping the crowd in it at all times and knowing how to put on an unforgettable performance.

he is amazing. venue has too much base and destroys the sound quality unfortunately.
