The people that were scheduled to perform on the tour were good. However problem was that the opening acts had too much performance time as if they were headliners

J Cole was incredible. He understands his fan base and comes with a flare and passion that blows you away immediately. If you are a loyal fan to his music, you will defenitely enjoy yourself but even newcomers will feel his flow and style. Really a great concert and the fact that he stays after to shake hands is incredible. Newport Hall was also a small revenue so your only a few feet away from him which makes the experience more personal. The man deserves everything he gets, Cole World!

Aye man on no fan groupie stuff..Cole came out and did his thang, it wasnt a sold out event but he performed like it was. I feel sorry for those who aint hip to him yet and didnt come out to make it a sold out event..his whole team was on point, even the master on the keys was nice with it... i got alot from the event and i salute the Energy he used to deliver...

So it started out as a surprise for my husband. I don't listen to much rap anymore. I like JCole, but I don't know any of the songs really or the lyrics. Well let me tell you...it was awesome! Even though I didn't know any songs I had so much fun. There was so much energy in the room and he constantly talked to all of us and explained songs and literally did a ton of songs. The stage was neat and went with his entrance, the lighting was perfect too! Would Love to see him again, but next time I'm practicing the lyrics!!!

He is amazing on stage, the way he connects with the audience is amazing. He even said at the beginning of the concert that is not just going to sing the hit songs like every other rapper does then leaves. You can just feel how much passion that was in this guy. He played songs from every album, such an unforgettable night. i paid the least amount for a ticket and got put in section 214 it was surprisingly a great view for the price I can hear and see everything clearly although he was far away I can see everything on the Jumbotron. Without being biased I can honestly say that this was an amazing performance

The show was absolutely amazing! Cole was incredible as always and both stages were setup beautifully! The sounds and lights were out of this world and the setup was very creative. It's soo crazy that Cole is selling out arenas, just 5 short years ago I was seeing him at Universal Studios Mardi Gras.

He is a true entertainer. I hate when artist work one part of the stage. J. Cole was on center stage and made sure to rotate so that all sides could view his face. He always does the full album which I love. Sometimes my favorite songs are not the hit songs. And the blast from the past always gets the crowd hype. There wasn't a long wait in between performers. BAS did amazing. Wish his set was longer. He didn't perform Don't Front but I still loved his set. Ari Lennox did so great! You HAVE TO BE ON TIME to see the full show. DREAMVILLE does not work on CPT.

If you've never been to a J. Cole concert, you're missing out on not only a music experience but also a very important conversation. Cole speaks to the crowd in a way that makes you feel like you're kicking it back in his living room speakinh about many topics from racism/ political injustices, and police brutality in the US to finding love and cherishing those small moments with you significant other. He opens up your mind, if you're willing to listen, to a way of life and experiences that we all might not understand.

I loved watching J. Cole's performance. He is a selfless man and I love it. His entrance was awesome and he performed extra songs for us he is not like other artists that almost seem to want to rush out of there. J. Cole took his time, he performed, he spoke to us all and said some wise words. I love that he took the time to also give out some autographs to his fans. Bottom line he was humble and he took his time. Love you J. Cole!!!

It was worth every penny to see J Cole up close. I thought some parts of the concert might sound rehearsed or lack energy, since he has been touring since the beginning of June. Well, he shattered all my expectations. His delivery was passionate. Every word he said sounded sincere. I definitely felt that emotional connection between an artist and a fan at this concert. Keep spreading your wisdom through your quality music, J. Cole! You have gained my loyalty. Proud of be part of this Cole World!
