Spirit West Coast

The show was outstanding, the advertising leading up to the show was confusing for a first timer. The venue could have had more signage as to directions to where things were located. Overall a very good experience!

The best venue for Spirit West Coast that I ve been too! Easy access, affordable, great parking and perfect weather....Loved it!

All the bands were great, MercyMe was wonderful, funny, touching. Why 2 stages though? I could not see both from my seat, so I missed something I had paid for.

Just my second time attending a Christian worship concert and it was everything and more. Great music, great bands and I'm glad I was there to experience it with others.

We loved the show everything was wonderful except the wait to purchase food was awful Food was ok but the wait time was terrible Only bummer otherwise it was wonderful and I will definitely be coming back

All performers were amazing. Holy Spirit was in the house. Music was so good

The entire evening was awesome, you wouldn't want to miss anything!! The songs, the messages, the speakers!!!

Excellent music. Great variety and best value for general ticket prices. Family atmosphere for concert venue.

Played all his hits and some his collabs. Amazing show overall

The bands were awesome, Toby Mac put on a great show

All the artists were amazing! Loved SWC!!!! Will go again next year!

Started out with ample easy parking! Then a short walk to my seat. It was a night of talented musicians, singers. Yes then was more talent and awe inspiring performances. It just kept going. There was nothing but joy and music. Fantastic

Loved it but sounds system is sub standard can't hear what people are saying

The event started on time, ran smoothly, and didn't drag. Much better than last year when is was so unorganized.

Had an amazing time of worship. The artists were genuine. Enjoyed their testimony of faith.

Awesome worship concert! Highlights were Crowder & Toby Mac

This is a solid Christian music festival....lots of acts for many tastes. At our event it was For All Seasons, Blanca, Jeremy Camp, Phil Wickham, Matthew West, Jordan Feliz, Mercy Me

I always love and get encouraged by all the people that you see in all ages that share the same love for Christ. I love to hear the testimonies that help you to get to know the individual more on a personal level and I got that from Jordan Feliz, and NF. It was awesome. My husband and I drove 2 hours to basically see NF and he was only on for 3 quick songs and they didn't let him sing another one even though the crowd was wanting more.! Super frustrating when all the other bands had time to introduce there whole band and couldn't let NF do another song. Big dissapointment. NF even went on a few hours early and I'm glad we didnt miss him and we were sitting in our seats but I was hoping to hear more

This was the best concert I have attended. The bands were fantastic, and the music was uplifting, I had so much fun dancing and singing along. This was my first Spirit West Coast concert, and I am definitely in for future Spirit concerts. Concert ran over, so I had to leave before the final band MercyMe.

The line up was powerful! Gods energy and strength was in the house!! Jeremy Camp shared his story as did Mercyme! They connected the entire crowd! NF was new to the line up and brought a modern day vibe to Christian music. Pretty cool! Everyone need to come and experience the rich and faithful night full of worshipping folks! My kids first live concert! How cool, rocking out to Christian music with my kids! Doesn't get any better than that!!!

Many vendors and musicians were fantastic. All in all a great time.

I loved the music it was amazing, wonderful crowd of people at this concert.

What a wonderful event. The performers were fabulous and they shared their heart with their own testamonies. Even the acts I did not know by name were excellent. Look forward to going every year. The price for tickets is a BARGAIN.

The entire show was absolutely amazing. The Holy Spirit filled the pavilion.

The bands were great. The people were friendly and polite. It was a great concert, with one exception: The amplified base drum was too much. Especially Jeremy Camp. My friend had to leave. The base pounding his chest was unbearable. Several people around me were also complaining about it. The really sad part is that it drowned out the guitars. You could see them playing but could not hear them. The people in the mixing station were just not listening. They should have removed their earplugs and adjusted the mix to enhance all of the instruments. I could feel the tension in my chest for two days.

Had a great time at this event with a group of family and friends. Event had multiple Christian acts some of which we knew well and others not so much. Overall really enjoyed the event and felt God's presence throughout. That said, event went really long and we had to leave before seeing one of the headliners. Organizers had a hard time keeping things on track which was part scheduling, part logistics, and some out of their control. Bands must stick to their allotted time. I don't mind a bit of preaching, but if a band decides to do that then they should understand that cuts into their music time rather than thinking they get additional time.

Loved, Loved LOVED Spitit West Coast. From the artists, the speakers and everyone praising God across the arena, felt a little bit of heaven.

We like the second stage added that was away from the main stage. I would like to see it start a little earlier and have a little more time in between the two stages. Spirit West Coast is always awesome and special to us.

Thank you for an amazing day evening truly a blessing

My wife and I are huge Kari Jobe fans. We are from the Southeast and are always looking for Christian based events/Concerts. These don't seem to occur on the west coast very often. The lineup of artists for this Concert were FANTASTIC!!! It was such a blessing to see so many people come together and worship!!! We hope there are more events like this in the near future. The only complaint we had was that there seemed to be some miscommunication about the VIP package that we purchased. The event staff was not clear/informed on where we were to enter the event. Instesd of sending us to the VIP entrance,they sent us to the main gate entrance where we had to stand in line for an hour,when we should have been inside the gate getting our passes and orientation. Even after that mishap,we had a very wonderful time.Hopefully next year this problem can be solved.

We arrived late to see MercyMe and drove almost two hours each way. That drive was so worth it, I love their songs and lyrics and Bart is a great speaker. My 99 year old Aunt was with us and she enjoyed it so very much.

This is a must see for all Christian to go. All the bands were fantastic.

It was an awesome concert and I hope to do it again next year. The gold VIP made it even more special

Amazing night! Tauren Wells, Danny Gokey, Phil whickham, Kari Jobe and mercyme were all outstanding! I dint get to see some of the others that were on the festival stage unfortunately!

I love worshiping and to be at spirit west coast and enjoy all the artists and my fav songs was amazing

it was an amazing concert of Christian artist!!! it lifted me higher

This was a great show. I have been attending the past 4 years at the Concord Pavillion. This year they had a separate stage on the "side", outside the main stage which was very difficult to go back and forth and hard to get back to the main stage. Also, all the artists were great, but we missed the ones at the small stage because of the crowds and being able to see well. I would suggest that they bring all the artists inside the pavillion and have a side stage inside the same roof. That way all the artists get the same exposure and the attendees can see all the artists.

It was the best Christian concert I ve been to this year!

Mercy Me's performance was outstanding and capped off a great night.

Best concert I ve ever been to! Amazing artists!❤️❤️

The Artist's in general were great, but, Mercy Me was amazing !

I had a great time with my daughter and niece. Hope to be back next year.

Spirit West Coast was amazing. All the bands and individuals were fabulous. The only thing I would like to see change is that it would be better on Saturday so it is easier to get up for work on Monday.

I ve been going to the concord Pavillon for many years Great place to see a show and close to home The line up was amazing Great night of worship Wish there were more shows like that

This was an outstanding Christian concert with incredible Christian singers, but the overall venue was way too long - in excess of 7 hours. There were too many breaks and the two speakers did not add much value to what was billed as a music concert. Access to Concord Pavilion is abysmal with little or no directions on how to get into the parking lot, or from the parking lot into the amphitheater. The entrance gates were backed up with minimal personnel to effectively handle the crowds in terms of inspecting bags, scanning entrants and their tickets. The special booths that were set up with paraphernalia were all but impossible to get to or stand in line to buy goods.

I bought my sister and I tickets to spirit west coast as a mother day gift. I chose to spend more and get VIP tickets. Best decision I ever made! You have your own meet and greets with the artist and you don t have to fight hundreds of people to get in line. They let us choose 2 artists at the VIP check in to meet. We got to meet MercyMe and Kari Jobe and we stood a few feet away from Tauren wells and the rest of the artists. They were all great and excellent performers. My favorite if course was Kari and MercyMe but the rest of the artists had amazing messages and amazing voices. This concert was awesome and well worth the money and 3 hour drive. Anyone who loves Christian music must go! We got cool shirts and free snacks and drinks in the VIP lounge area as well. Plus we sat in the second row which was pretty darn close and great seats. My only complaint is that the seats are too close together and because the concord pavilion is an outdoor venue, you better hope the people next to you are wearing deodorant! We had someone seating near us who wasn t and that was all bad. Otherwise everything was great! Will go again next year. It s hot during the day but by the evening it s gets cold so bring a jacket. Also the concord pavilion is on a hill so prepared to walk if your not VIP.

Great performances. Mercy Me and Danny Gokey are amazing.

Kari Jobe was the best artist, Tauren Wells was the worst. Tauren was good or best at "Hills and Valleys" and also at least partially or some "When We Pray", but he didn't do very well. Once we got to Danny Gokey, it started getting/being good and Kari Jobe did excellent at leading a church service. It was so cool at the concert to see everything you normally see on YouTube live, both for Kari Jobe and for other artists and photo and screenshots. Also, good job on the glitter and how they handled "MercyMe's" lead singer breathing in ash or smoke or whatever and how to adjust on the singing for that, which just meant the audience and the other members of his band sing more. SpiritWestCoast was a big help to me in overcoming or with some personal issues so I can be ready and also it was helpful having some young artists there who shared from their own personal lives so that they could help me like I hopefully also would get to help others. The songs were also super duper helpful and everything was. I would just recommend bringing a friend or boyfriend along or going with a friend or boyfriend or girlfriend or wife in the case of the men to make it funner and easier to find everything and know what to do.

Spirit West Coast was amazing! Praise & worship at its best! My wife and I plan on coming every year!

What a line-up!!! What a wonderful day with God s people!!!

He sing amazingly and shared God so eloquently. Loved it !

The concert was good enough, it was freezing! If you go, take a blanket even if it is July 1st in CALIFORNIA. They sold out of sweatshirts & there was no alcohol. So, really no way to warm up. I get its a christian concern but a lil wine really would have helped. Phil Wickham was awesome. Kari Jobe was just too pregnant, poor thing, she tried. And Mercy Me didnt play long enough, props to Bart, he tried, the smoke killed his voice so he could only do what he could do. But, I love all the people that played so ya know, whatever...take my complaints as you do...but I was freezing and I will bring a blanket or parka.

AMAZING!!!! Tauren Wells won me over as a fan. That kid has an incredible future. Kari Jobe sounded like an Angel straight from Heaven! We were totally blessed!

Can t wait for next year!!! One of the best concerts ever!

Everything from the parking, staff, venue and musicians were amazing. I could feel Jesus in that place. We had a great time.

Loved the lineup that was held at this event! And the owl at the end was very unexpected but really something!

Spirit West Coast was the most awesome-est concert in my life. My son Kawika and I are life long fans of this concert... 8 hours of praise, singing and dancing!!

This was the first concert my 10 year old son has ever been to. We had an amazing night singing, dancing around, and worshipping together with our fellow sisters and brothers in Christ! Can't wait for the next one!

I fully understand as a Christian concert you should let people know about your missions and ministries; however, out of the 6 hour concert there was maybe 90 minutes of down time where you were continually talking about your mission/ministry and setting up the band area. Made for even a longer night. Have the performers walk around the stage more. I spent most of the concert looking at their backs. Performers were AWESOME!!!

Spirit West Coast returned to the Concord Pavilion and I attended for my 3rd consecutive year. The band lineup changes slightly each year, though some artists, like Jeremy Camp, have performed every time I've attended. The music is great and it's a very fun and uplifting environment. It's a family-friendly event and the performances are geared toward Christians of all ages. Whether or not you buy a seat or enjoy the performances from the grassy lawns, it's worth checking out!

What a line up! Loved all the artists and their heart for God. I liked the small stage idea so we had something to do while main stage was being changed for next artist.

This was by far the most fun music festival ever. the energy, the line up, everything. The location for this concert was perfect, the outdoor venue gave it the festival feel which made it by far an amazing experience for a christian concert. i can't wait for next year!

Love Spirit West Coast concert. I got everything year.

Everything was great but the stairs got to me other than that it was beautiful. That white Owl was probably staying away from the fire.

This was my first Spirit West Coast event, although I have wanted to go for years. I really didn't know what to expect aside from great Christian music - which there was! The line-up was fantastic and made waiting for Mercy Me very enjoyable - especially loved Danny Gokey and his band. My mistake was not checking out the experience from past attendees. I expected more of a family fun atmosphere, (i.e food trucks, games, etc.) It was really more of a music fest with booths to buy T-shirts, etc. That was not so much fun for the 7 year old that came with us but he endured. Of course, Mercy Me was fantastic and totally worth the wait. We had terrific seats under the awning so no problem with the sun. Everyone was very friendly and kind. One employee offered me the use of the VIP elevator when he noticed my difficulty with the stairs. All in all, great time. I'm not sure I would go again for such a long event (3:00 pm to 10:30 pm) but would consider it for a great headliner with just one or two bands before.

the venue had long waiting lines to get in and thus we missed a bit of the first band. There were two stages this year which we never left to go to the other stage. Just too crowded. I thought the sound was too low and everyone kept talking so I couldn't hear the music and i was in a seat not on the lawn. We left early since I couldn't hear the music nor see the musicians since everyone kept standing. I will not attend again.

Amazing! We will do this again next year for sure!

Spirit West Coast was extremely heart felt and moving!

The show was excellent. Music was fantastic ,and on time and professional.

Great venue, However when it came to this years Spirit West Coast in Concord, California it was very unorganized in our opinion... 1-2 weeks or so before the event we read on Facebook after buying tickets in earlier months that there were going to be 2 stages instead of just the 1. This really made things hard for our family and friends with medical conditions to hop back and forth just to choose our artists we wanted to see at each stage after paying a good lumpsome for seats up front to see all the artists months back before info on a festival stage was known. Plus, on top of hopping back and forth my wife and I had to split up to see both of our favorite artists because they were scheduled to be performing at separate stages at the same time. We had bought 4 Platinum VIP Tickets when tickets for the event came out because we knew tickets would sell fast and also because we were hoping to see all the artists announced comfortably front row from our row 2 seats we spent hundreds of dollars on to only later find out 1-2 weeks or so before the event (on Facebook) 2 stages were added last minute without any information about this when tickets first started selling for the event when the lineup was originally released. After this year we have learned It s better to buy tickets last minute to avoid these last minute changes and to already get an idea if you will get to see the artists you purchase your seat to see or to see if you need lawn seats to hop back and forth between stages due to lineup scheduling. Plus it would have saved money since you pay all that money for seats and don t get to see all the artists perform because of 2 stages with 2 main artists performing far apart at the same time. 1 stage (Main Stage) had the seats we paid for, the other stage (Festival Stage) we had to beat the crowd to hope we had a shot to see who you want. Overall, great lineup but disappointed we didn t get to see all the artists we were announced were going to be there. Hope next year has 1 stage if you re going to be charged a pretty penny for seats, or that information of multiple stages is disclosed when tickets start selling.

We had such a fantastic time at Spirit West Coast 2018!! It was an amazing concert and I will be buying tickets again!! Thank you so much!!

My son's first we have gone many years. It was sad to see so many empty seats near us for first row on the floor; not sure if "sold" out. Really enjoyed my son still talks about it even days afterwards.

It was very different this year with having two stages. We missed the first act in the main stage because we thought the concert time was changed to 4 pm. We didn't get a program when we came in. We're still undecided about two different stages. My husband has hip problems, would it be possible to provide some kind of "ride" or very small shuttle (golf cart) to navigate the very long walk to seating from the parking lot.

Went late just to see Mercy Me and well worth the drive, price, and got BLESSED!

I'm not pleased that Spirit West Coast is starting to have acts on two different stages during this event. Some of the artists are performing at the same time which caused me to choose between two of them and I didn't know this until I showed up. Either Transparent Productions or Spirit West Coast or Ticketmaster should specify this while promoting the event and NOT list ALL the names of the acts. That is UNFAIR!!! We are not seeing A,B,C, and D artists. We're seeing MAYBE A,B and maybe C and D depending on what stage you want to go to. This now will effect whether or not my daughter and I choose to go next year and we've gone the last three years in a row.

I am always impressed with the line up and talent at SWC. It was a wonderful event.

all the artists were so entertaining. Tauren Wells was so nice and he put on 2 shows!!

I loved the music and worship. Also it was so neat to see a beautiful owl on stage!! I would only add that more bathrooms were needed for such a large group!

When can to get that many people in the name of jesus Christ you can not go wrong

The groups we were able to hear were fantastic. Wanted to see Andy Mineo on the main stage and you pulled him for the other stage. I was not happy about this since Mineo is one of my husbands favorite bands. When you advertise the groups and then choose to split the line up is not right I felt cheated, I'm sure a lot of others felt the same way.

This was an awesome event. Venue is amazing!!! We had so much fun.

I loved the Spirit West Coast this past week-end. I had expected it to be filled with awesome Worship but it exceeded my expectations. I felt like I was in the presence of a Mighty God and even had a breakthrough. The Worship was made for God and I know he was listening with a smile. Beautiful night. Perfect weather, Perfect venue!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved everything about Spirit West Coast, glad I went, it was my first time going and it was unbelievable......

The only problem was two stages in different areas

I love Spirit West Coast, and the Pavilion provides comfortable seating and pretty good visibility and sound. However, the crowd flow is not good in the entrance and concessions area. It is not clear where lines are, and it was frustrating standing in line for almost an hour to get food. Given the space available - I'm not sure there is an easy "fix," but there might be ways to keep things organized and flowing more quickly.

It was awesome. But if they do it at concord again they should not do 2 stages. There was way to many people to get to the other stage.
