Capital Cities

Thank U, Thank U Sebu and Ryan for another GREAT Show... U guys I've seen twice at House of Blues, and meet u ya's. there, cool. Was a little unsure about the small venue... But man U guys turned it out....JOY JOY JOY. cool opener act this time, Kaneholler..grooved to their songs as well....Thanks again for coming back to Boston.... Maine would enjoy you guys as well...

Capital Cities was outstanding. This is a great ampitheatre.

Third time seeing Capital Cities and likely NOT my last. The amphitheater is not too packed, but it is ONLY seats (no pit).

It was the last evening of 2013 non-stop touring for Capital Cities so they wound up at the historic Fillmore packed with crazy (or perhaps crazed) fans. Everyone seemed to be high energy and wanting to dance along. Ryan Merchant is a tall strikingly handsome lead singer and he combined with the bearded Sebu Simonian led the crowd through hand and dance moves for most of the night. They were dancing and hopping around the stage...even jumped off to shake hands and high five those close enough. Safe and Sound launched this band into stardom and it naturally closed the set....with even a reprised mix. I've seen the band three times now and always leave having had a great time. Hopefully after resting they will go out again in 2014

I seriously loved this show!!!! Capital Cities we amazing never thought they would be this amazing live.

This show was incredible. I would recommend both of these bands to anyone looking for an unforgettable night. This is my second time seeing Capital Cities live, and I will continue to see them every chance I get. They are so energetic, they get the crowd dancing and it feels like a party. YOU NEED TO SEE THEM BEFORE THEY GET SO BIG THAT THEY ONLY PLAY LARGE VENUES. TRUST ME.

Best concert I have been to in a long time. So much energy and great mix of their songs with cover songs thrown into the setlist!!!

I liked their CD and didn't really know what to expect from their show, but it was fantastic. My friend and I had so much fun. I definitely can't wait to see them again.

AMAZING show in Columbus!! They killed it... would be surprised if these guys didn't come back playing a bigger venue.

eclectic and fun! CC were a surprise and the concert was one of the best we have attended this year!

Gold Fields was great and I was thinking how can anybody out do that. Then Capital Cities came on and knocked me off my feet. They had great energy and I was dancing and singing along the entire time. I wished they played One Minute More but the covers of Holiday and Nothing Compares to You were amazing. Definitely the most fun I have had at a concert in a long time and I've been to a lot. The El Ray was a great venue to see them play in. I have a feeling they will be playing much larger places soon and I'm glad ingot to see them in an intimate setting.

Capital Cities put on an amazing and super fun show, definitely recommend seeing them!!

Capital Cities is a must see LIVE! Unforgettable evening!! Super fun, great tunes, top performance by all members of the band and the LIVE trumpet player was the cherry on top! Can't wait for their next LA concert at the Greek!

I discovered them by chance at Roxy late 2012. I was with a friend and we loved them immediately. And then, they were everywhere on the radio! and not only in LA where they come from (was a work trip in Denver and they were being interviewed on the local radio, so proud, I was the only one knowing them already!). The show at el rey was really awesome, those guys have such an amazing energy! The melodies stay in your head forever, they even add choreography without seeming old fashioned. And the trumpet, oh my god the trumpet! Who thought it could give so much character to their band. So, even if you can feel they are still pretty new (the show can be improved with linking up the songs for instance) they are really great and will get bigger for sure!

Great show! So much positive energy from the performers, from the fans. I feel so fortunate to have seen these groups at a lace like the El Rey. They won't be playing venues this small for long.

This was the second time in 2 weeks that we saw Capital Cities (the other was at Edgefest in Dallas). They were AWESOME each time. We were graced with a meet and greet with the 2 singers, and our only regret was that it did not include the trumpet player, Spencer Ludwig. He is an incredible trumpet player; he is very entertaining as well. At TLA there are no seats except near the bar, so get there early if you want a seat.

awesome show, openers were great, capital cities killed it, had an blast

Epic show. Full of energy, and who can beat the band diving down to the crowd and dance with us?

Their concert was one the best I have ever attended. These guys had the audience dancing to every song. They embellished all of their songs to a new level when they performed them live. This without a doubt the most fun I have had at a concert.

So much energy! I go to tons of shows and this was definitely one of my favorites! A must see show! They even came into the crowd to dance with us, and of course hung out afterward for pictures, autographs and conversation! Awesome, guys!

this was an excellent show, the trumpeter was my favorite part

Neither band played for over and hour, which ended up being a very short show, but the time they played they made the best of it. Pumped the crowd, good music, just wish their was more of it!

Loved the performance and can't wait for them to come back to Houston!!!

The energy of this show, both from the band and the audience, was unbelievable. Such a great experience. I can't wait to see them again.

All the three bands were great. ScarsOn45 was amazing and CaptalCities was very entertaining.

My main draw for going to this show was Gold Fields. Walking in I knew only one Capital Cities song, "Safe and Sound" (the one they overplay on the radio), so I wasn't sure what to expect from their show. Walking OUT I was a changed woman! CC delivers the best, most energetic live performance out there, hands down. It was a non-stop dance party from start to finish and the song lyrics and hooks were instantly catchy (these guys used to be commercial jingle writers so they know what they're doing). The live trumpet player Spencer is INCREDIBLE - he adds just the right amount of soul to their sound and helps differentiate CC from other electronic duos out there like Chromeo, etc. Easily the best money I've ever spent on concert tickets... and I buy a lot of tickets. If you're at all into electronic pop or just want to experience something new, do yourself a favor and check these guys out asap!!!!

This was the most fun I've had at a show in a while. The opening bands were fun and energetic, and the crowd seemed to enjoy both groups. Then Capital Cities took the stage and brought so much energy, and it was one big dance party all night long. Could have listened to them play for another hour and would have been completely into it. I'll definitely see this band live again, and would encourage friends to go too!

I had to travel from Atlanta to Charlotte since these bands skipped my hometown this time around. I'm glad I made the trip. Lovelife (from England) opened. I had never heard of them prior to this show, but am now a fan. Gold Fields (from Australia) played next, and they were very good. I saw them recently perform on Jimmy Kimmel, and their videos for "Treehouse" & "Dark Again" have been in heavy rotation on MTV2 & Logo. Capital Cities (from L.A.) finished off the night with some very fun synthpop. They did a cover of "Staying Alive", as well as Madonna's "Holiday", along with their originals. Their matching white bowling jackets were awesome. The last song, a dance version of their hit "Safe And Sound", caused a jumping frenzy when they got off stage to dance among the crowd. This show was well worth the $19 that I spent on the ticket. I'll definitely go see these bands again.

Capital cities was great, but your website not mentioning that it was a free show is very disappointing... I ended up paying 130 for two seats while the free people sat just a little above me or right in front of the stage standing and being able also to dance.

This concert was straight up amazing. Warpaint was a lovely opening band of all girls which I did not know when I showed up. A friend of mine and I met 4/5 glass animals band members. We danced our socks off and sang loudly. The new golden 1 center venue is very nice. Milky Chance has been on our list since we came across them and the Naked and Famous too. We previously saw Glass Animals at Ace of Spades. Capital Cities was a real crowd pleaser. I loved dancing to their new and old songs. An unforgettable night for sure.

Electric Christmas was a BLAST! Everyone was dancing and singing! Great vibes and great food! Glass Animals stole the show in my opinion. I've been fan since their first album dropped and seeing them live has made me a forever fan. The sound quality from all the bands was excellent! I loved The DJ during intermission and the tweets on the big board were hilarious!!! I would totally go again!

While the show itself was fun, it wasn't the usual spectacular Capital Cities we were used to (new trumpet player?), and the drinks were ridiculously expensive! No more shows for us at Golden 1...

Warpaint and Capital Cities play real instruments and do not rely on prerecorded and techno gimmicks for live performances. The Naked and Famous sounded good, but Glass Animals and Milky Chance had their vocals drowned out by the techno noise. The new arena was sold out only because the upper level was closed off. The seats are uncomfortable and cheaply made. The restroom closest to our seats had only 4 stalls (women's); the line was long and so was the wait. Memorial Auditorium was a much better venue and last year was a much better lineup.

Amazing experience Ive gone every year 94.7 had the concert (except last year). Had so much fun with the excellent bands and beautiful music

Went to see Warpaint, but enjoyed the rest of the show. Aweome!!!

great concert, good sound system. Felt like there could be more people for ground tickets.

This was my third Electric Christmas The top bands wer the Naked and Famous and Glass Animals. The Golden 1 Center was OK but the Oracle Arena the next night was a little better. The Golden 1 is kind of narrow and the jumbo TVs do t match the big one at Oracle

I had so much fun! Glass Animals and Capital Cities were amazing!!

Warpaints set was literally less than 30 minutes long. I drove for 2 hours and even shaved my legs for this badass girl band that were barely given any time on stage. They deserved a longer set for sure. The rest of the bands were chill. There was also plenty of floor space so I do not understand how the venue 'sold out' of general admission floor tickets. Sitting in the bleachers made this show lacking. I probably won't be coming back to Electric Christmas because of this venue.

This was my first time at this venue. It was really disorganized with staffers moving people back and forth between lines because they had incorrect information. Once we got in, staffers also didn't know how to read the general admission tickets for location, so I think a lot of people just ended up sitting where ever. The bands mostly seemed amateur with the exception of two bands, so the experience leading into them was a bit blasé.

Warpaint, Naked & Famous, Glass Animals, Milky Chance, Capital Cities! A line-up of incredible new music, very impressive. Really appreciated the General Admission for seating. It encouraged wandering around. Wish the Upper Level had been allowed, you can sell those cheap. The lines for everything were too long and only half the vendors were there. Logistics fail. But the music, fresh, innovative, groovin' vibes. Enjoyed them all.

I had already seen GA and Milky live, so I had high expectations to begin with. Hot damn did they deliver. Capital Cities killed it, and Naked and Famous deserves to be famous (but naked? I'm sure there's a law against that. Ha.) Anyway, it was a lot of exhausting fun being on the floor dancing and singing the night away with them. Best lineup so far.

Go see Capital Cities -- without it your life is incomplete. Great music great crowd. Soul is refueled! ❤️❤️❤️

The show was awesome. Capital Cities rock! It was a beautiful summer night of music under the stars.

They are incredible performers!! Danced all night until my feet were sore. Their opening act wasn't so great but I came there for them and was very satisfied!

These guys have a lot of fun performing. They have an awesome sound and infectious energy.

Great time had by all! Bands were good as expected. New entrance to amphitheater makes it much easier to leave and return during the show if necessary.

this was my third time seeing capital cities, and their show hasn't changed much at all, but the appeal of the show does get better with time. the fact that everyone knows the words to at least four songs that they perform (one hit record, three covers) makes it easy to enjoy yourself and dance away. not sure if i would watch them again, but i am curious to see if it gets better every time...

The show was incredible. Big Data was electrifying and Capital Cities engaged the crowd and had everyone dancing. I love it when a band can come on stage, and make their show their own personal dance party, and that's exactly what happened at the OC fair on Saturday July 25th.

Capital City was amazing! They had me on my feet the who concert dancing signing and enjoying life! Big Data was just ok but if I had to sit through them again to see Capital I would in a heart beat!

This show was at the OC fairgrounds. I've had the pleasure of seeing Capital Cities once before and they did not disappoint. As I like to say they "sounded like the record".Ther were very energenic and they had everybody on their feet and dancing the entire set. Great job by these gents.

Both band hit the mark with this show. Would love to see both again

This is the second time I have seen them play and they give a fantastic performance.....

I've been to quite a few concerts of all different genres. But this concert, at the fair of all places, was my favorite! Capital Cities is just amazing. The way they instantly drew out the happy dancing kid in us all was epic. To see the ENTIRE crowd going crazy was so much fun. The interaction with the crown was great and their finale dance party was the icing on the cake.

The show was awesome. Much better than Ii expected.

Having the crowd be that into a concert always helps. It was my son's first concert and Capital Cities did a great job. Just wish they would have played Chasing You.

Capital Cities was a great act. They brought great energy had a fun time and there stage presence was amazing. I would see them over and over again.

The show was awesome! They are such a great, upbeat and classy group. The only reason we did not give the show a 5 star rating is for the length of their gig. At about 1 hour, it was way too short and left us wanting more, especially at the Bird Nest, where it is not that easy to get to.

Loved every moment of the concert, they sound even better live. Great energy.

Capital Cities always knows how to make the crowd engage and have fun - no matter what age!

Being from Santa Cruz and now living in Tahoe, it was shocking to me that I had never even been to OAKLAND before, letalone to the FOX before! With close to $100 million in renovations and with our amazing Telegraph Room upgrade, the venue was astounding. We enjoyed the intricate details of walls and ceilings etc so much that I found myself staring at a balcony or statue before getting pulled back into the music! Captial Cities absolutely KILLED it! So awesome... so so fun! We danced our butts off, sang along to every word (sorry to those around us), and enjoyed great company of random strangers throughout the evening (Hi Kevin and Rachel!). Night Terrors and Scavenger Hunt were super cool! Watching from our original seats in the Loge was spectacular, but we stayed most of the night behind the sound booth in our VIP upgraded section. Being 4'4" tall, the view was SWEET! Looking right over the heads of the crowd, with private bar and bathroom, hors d'ouevres... what a treat! Thanks to our wonderful bartender Eva and everyone we met! The Den was a great place to start, too!

I've seen Capital Cities twice now and each time they are so so so good. There was a lame xbox intro which kind of indicates them selling out, but other than that, the light set up was pretty awesome, their music is fun, so much energy, and great dance party time!

The two opening acts were pretty good but should stick to original material. Capital Cites has such a good sound they should also stick to original material. Also, drop the commercial for Forza at the beginning of the set. The sponsor should take a back seat to the band, not stand in front of them. That was a mistake.

I've never seen a commercial played during a live show. Nor had the band stop to hawk goods. Really ruined the vibe of the show. Very disappointed. Hope this doesn't become the norm during live shows.

Amazing venue and great show! I would highly recommend Fox theatre venue Andre guys from Capital Cities put on a good show :)

The crowd booed at the opening Xbox / Forza 5 minute advertisement, setting the concert off on the wrong foot. Then the band continuously referenced San Francisco but never once mentioned the city of the venue, Oakland, further ostracizing us concert goers. When I saw capital cities at Coachella the energy was awesome and production flawless but they were over produced this time. I don't care for any band to lead the crowd in the electric slide; if you want me to move my body then make me do it with the music, not by employing some junior high school crowd manipulation techniques. I really liked the second time they played safe and sound.

I've seen them at least 5 times in the past 2 years! Always a FUN show!!

I had so much fun at the Capital Cities concert, it was a total dance party!

The performance lacked the normal Capital Cities energy for the 1st hour but they made the wait all worth it with the final 5 songs. Overall average overall rating and likely would not see again but worth seeing them once.

CAPITAL CITIES ARE AWESOME. I will watch them anywhere.

Capital Cities is a must see band for those who love to dance and have a good time.

This was the second time I've seen them. The first time they were fun, energetic and thoroughly entertaining. This time they were terrible. The show was gimicky and they were just mailing it it. Hardly talked or interacted with the crowd, and the one guy had no interest in being there it felt like. Save your money.

Cherub was amazing! Great energy and you can feel how excited they were about their music. Capital Cities was only there to make money. It almost felt like they didn't even like their own music. They brought out a big screen and ended up playing an advertisement!!!! at a concert that I bought a ticket for! Absolutely horrible. The one redeeming thing about their performance was the trumpet player.

The first opening act was sooo terrible and loud that it caused my sister to faint and hit her head, giving her a concussion. So I had to rush her out of there before seeing the headliner. Ruined my day! Thankfully she is ok.

Opened up w an advertisement. Tacky, thats like hbo playing commercials

Capital Cities is on my top 10 best concerts. They are so energetic and will keep you dancing from beginning to end while they dance with you! They played their entire album. The best part was their trumpet player because he had the most energy! I can't wait to see them again.

WOW. Absolutely wow. The energy of the concert was infectious. Everyone in the band just looked like they were having a great time and that feeling just passed right into the crowd. The trumpet player moved like he was part of the music and the singers got the crowd going all night. I would go to another of their concerts any day! Their opening act, Scars on 45 was great too!

Even though it rained during the first two acts, it was dry for Capital Cities. (They're obviously God's favorite band!) beautiful music with a really great, energetic performance. I would love to see them in concert again.

What a band! The venue was rainy up until the show started, which weeded out all the fair weather fans. It made the experience that more memorable and personal. Just like last time I saw them, I was grinning from ear to ear, and jumping my calves off. What a great night.

We had a great time- best concert in over 20 years

Capital Cities themselves gave a fair performance, although I was not a huge fan before I went to their concert. They were high energy and had great interactions with the audience. However, their set lasted about an hour, which was very short. Both of the openers were maximum 45 minutes each. The show ended before 10:00, and started after 7pm; I would not pay money to see such a short show again.

great band, amazing live! however, pretty short set but expected since they only have one album out

Such a fun performance at the Fillmore in sf, so glad to catch their last show before the new year. They're as fun as I expected and loving the trumpet player. Killed it!! If you want a show that makes you want to dance to every song than this is it!!
