VNV Nation

Great vocals and didn't disappoint. Over two hours of music.

The Jannus Live was great, the people there are very attentive and made sure my group had the best experience. VNV was spectacular and Ronan was very interactive with the audience. This was such a blast!

Double encore! Crowd was hyped! Words from the heart in between sets! Kept the crowd on their feet!!!

Having never seen a VNV Nation show before I wasn't sure what to expect but was really pleased overall with the show. The music was great and Ronan is a hell of a showman. The one thing I didn't enjoy was the encores- its lame when a band only plays one song for 1st encore and then does a 2nd encore- not too mention that they wanted an awfully long damn time to come on for the 1st encore to begin with.

This was the 2nd VNVN concert I've been to. it was a great show - small venue, lots of energy, fans who love VNVN and not there just to go to a concert. Ronan gets really personal with the crowd and seems to be all about the fans.

It was a great show, VNV is great in concert! The opening acts were fun Ayria and War Tapes were both solid and fun. Check out VNV if you get the chance!

The venue was nice and VNV performed well. There was a great energy in the crowd. They put on a fun show. I'd definitely go again.

They were fantastastic. A little chatty; however, I really appreciated his repoire with his cult (fans). I haven't jumped and danced so much in a very long time. Will not miss them again.

Wow. One band, 3 and a half hours, 28 songs, and a great crowd. This is the best VNV Nation show we have ever attended on land. Loved Janus Live as a venue as well. Good drink and food vending and not too crowded. The only complaint would be the sound was a bit too bass-driven on a few songs, which made it a bit uncomfortable to listen to at times. Otherwise, great energy from Ronan and Mark, Gabriel and the rest of the VNV Nation team. The crowd was awesome and intense.

Wow what a great evening with VNV Nation. They rocked. 3 hrs 10 minutes of non-stop great music. My friend and I had the best time. They rock!

I have seen VNV Nation for the last 16 years and I don't know how they still can keep up the intensity, make people sing, dance and just feel liberated. Love there music and lyrics where I wish this show could of gone another hour after almost 3 hours and 15. it was just pure essence!!!! Love you guys and can't wait to see you again somewhere on this planet for another enormous experience. If you love to dance, collaborate and meet a great band I suggest to go and listen to there music and specially live.

It was fun and the energy was good. My only complaint would be not many older songs were part of the venue. Kind of a bummer, but the show still rocked! Traveled from Vegas to attend their show!

Always incredible, though Ronans vocals overstep the rest of the music and he sings them however he wants, he keeps the audiences attention at all times and never fails to deliver the experience theyr there for.

Don't get me wrong, VNV nation is amazing!! Tho song and music are breathtaking and the band loves to interact with the fans a lot. I have only one small criticism - sometimes the engagement can be a bit too much. Lead singer Ronin obviously likes to get the crowd pumped, but sometimes he'll start off a song and then throw it back to the fans to sing along or finish off the lyrics. This can be fun sometimes, but I feel he just does it too often. The lyrics are intelligent, beautiful, but also long. Sometimes we don't always get a chance to memorize every single song. So when he starts singing one, and then expects the fans to join in and finish it, it can be disappointing because not everyone know the lyrics and it kills the song. It feels like we just keep interrupting the song.It's like karaoke gone awry. It would be nice if they just sang vast majority of the songs so I could enjoy his smooth vocals (not other peoples') and dance to the music rather than having to keep showing him that we're all singing along. Besides this, the band is awesome and they love their fans. So this review is more about the concert experience and not so much the band. The band would get 10 stars!

Amazing evening... awesome theater, great staff... do whatever you can to get VNV NATION back here for more shows.

VNV Nation always plays a good show, and this was no exception. Every song I wanted to hear, and some I didn't know I wanted to hear. A concert that spanned decades of music.

VNV Nation has been around for a long time, and the music, voices, everything - it just gets better and better. I can't wait to see them again when they return to NYC.

You won't find a frontman move side-to-side on a stage with more synergy and passion than VNV Nation's singer and songwriter, Ronan Harris. While just about all of us in the audience had to take a break from moving after a few songs, Harris went the entire night with only a few short breaks. The music and words produced are so profound they've literally changed lives. To go along with his witty antagonism to get us moving throughout the show, he emphasized his appreciation for all of us. It definitely felt like a family-oriented atmosphere. This truly sets VNV Nation apart from every other band is through their genuine appreciation and grace for those of us who are fans.

It was my first time seeing VNV, and I was definitely impressed by the energy. Ronan made the show alot of fun with his sense of humor and determination to interact with the crowd and to get everybody moving. There was a good mix of old and new songs.

ok for starters the opening act, WhiteQube was actually pretty good. He suited VNV Nation well and got the crowd going with alot of excitement like he an opening act is supposed to. now there were few issues with the show itself. none so major that it would keep me from loving the show. the first is that both the opening act and VNV went on late. WhiteQube at 8:30 or so and VNV at 9:45. the doors opened at 7. the other issue was audio feedback. no not constant loud screeches of ear splitting feedback, though there were a few minor ones, but more of a constant wail coming from a mic or 2 during the latter part of VNV's set. this issue i believe was a little venue related and by no part VNV's part. now for the part y'all were waiting for. VNV Nation put on the best show i have ever seen. few bands can fill a room with so much excitement and play to the fans as well as they did. Me being one that does not dance and does not really get into concerts much at all, i found myself "jumping when they wanted to see jumping" clapping when they wanted to see clapping and just outright enjoying the show. but i'm not the only one that got into it. i dragged a friend along for the ride. he is incredibly smart and incredibly socially impaired. i have never seen him dance, i have never seen him really enjoy music, and i guarantee that he has never been to a concert outside of maybe the symphony. i dragged him to this concert as a sort of mind game to see his reaction, and well i think he was enjoying it just about as much as i was. i have never seen him dance or smile listening to music. he did both. i think i will drag him back next time. now back to VNV's show, the band has a sense of humor unlike some of the other bands i have seen. a few things they did was make a joke about piracy and the fact that "end of days" is actually "Further," and then they burst into short reference to Boys of Summer... Also my favorite part of the show. then at one point in the show at the start of the first encore they gave away a signed keyboard/synth from an old/early tour. They played many of my favorites and quite a few from their new album, TransNational. Outside of the aforementioned feedback, all songs were well played and very enjoyable. they had a good mix of the new and old. they started with something from TransNational, then did one of their more popular songs. then about 3 songs in they cracked a joke about how some people come to their shows for only illusion then played it. they played more from TransNational (joked that the audience did not know the songs YET) then played more hits followed by one of their old old songs. more hits and more stuff from TransNational. in all i was very impressed with the show and the band, the personalities and the energy. i would have to say that this was the best show i have ever seen. i have newfound respect for VNV and that hunch that this was a show that i did not want to miss was rightfully satisfied.

VNV played a really amazing show at the masquerade. It was the most love I've ever experienced at any show let alone "Industrial/Goth" show.... I believe we are dawning into a new area here in Atlanta especially the era of the Hippie Goth... the finally stage of goth. People think goth is all about death which is false. IT IS ABOUT REBIRTH AND LOVE

Best electronica show I've ever attended! Will Recommend VNV to anyone!

A night full of dancing, laughter, and positive vibes! No, this is not a jamband review. This is VNV Nation. A band that brings hard hitting electronic music. I found myself mesmerized and in tune with every song. This was my 7th time seeing the band live. Every show is special, but this particular one was soaring! VNV Nation never holds back in a live performance. On this night, their range went nearly full spectrum. It was a long set list, and at the end, despite my body being soaked in sweat, I still craved more! We are only human though. I couldn't have asked for a better time. As long as this band continues to tour, I will be there in a heartbeat.

VNV Nation is very well known for their highly energetic shows. This show was no different, and was every bit as exciting. Ronan and Mark were very interactive with the crowd, which is not something you see in many concerts! They grabbed an audience member's cell phone and continued her recording from the stage point of view! Must have been truly unforgettable for her. Not a dull moment throughout the show. Even songs that the majority of the audience did not know were enjoyable, as crowd participation was encouraged. Finally, the opening act, Whiteqube, was excellent as well. Their highly energetic stage performance, marked by their hypnotizing light effects certainly set a good mood for this show. We should be on the lookout for them to break out onto the scene soon. Overall, great show from one of my favorite bands, and I cannot wait to see them again!

The concert was simply amazing! VNV-Nation really rocked! Great energy, great performance, really nice to the public. One of the very best concerts I've been to for sure. The concert was pretty long, and that felt really great. Everyone was dancing, jumping, singing, and enjoying themselves. I'd go see VNV-Nation again. Bowery Ballroom was a pleasant surprise too- no lines, no fuss, everyone was pretty friendly. The layout is great there for concerts like this, as there is always opportunity to be closer to the stage or go to the bar, or downstairs lounge.

It was wonderful, I was debating a bit and was a little upset I couldn't go for Saturday but two of my fav songs ever were played on Sunday and made it worth everything! I also got to make my boyfriend happy :D! Wonderful!

My first concert in 25 years. This group ,which I found on an internet music provider, is now a group I listen to constantly. This concert was an atmosphere of human high powered energy. The performers were utter perfection with a palpable love of their fans. The lead singer was charismatic and had a voice that was a solid beautiful, like a pristine marble pillar, who also knew how to communicate to his audience and ignite their hearts with true passionate belief and dedication to the ideals the lyrics praised.

VNV Nation absolutely kills it at their live shows! Love their interaction with their loyal fans at the concerts! Super high energy! This is a must see show, I will try to see them every time they make it here.

Fantastic set. Great showmanship, fantastic music great crowd. third year in a row that i have seen them and I am never disappointed. Majority of Crowd dancing and having a great time. Opening act was pretty decent also.

VNV Nation were absolutely amazing as usual!! And I was very impressed with the opening band- Whiteqube- they also rocked!!

This is a must see show!!! They sound amazing. Energy was super high and lots of fun.

Great Show. The energy of the band transferred to the audience.

VNV Nation was awesome. They played a mix songs from their career along with new ones fromnthe new albumn. I also love the Royale as a venue. Great show.

Ronan puts on an amazing performance! Constant energy, interacts with the crowd on an individual level, gives you shit if you aren't having fun, encourages crowd participation, asks us how we're doing, and then gives some of the best speeches i've ever heard a musician or human being period make. I would see them again and again. We also got to meet Ronan, very nice guy, signed our ticket and told us to take care and have a good night before we left.

It was a great time and extremely entertaining. I will definitely make a point to see them the next time they come to Cincinnati. 2 of my friends didn't even know the band, but had a great time watching them perform and loved their music! Whatever you do make sure you wear black! The lead singer had a field day making fun of those wearing colored shirts! HaHa!

THE BAND IS VERY INTERACTIVE WITH THE CROWD. YOU BETTER BE DANCING AND SINGING ELSE RONAN WILL CALL YOU OUT...HAHA. AND NO WHITE T-SHIRTS... THE SOUND WAS INCREDIBLE. I WILL ALWAYS BE AT A VNV SHOW.

It was very fun and entertaining. They put on an incredible show and make it really personable. Lots of audience interaction. Enjoyed the opening act as well!!! Highly recommend going!

I waited for 4 long years for VnV to come back. When I heard they were coming to town I got super excited and promised myself I would go. I am soooooooo glad that I did. This was the best show I'd been to in a very long time. I would totally go again, make other people go, recommend others go. Taft Theater needs to make them come back again. Even if they have to go to Ireland and drag them. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring them back. AMAZING show.

I am a huge fan of VNV Nation! I love the venue. Would love to see them again. If they come to San Diego, I would definitely attend again. Would definitely come to the Belasco Theater again.

And this one was no exception. I don't know how they do it, but they create an atmosphere where it is simply wonderful to dance and sing and feel all the feels that their music makes. Profound lyrics, and Mr. Harris is a brilliant, brilliant man...

There was nothing I did not like about this show! VNV Nation put on an incredible concert, playing songs from as far back as 1998! The venue was a club rather than a stadium and it was small and intimate. I was shocked it did not sell out. During the after-party, the musicians made themselves available to fans and simply mingled in the crowd. Absolutely awesome night in Boston!

I've had a tattoo logo for years... they are incredible in terms of showmanship, lyrics dynamic styling, great beats, everything. Ram's Head was a really sweet venue too!

Amazing show! Great set list, amazing energy, we had a blast!

A bargain price for a Hope Diamond show. VNV played well over 2 hours for the closing show on the 2011 tour. Playing songs from previous albums and songs from the newly released album, "Automatic", they kept the crowd moving and singing along for the whole show. Not only that, they came out after the show to sign autographs for the fans. My whole entourage will try to catch at least one show when they return to the U.S in February for part two of their U.S. tour. Great band and great show!!!!

Moving, thoughtful and uplifting show. I look forward to seeing them again in 2012.

I have never seen such an eclectic crowd for a live show..I guess this says a lot about the artists...Great feeling! I never saw VNV before and was really surprised by the energy they conveyed... Also the first part Straftanz was fantastic and established the perfect mood before VNV. Just go there people!!!

It was an awesome show. If you're into this type of music, it's hard to beat VNV Nation! Their dedication to their music, and the level of energy they output during performance is huge! They weren't stuck up about photos and video being taken either. Interacted with the audience as well! Again, excellent show!

As always, VNV Nation provides a show to remember! The enthusiasm of the band members shows that they truly care about putting on a great performance, and that audience members are having a great time. Always a great time!

This show was fun from beginning to end. The opening acts were good and quite entertaining. VNV Nation was amazing. Ronan is so personable, I love that he makes everyone feel like part of the show so that it is more of an experience than a concert. He stresses that while he doesn't care if you snap a few shots here and there or record a bit of the show, he wants you to step away from the camera and not miss the real thing. "Enjoy what you're seeing right with your eyes, don't end up watching the show through a 2 in screen and end up regretting it later." I've seen VNV Nation live 3 times now, and it always gets better...I would definitely recommend seeing them live at least once.

Second time i saw them in new york on their faith power and glory tour and both shows were amazing. incredible music!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my 5th time seeing VNV live and each time they only get better.It was my first time at the music hall was nice, but they need to be more organize with the sound system and lighting over all had a great time and would attend again hopefully soon VNV are the best at what they do

i was told i'd have a spiritual experience seeing VNV... and it was a damn accurate description. had to be one of the best crowds i have encountered. the energy was over the top, as was the band's performance. stellar evening. i felt the love.

This is the second time I see them and I was amazed yet again. They are unique and tend to search your soul through every song. I am so glad to of been able to share this experience. \\m/

VNV Nation was great! Their live performances are so moving that you can't help but to dance and move. And if you don't move or dance, Ronan will make sure that you do; even call you out if he has to. We got their early and waited outside for 5 hours. Ronan came out and talked to the around 10 of us that were there. He asked us where we came from and all that. When the show did start, I got front row, as you can probably see by the pictures. Ronan and Mark have amazing energy and can keep the crowd going. There was a small break because of a computer malfunction 2 songs in and Ronan pointed at us and said "There's the Knoxville people" and we were like "No, they (meaning some other people that were waiting in line early with us) are from Knoxville, we're the ones from Johnson City, TN." His remark was just "Us Europeans and our damned geography". Afterwards, Mark went out to the bar, so I waited to meet him, and found Ronan in the parking lot. I asked him for a picture and he ushered me and told me to come back and party with him, but I was like, "I gotta drive 5 hours back to Johnson City, remember?" I will definitely next time. (when he came out early to talk to us..) "You're awesome Ronan!" -some person "Me? No, I suck!" -Ronan Harris

This, my first time seeing a VNV Nation show, was so much fun. They are very energetic performers and interact with the crowd. If you like VNV Nation and haven't seen them live, you really should!

The show was amazing, incredible, awesome!!!! Their energy on stage rocks! They played almost all of my favorite VNV songs + some wonderful new stuff! The guys are incredibly friendly and nice. We took pics with them after the show as they mingled with the fans....I want to see them again and again and again!!!

I loved the energy that was put off onto the crowd. The interaction was amazing. The performance was phenominal, and I could have danced until the sun came up.

Every time i see these guys it gets more amazing .there not only talented there down earth guys who appreciate there fans and they know how to party in ATL! I hope only good things come to VNV and i can't wait to party with you guys next time, never change, your awesome!

I've heard from past shows that VNV Nation doesn't sound as good live in concert as they do on their records. While this did turn out to be true, nevertheless the show rocked. Ronan did a great job making up for his voice not sounding as good live with his personality, energy and interaction with the crowd. One thing that didn't go well had nothing to do with the band but I arrived way to early and ended up leaving a half hour before they stopped playing all their songs.

This was my 4th VNV nation concert since I've been a fan since 1999. It was one of the best shows I've seen! The venue was perfect and the sound was incredible! 5 STARS!

They were even more powerful and awesome than the Futureperfect tour. VNV Nation had so many great moments in the concert. They connected with the audience in more ways than anyone can put into words. It is what a VNV Nation concert is to be expected.

I've been following their music for almost 6 years now, and I can say without a doubt, this is my favorite music group! I loved how the venue was set up though, I'm not one for big crowds, so the VIP section was an excellent splurge of my money to see this concert. I would recommend Ticketmaster's service and Goldenvoice venues to anyone, especially when seeing VNV nation!

Amazing showman!!! Love every song live even better then studio....and revisiting the album that start it all "empires" was phenomenal to hear from start to end......I would see them over and over...love you guys!!!! When are they coming back so I can see them for the 30th time

I truly love this band that have so many wonderful songs and a lot of them they played at this show. They played most all tracks from Empire/Burning Empires and Automatic..and a few B-sides from Empires like "Further" wow!!! I saw them live once before in 2002 and it was and so 15 years later I caught this show. I remember in 2002 there was a power issue at the venue and there was a lively fun discussion with the band and the audience that was well clever and I remember that connection. This time around it did not work for me-- I thought the audience and band interaction was distracting and interrupted the performance of some great songs. Almost every song was interrupted by a joke or comment about camera phones. Truly I share Ronan's disdain for camera phones but bringing it up on nearly every song was tiresome to the point that I was getting bored as I knew the song was going to again be ruined. I will buy future VNV nation albums and singles etc but probably will not go to another show. Thanks for coming to South Florida though.

Very awesome show. One of my favorite shows. I definitely enjoyed it.

VNV always is amazing! Such a great performance. Didn't care for the venue itself. It's not clean or big enough for this group.

Seeing VNV Nation live has long been a dream, but I had no idea how much they would exceed my expectations. This was hands-down the most amazing concert I've ever been to. It wasn't even really like a concert... it was more like a party with a bunch of your best friends. It was life-affirming and blew my mind. Even my partner who had said "I hate electronic music" had an absolute blast. Highly, highly recommended. The three stars rating is solely because the floor was so sticky I couldn't properly dance and the bar staff put ice in Ronan's scotch...when the headlining act asks you, from the stage, with a microphone, for a scotch with no ice and water, it's bad form to screw that up in front of a room full of witnesses.

1,400 miles in 3 days for 3 hours and 10 minutes of continuous hits from my favorite band\u2014a montage of the music that has absolutely carried me through these ten years and more. It felt more like forty five (45) minutes. The crowd was everything I've come to expect\u2014cheerful, respectful, introspective, eclectic and diverse. What a magical time.

I have seen VNV Nation live so many times I have lost count. What made this time special was it was the first time my sister, who is autistic, was old enough to come with. VNV Nation has been her favorite band since I introduced them to her 8 years ago. It was also the first time my boyfriend saw them live too. So ... we get there 20 minutes into the VNV Nation set .. sorry Straftanz .. thanks to having to leave late. As soon as we walk in, the crowd was going nuts. I was more focused on finding the bathroom then what the first song was. As soon was we found a place to stand, Epicenter started. From there they played about 3 more songs. I spent the majority of the time watching the joy on my sister's face because the night was all about her. My boyfriend even started to dance .. and he is one of the most stoic people I know. We ended up going to the other side of the crowd so we were not having to let some one through every 30 seconds and I was able to let loose with the little room I had to move and I danced. The place went dark and people started to leave. I smiled as I grabbed the arms of both my sister and boyfriend and said "Just stand here." They listened .. and as a few more people cleared out we moved up. VNV Nation took the stage again and as soon as I heard the first note .. I squeeled and grabbed my boyfriend so hard he almost fell over. Beloved is my favorite VNV Nation song EVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nova followed (which is now my BF and my song). My sister was dancing and smiling so big .. and of course VNV NATION was impeccable. There is something so refreshing to see a group at that caliber, who not only puts on a great show, that can laugh at themselves and have as good a time on stage as we are on the floor.

Drove from central Florida to Atlanta, GA for this show. I can honestly say it was worth every penny of the trip and the long ride both ways. Would certainly make it again!

VNV Nation always puts on a phenomenal show. The fans are extremely devoted, and Ronan is brilliant at engaging the crowd and building an awesome atmosphere. Masquerade is also an excellent venue with a lot of character.

The show was amazing! VNV performed and Ronin brought tremendous stage presence and audience participation. He got the crowd going and the energy was electrifying. They played then performed 2 encores. Each encore was 4-5 songs. I lost count of the total number of songs but they rocked the house for 2.5-3 hrs. Best show I have ever seen!!

There is no one else like them. May they live forever and keep coming back to NYC forever.

VNV Nation is always a pleasure to see live. It seems like they get better every time. This year was amazing.

Fantastic show. Substantial emphasis on crowd participation. They really seem to care about their music and their fans.

VNV Nation never fails to astound, bringing a positive and fun vibe to Atlanta every time they tour. They mix deep and powerful emotion in the music and lyrics with a humorous and hopeful outlook in the witty banter with the crowd. The end effect is one of unity and joy.

VNV Nation never fails to put on an amazing performance. The stage energy is amazing and they have a knack for getting the crowd really involved in dancing and singing. I can't say enough good things about seeing VNV Nation live--just do it!

As always, amazing show, great energy, and just full of love.

I've listened to VNV Nation for years but this was my first time seeing them live. These gentlemen seriously deserve our support. What the *@&#D is wrong with our radio stations in the states? $20 a ticket. VNV Nation played for almost 2 1/2 hours with 2 encores. When I say encore, I mean they came back and each time played several more songs. Oh and there was an opening band Straftanz who were pretty good in their own right. Seriously...20 bucks...I've paid a heck of a lot more for shows that were not half as good as VNV Nation. These guys feed off the energy of the crowd and the more you give them the more they give back to you. It was an experience I won't ever forget. VNV Nation will make you feel they are there for YOU. That your night with them is the most special night of their life as well. The sincerity they express during the course of their concert makes you believe and really takes you to a whole nother level. Run to see them the very first chance you get. I swear you will not be disappointed. I would recommend VNV Nation to anybody who loves MUSIC. I cannot recommend them high enough. The Masquerade as a venue was not the best imo but I went to see VNV Nation, the venue honestly made no difference at all. The music was perfect and I'd dare say they are even better live than on CD. The small venue made the experience even more personal. I'll be seeing them every chance I get from now on.

You'll always enjoy a memorable show @ VNV Nation. Ronan engages the crowd totally, unlike some performers who have a memorized routine. The opening band, Straftanz, was also lots of fun! A perfect compliment to VNV. To VNV Nation, Straftanz & everyone who was there, Merry Ravemas!!

This was my second VNV Nation concert and it was just as good as the first. The group doesn't disappoint when it comes to choosing a variety of their songs, and they're all very personable and love crowd interaction. Can't wait for the next one!

The venue is tiny, felt like I was in someone's house. Not a bad seat in the house. For a "synthethic" band VNV sounded incredible. The vocals were perfection. VNV nation are so engaging. They made sure the audience was having a good time, asking for participation. I trully felt that band was making eye contact and genuinely cared about the audience. My husband who is not familiar with industrial/goth music was very pleasantly surprised at how positive, friendly, and endearing the band was. And their music.....there are no words the DRUMS AMAZING! the power the words. Wonderful Show definetly recommend everyone see this band live.

Industrial/EBM/Synthesis Pop live acts are generally tough to gauge: you can't tell how well each musician is playing their instrument, the vocalists generally focus on what they're saying versus how well they're singing it, and often times there just aren't enough to musicians on the stage to create any real presence or energy on the stage. VNV Nation, thankfully, is not one of those acts. Ronin, the vocalist, is one of the most energetic front men I have ever seen on a stage. He constantly engages the audience, is funny, quirky, very charismatic, and most importantly, conveys the energy, meaning, and intensity if his songs. The band behind him interact with him accordingly and provide a solid musical backdrop to Ronni's performance. The musical performance varies song to song, either being very true to the original recording (for newer material, generally) or with varying amounts of live interpretation for their older material. Most of the time, the changes are to accentuate lyrics or inject energy into the show. On rare occasions I'm disappointed by these interpretations, but most of the time they're spot on and add to the song's overall performance. However, the best part about going to a VNV Nation concert is the audience. They are dedicated fans that love what they hear. With Ronin's prompting they sing along, chant, cheer, and dance along with the music. At some shows, especially general admission ones, crowds are mixed bags: there are people who are cool and respect others, and then you have drunk people who often act, shout, dance or moshI and chant with no regard to others. These individuals are generally people you have to tolerate in order to enjoy a show. After seeing over eight VNV shows, the audience on way occasion tends to be supportive, engaging, and full of energy. Most importantly, they are also in love with the music. Their love and adoration is potent and can be felt by even those who are not fans if the band or even the genre. The audience adds to show, gives the band the extra energy to perform, and makes going to a VNV Nation show an enjoyable concert experience. I highly recommend for those who enjoy the genre, for those who wish to be entertained, and especially for those who love the band.

This was my first concert coming alone. I was blown away and I had the time of my life. THANK YOU!!

I have seen VNV perform live several times, and never is there a dull moment with this band. They are amazing, give off so much energy, and love their fans. You will be moving, singing and nothing else will matter while you're at this event. They always interact with the fans and always give their all at a show. Do not pass them up, go see them!!

Incredible. Seeing VNV live is a Shamanic experience. Wonderful. Ecstatic!

awesome energy. great great show. cant say enough good things

A lot of fun and energy from a small venue, and the openers Straftanz were def as fun as VNV. If you haven't seen VNV Nation yet, you don't know what you are missing.

VNV Nation is amazing on cd. Live they are indescribable.

VNV Nation put on an amazing show at the packed lower Manhattan venue. The sound quality was out of this world, and the band played a two hour long set. The energy of the audience and the positive aura of the band are things I will never forget.

Amazing show! They played a mix of both the old and the new, so fans of either type would have totally enjoyed the show. Ronin loves New York City as well as his fans, and you can tell by his performance he was being truthful when he said so. Absolute great time. Would definitely recommend seeing this band live to my friends.

just awesome, EVERY time!! *******************************

The opening band was not that good, they had energy which was nice but they couldn't really work the crowd and their music was so so. Vnv nation however was just fantastic, i couldn't stop dancing the whole show. they had wonderful energy and amazing stage presences. they musical roster was great and i just an absolutely great time. the drinks were way over priced

This band is awesome. I can't wait to see them in concert again.

There was an unbelievable amount of energy from this band. It's very hard not to move around with you listen to them. I also have to admit they sound every bit as good live as they do on cd if not better. If they come to town again I will definitely make time to go see them.

Ronan was highly interactive with the crowd, joking with us and pushing us to become a part of the concert instead of just watching. The light effects were also amazing. The show started with a bunch of fog and an old school countdown on LED light boards. They played their older stuff as well as their newer, and I almost wished I was old enough to be a club kid in the 90 s, to be able to dance to them when they just came out. The show ended with "Perpetual" and all of us (Mark, Ronan, and the crowd) singing "Let there be, let there always be, never ending light."

VNV is incredible, especially live. Nothing can compare to the energy that is always in the room with them. This was our sixth VNV show, and they never disappoint.

upbeat and awesome everyone should see VNV nation!!

This show was rather short. It felt rushed. The opening act was more of a background noise than anything.

The show was incredible! It was a night I will hold dearly in my heart! Although, it was a bummer to find out that the VIP portion of the ticket was the following day which i was unfortunately unable to attend due to having such a short notice sent to me. Other then that though it was an awesome pumped up show. The venue was beautiful and intimate, and I would definitely do it again !
