About

JOYWAVE IN CONCERT:

Few bands can get self-restrained indie rock fans dancing with reckless abandon quite like Joywave. The New York-based quintet blends sunny indie melodies with disco beats and shimmering synths, and the result is a seriously party-worthy sound that always gets fans moving their feet. In concert frontman Daniel Armbruster delivers his effortlessly cool vocals with plenty of style, and fans can't help but boogie along with him as he shakes to the driving rhythms of tracks like "Destruction". Whether they're performing their breakout hit "Dangerous" or rocking out to the anthemic chorus of "Tongues", Joywave brings plenty of feel-good disco energy to the stage every time they perform.  

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Joywave formed in Rochester, NY in 2010 and made their debut the following year with the single "Ridge". They self-released their first EP Koda Vista in 2012, and in 2013 they topped Billboard's Alternative Songs chart with "Dangerous", a collaboration with Brooklyn-based indietronica producer Big Data. The exposure from that breakout hit led to a flurry of critical attention, and the band made good on all the buzz in 2014 with their second EP How Do You Feel. As the singles "Tongues" and "Somebody New" racked up plays online, the band hit the road for extensive touring that included a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live. After touring they returned to the studio, and in 2015 they released their full-length debut album How Do You Feel Now? The album was a critical and commercial success, cracking the Top 40 on both the Alternative and Rock charts and drumming up major excitement for their tour in support of the release.

    Amazing show!

    by EveKing on 4/16/23Old National Centre - Indianapolis

    They can put on quite a show. Great sound crew, light show, & performance. The audience felt the music and the flow kept everyone mesmerized. Great drinks, comfy venue for a sold out show. Great staff. Best show I've seen in a LONG time.

    Immersive Indie Experience

    by Bibi on 4/8/23The Underground - Charlotte

    A live concert is required to fully appreciate the innovative music and vocals, the fine-tuned lightshow, the beautiful original sounds, and the engaging lead. I also enjoyed the talent and music of Elliot Lee, with what were aptly described as "edgy" lyrics, and Dizzy, an incredible Canadian Indie band. All three bands complemented each other with contrasting styles and energy, enhancing the experience greatly.

    If you've never seen these guys before, you really should

    by LonelyWolfTXR on 4/8/23The Underground - Charlotte

    Joywave are amazing live performers. They made me jump around and dance to songs of theirs that I'm not even a huge fan of the studio recordings for. Elliot Lee was so nice, This was their first tour and they did a great job on stage, and were very nice to meet at the merch table. Mad respect to them for having the confidence to play a song about gender identity struggles on their first ever tour. So glad to see people having the courage to give that topic a voice on stage. Dizzy also put on a nice more chill side of the show, a very nice set to even out the pacing of the concert. Loved their vibe and bought their vinyl, the singer ran their merch table and she was also nice to meet and chat with. A really fun show, really nice people, and a very chill crowd. I highly recommend catching a show for this tour if you still can.

    Best set ever

    by LisaHQ on 4/8/23The Underground - Charlotte

    We have been following Joywave since their first album. Daniel Armbruster has come into his own as a performer. High energy set-great mix of their classics including Doubt (thanks again and again for bringing Doubt back)! Did Carrboro and Charlotte-only wish I could have done Athens as well! Enjoy you guys even more when you headline. Keep getting out there

    One of the best concert experiences!

    by Neil vN on 4/5/23The Stone Pony - Asbury Park

    The band was in full throttle and performed with enthusiasm. The sound quality was great. Joywave has the songs! Melodic and inventive. They should be much much bigger than they are. Truly one of the best concert experiences.

    Great Show!

    by C. C. on 4/5/23The Stone Pony - Asbury Park

    I love Joywave and had a wonderful time at the show. Unfortunately I was surrounded by jerks standing completely still and not moving closer to the stage or allowing me to move closer so I couldn't really let loose like I would have wanted to.

    Portland OR Wonder Ballroom

    by E. H. on 3/24/23

    I can't believe they played at such a small venue - it was an experience getting to feel so up close with such a solid band! Large concerts are fun and all but it felt much more like what you'd expect from a local band and it has a different vibe. I loved their choice of opener (Almost Monday) and their vibe and setlist was top tier. Having bought the tickets originally pre-pandemic, I was not disappointed even with the 2 year wait - I look forward to seeing them again next time they're out on the west coast :)

    Pretty good!

    by Michael Romance on 10/29/22

    I saw them on their coheadlining tour with IDKHOW and I had a blast even though I wasn't familiar with their music. Very theatrical!

    Great experience!

    by Summer on 5/21/229:30 CLUB - Washington

    Joywave has been the first band I went to see ever. It became a problem because after that, not only did I go see them again but I have been buying a lot of band tickets to go see other bands.😭 They interacted with the crowd and threw some humor into it. I found Daniel absolutely adorable. Joey, Connor, & Kevin also definitely rocked!!
