  • One of the best concerts ever

    by Rob on 2/24/20Newport Music Hall - ColumbusRating: 5 out of 5

    Amazing concert. Collaboration between Band of Brothers between Magic Giant and American Authors was so unique and fun. Two great bands having fun together and entertaining the crowd and we reciprocated. So much energy! Loved the way they sang, mingled and played as they performed in the crowd. Can’t wait to see them again!

  • Danced. My. Pants. Off!

    by juliaagooliaa on 2/24/20The Underground - CharlotteRating: 5 out of 5

    I could not think of a more fun time if I tried! The sheer energy on the stage is overwhelming in the best way. I flew halfway across the country, met two of my amazing friends, and we laughed, and we cried, and thought OH, WHAT A LIFE!!! American Authors and Magic Giant performing in a combined set is quite literally a once in a lifetime (unless, of course, you travel around the country to see them multiple times!) experience! If you have the opportunity to catch these bands together, you'd be crazy not to! If you can even catch them separately- just do it! Oh, and bring your dancing shoes!!!

  • Not a fan of the combined sets

    by Turtle on 2/23/20Bogart's presented by Cricket Wireless - CincinnatiRating: 3 out of 5

    I was not a fan of Magic Giant and American Authors taking turns. I went to see American Authors and would have preferred to see them play a full set for 1.5 to 2 hours. Instead it seems like they played for maybe 30 to 45 minutes.

  • Magic Giant is amazing

    by Alyse on 2/23/20Bogart's presented by Cricket Wireless - CincinnatiRating: 5 out of 5

    I mainly went to see Magic giant. They put I a good show every time. So unique and authentic

  • Bands where awesome

    by T on 2/18/20The Pageant - St LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    Very interactive with the crowd very down to earth real people. They seem to care a lot about there fans and the time they where having they played all there hits and a few covers I liked how the two bands intermingled with each other Definitely would go again

  • Phenomenal experience

    by Yana on 2/18/20The Pageant - St LouisRating: 5 out of 5

    This tour was simply perfection: awesome artists, quality content & a perfect venue.

  • Concert well executed!

    by Kim G on 2/17/20Varsity Theater - MinneapolisRating: 4 out of 5

    The flow of the 2 bands back and forth was excellent, and our first concert seeing it done this way. The individual sets were energetic, the trips into the audience fun, and the group sessions exciting to watch. We found the music styles different enough to be fun and complimentary enough to make the show flow. The preshow for the band of brothers was fun and really pretty personal with the small group, but way shorter than expected... starting at least 15 minutes late. We know the venue was not ready (bad in the freezing weather), but still were required to wait once inside. Would loved to had another song or two and more chat time. Overall a very enjoyable night - we love seeing American Authors in these nice smaller venues!

  • Fabulous

    by Lisa on 2/16/20Varsity Theater - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    All 3 bands rocked it. They sounded great and had the energy was contagious. My favorite thing was the interaction, with the crowd and especially with each other. Loved their performing together!!!

  • BEST CONCERT EVER

    by Rye on 2/16/20Varsity Theater - MinneapolisRating: 5 out of 5

    I have been to a lot of concerts but I can honestly say this was the best concert of my life! They did an amazing job interacting with the crowd and getting us to dance all together! It was the BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!

  • Amazing show!!!!

    by Jonathan on 2/10/20The Fillmore - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5

    The opening band, Public, was fantastic, But the real treat was how American Authors and magic giant handled the co-headlining tour. It was so fun having them trade off every few songs. They did a few songs together also. Everyone in both bands had such high energy and made the crowd feel like family. The show sounded amazing too and they even had a drum battle! What more could you ask for!?!

  • Fantastic show. The 2 bands did a great job together.

    by P. L. on 2/9/20The Fillmore - San FranciscoRating: 5 out of 5

    non-stop energy. it was great to not have any downtime between between the bands.

  • Such a fun and energetic show!

    by L. H. on 2/7/20House of Blues Anaheim presented by Cricket Wireless - AnaheimRating: 5 out of 5

    It was such a fun show. I don’t know why they don’t have a bigger following! They played some of there new songs too. Love seeing these bands in a small venue as they get into the crowd and really interact. My husband and I only had two rows of people in front to us so we’re super close! Dancing to the left. Dancing to the right. Jumping up and down along with the music. Had a blast.

  • SPECTACULAR

    by DJ on 2/7/20House of Blues Anaheim presented by Cricket Wireless - AnaheimRating: 5 out of 5

    My husband & I had never been to House of Blues Anaheim nor heard of Magic Giants before. The venue was small & intimate with great decor. We were blown away with the performances of all the bands, including the opener (Public). Their energy was palpable & we loved that they were so interactive with the audience. Loved the whole show!

  • So much fun!

    by OneMoreTime! on 2/7/20House of Blues Anaheim presented by Cricket Wireless - AnaheimRating: 5 out of 5

    This concert was so much fun! American Authors and Magic Giant did a collaboration like none I've ever seen. Two awesome headliners that intertwined their performances to produce and amazing evening! The level of interaction with the audience was fantastic, and the energy level was perfect! We danced all night, and left exhausted. We loved it!

  • The best concert ever!!

    by Hannah on 2/7/20House of Blues Anaheim presented by Cricket Wireless - AnaheimRating: 5 out of 5

    American authors and magic giant was so chill and sweet. They even came down the the crowd and dance with us!

  • Elbowed in the mouth by Magic Giant

    by BB on 2/7/20House of Blues Anaheim presented by Cricket Wireless - AnaheimRating: 4 out of 5

    I enjoyed it .. I wouldve gave it a 5 star but 2 things happened 1) it took quite some time for the show to start and I was gettin restless... is that normal for a show to start 1 hr late? and also the change between sets took too long to me.. 2) lead singer of magic giant elbowed me in the mouth and did not say "sorry"...im a little disappointed.

  • Great vibes and tons of fun!

    by Heather F on 2/6/20Ace of Spades - SacramentoRating: 5 out of 5

    This was a great show! Both bands performing one after another, together, some from AA with Magic Giant and vice versa, you never knew who was going to be on stage. The show was raging and the bands spot on and so personable. One of the best shows I’ve seen in a while. And Public that opened for them gained a new fan! They were perfect to open!

  • The energy was amazing! Loved this show!

    by BeBueno on 2/6/20Ace of Spades - SacramentoRating: 5 out of 5

    The bands intertwined sets created an environment of fun and great energy. The bands had the crowd singing, jumping, and dancing. Fantastic concert night!

  • Loved these bands and venue!

    by Cal on 2/6/20Ace of Spades - SacramentoRating: 5 out of 5

    I originally got these tickets specifically for American Authors, however I loved both bands and the opener. They put on an amazing show together and I loved the collaboration between the bands. They made the show fun and interesting. The venue was also very nice. Living in Reno there’s not many places like this, so traveling two hours to a nice venue like this for a great experience is definitely worth it!

  • Best Night of My Life

    by Kay on 2/6/20The Observatory North Park - San DiegoRating: 5 out of 5

    This was honestly the best show I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to a lot. The energy, the heart, the talent on that stage blew me away. They really got the crowd involved with the show and I loved that! Everything about this night was amazing, so much so that I decided to check out a second night of the tour after this! I would relive this night forever if I could!
