BEIRUT IN CONCERT:
Beirut combines orchestral pop with world music to create intriguingly complex songs that are also infectiously catchy. Bandleader Zach Condon helms everything from vocals to flugelhorn to bring a uniquely diverse sonic palette into each sugary-sweet pop confection. In concert he surrounds himself with top-notch musicians, who infuse the band's indie rock sounds with eclectic folk instrumentation. By incorporating so many different influences, Beirut makes their concerts feel like a globe-trotting adventure for ticket buyers, who can’t help but sing along to familiar favorites like “Elephant Gun” and “East Harlem”.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Zach Condon was born in Albuquerque, NM in 1986 and raised predominantly in neighboring Santa Fe. Though his experience in jazz band taught him how to play trumpet and helped him gain an appreciation for complex musical expression, Condon dropped out of high school at 17. The budding prodigy was exposed to the diverse musical traditions of Europe on a soul-searching trip abroad, and he immediately began incorporating a wide range of international styles into his home recordings. Adopting the moniker Beirut, he released a collection of demos as his first full-length album Gulag Orkestar in 2006. The record became a surprise hit following the viral success of the music video “Elephant Gun”, leading Condon to put together a live band for an impromptu tour. The lineup stuck, and the group’s 2011 album The Rip Tide converted an entirely new segment of fans when the single “East Harlem” was featured on Pitchfork’s Best New Tracks. After a period of intense personal issues, Condon thrilled fans in 2015 with the announcement of Beirut’s fifth album No No No. As they continue to tour the world, Beirut seems destined to absorb the musical influences of every place they visit, incorporating each new sound into their signature chamber pop masterpieces.

Came to the realization that I enjoy Beirut in 30 minute lengths. Any longer and it wears thin, and after an hour and a half it grew really thin. Still nice.
Incredible experience every time we've seen Beirut, and the Wiltern was an excellent venue for them to wrap up their tour. The Wiltern clearly has a system down (between wrist bands before the door, and servers who come to you if you want a drink!!)
Just the best show I’ve ever been to. Zach Condon’s voice is so dreamy and the rest of the band is beyond impressive.
It left me utterly speechless. Now when I listen to them, I can’t help but tear up, because I want to relive the experience all over again. Those trumpets and melodies...ugh, I’ve fallen more in love with Zach than ever before. Incredible.
Their recent show at the The Fox was fine, but not great
This show was phenomenal. I have loved Beirut for 10+ years and finally got a chance to see them live and they did not disappoint. Zach Condon's genius is mesmerising.
Really enjoyed the concert, their sound is unique and so was the production
Hugely disappointing. The playing was stunted and flat & the energy was dismal. The show was dull and boring. To be honest we left half way through so don’t know if it got any better. Went home and listened to their studio recordings - couldn’t believe it was the same band!
On a scale of 1-5 I would give it 12 stars it was amazing
This show was incredible. I have been following Beirut since I was in college and have been wanting to see them live in concert ever since. When I saw they were coming to a town near me, I was ecstatic. Their show was amazing - from the instrumentals and vocals to the lighting. They sound even better live and i was so moved by their perfmance I even shed a few tears a couple of times. I would gladly go to see them over and over again should they continue to come to areas near mine.
