About

Belle and Sebastian are a Glaswegian indie band, known for their wistful, intellectual lyrics and melodic style and often compared to musicians such as Nick Drake and bands such as The Smiths. Many believe that they are the definitive sound of modern indie folk in Scotland. They formed in 1996, taking their name from the French children's book, Belle et S�bastien. Their sound is considered to be unusual and distinctive, and it has inspired a loyal following, although the band has never sought widespread commercial success and has in fact often shunned excess media coverage.

Originally signed to Jeepster Records, the band released a number of albums before signing with Rough Trade Records in the UK and Matador Records in the US. Their discography includes the studio albums Tigermilk, famous for being recorded in only three days, and If You're Feeling Sinister. They were both released in 1996, with the well known Boy with the Arab Strap released in 1998, Storytelling in 2002, The Life Pursuit in 2006, and Belle and Sebastian Write About Love in 2010. The band have also appeared on various compilation albums and live albums.

The band has received a number of award nominations, including the BRIT Awards' Best Newcomer, an Ivor Novello and the Mercury Music Prize. They also hosted their own music festival, the Bowlie Weekender, and were voted the Greatest Scottish Band by The List in 2005. Their music has appeared in a range of films, and they have toured throughout the UK, Europe and America. One particularly notable show was at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in front of a sell-out crowd of 18,000. Band members also worked to compile a CD collection of fresh children's songs along with a range of artists, including the Flaming Lips and Franz Ferdinand in 2006.

  • Great Show!

    by Christina E on 5/7/24The Salt Shed Indoors (Shed) - ChicagoRating: 5 out of 5

    The band was great as always! The venue was nice, but I am not a fan of the GA section. It’s longer rather than wide, and very difficult to see if you are shorter (I’m 5’5” and had no view).

  • Great band, bad venue

    by Bk on 5/7/24The Salt Shed Indoors (Shed) - ChicagoRating: 2 out of 5

    The band was great, as always. General admission got me standing room in a crowded floor of 300 people and no way to see the band. Should’ve paid extra for a seat. Plus there weren’t any chairs in the bar/food area either. People were sitting on the floor. Belle and Sebastian played the Riviera last time and it was such a better venue! Skip the Salt Shed.

  • Our second time in Anthem

    by Iveta on 5/5/24The Anthem - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Awesome show. Loved to get paper tickets as we can save them for display of the shows we had seen over the last 25 years (the last Belle and Sebastian show we saw was in 2002 in 9:30 club). Really appreciated that Anthem had cups of free water available for anyone. Also the food we got was very good, I think it was steamed buns with pork belly.

  • Belle and Sebastian = Perfection

    by Shellboat on 5/5/24The Anthem - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Nonstop fun from start to finish. They put on a fantastic show and sounded superb! They've made a new fan in me.

  • Brooklyn Paramount Rocks!

    by PerryParker on 5/4/24Brooklyn Paramount - BrooklynRating: 5 out of 5

    Went to the Brooklyn Paramount for the first time to see my beloved Belle and Sebastian. What a beautiful new venue! A great place to see a show, all the staff was super-nice, I loved the selection of whiskeys at the bar. Just minutes from Manhattan. Can’t wait to go back there!

  • Meh

    by NJ on 5/2/24History - TorontoRating: 3 out of 5

    Solid venue, suboptimal performance. Or maybe I'm just not a fan of the band as much as I was 20 yrs ago 🤷🏿‍♂️

  • Amazing Show😎👏📈

    by Wingnut on 5/2/24History - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Very interesting and entertaining. The backscreen with customized background videos for every song was a bonus, and enhanced the experience. Loved the fun banter with the audience - fun show

  • Great, Great concert

    by Gustavo on 5/1/24MTELUS - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    Amazing front man, ambience, great concert of this influential band

  • So good

    by Emi on 5/1/24MTELUS - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    This band was amazing. They were also really funny.

  • the Orpheum sucks

    by MarkAF on 4/30/24Orpheum Theatre presented by Citizens - BostonRating: 3 out of 5

    Belle and Sebastian were wonderful, amazing -- but the venue was such a bummer it was a distraction. Bands like this need to be in a hall where we can dance, not someplace that is so uncomfortable, too crowded, poor sight lines. Never go to the Orpheum!

  • A Show of Deep Dives and Rare Beauty

    by JBr on 4/30/24Orpheum Theatre presented by Citizens - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    I've seen Belle and Sebastian at least 8 times (I've lost count), and I felt pretty sure that I knew what I would hear. There would be a good number of tracks from the latest album, Late Developers, and then the chestnuts that they always play (I'm a Cuckoo, The Boy with the Arab Strap, and Judy and the Dream of Horses) and some surprises. I had not looked at any setlists before this show because I like to be surprised, or at least validated in what I think they will play. WELL, was I wrong. Yes, we got Piazza, New York Catcher and Arab Strap, but we also got some of my favorite songs, most especially Stars of Track and Field, Mayfly, and Dear Catastrophe Waitress. I'm not going to risk spoiling future shows for anyone; I'm just saying that people should go see them on this tour! The band was tight, the voices soared, and the mood was infectious. For me, it was their best show in years. I was grinning ear to ear the entire night. I didn't think any band but Sparks could make me this happy.

  • Really corny and disappointing

    by Liz on 4/30/24Orpheum Theatre presented by Citizens - BostonRating: 1 out of 5

    The projections completely ruined the show. Why were they necessary? It made the whole performance hokey and embarrassing. Please never do this again.

  • Brilliant!

    by Chmac on 4/30/24Orpheum Theatre presented by Citizens - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    Great energy, better sound quality than their studio recordings. Such a talented group of musicians.

  • They've still got it!

    by K-Rock-3000 on 4/30/24Orpheum Theatre presented by Citizens - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    Lots of surprises and great performances by the band. I've been a fan for 25+ years and this was one of my favorite shows. So great when they brought fans up on the stage with them - the band seems to truly have fun as well - which is rare to see.

  • Thee Sacred Souls Stole the Show

    by M. S. on 6/7/22Greek Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5

    Opening act, Thee Sacred Souls, were astounding. The lead singer Josh Lane is the best thing to come along since Smokey Robinson and Marvin Gaye rolled into one soulful package. The band, overall, is amazing. Their sound is unique. Frankly, they simply stole the show: Tennis and Belle & Sebastian pale in comparison.

  • Fantastic show!

    by E Katz on 6/7/22Greek Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5

    Our first concert since the pandemic began and it couldn't have been a better experience. The band were in great form, the sound was fantastic, and the song selection balanced the old and new perfectly. The band gifted the audience with love and joy. Don't miss this tour.

  • Great night but bad experience at the entrance

    by Ambrus on 6/7/22Greek Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 4 out of 5

    As we were going through the entrance, I was told I can't enter the premises with my Fuji x100v camera. I asked what difference they see between that and my iPhone camera that was right next to my Fuji in the tray. They said that the problem is that the Fuji is an interchangeable lens camera. I told them no, it isn't, it's a fixed lens camera; the iPhone on the other hand has three lenses in it. They said that may be the case but the Fuji is still a zoom camera. I said, no it's actually a fixed focal lens camera so it cannot zoom. The iPhone however can. At this point the person told me flat out: "sir, your equipment is not welcome at this event". This negative experience put an unnecessary damper on an otherwise great night.

  • Fantastic show

    by Bowie fan on 6/7/22Greek Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5

    So good to see Belle and Sébastien live. Very enjoyable show. Felt like it was over too soon. Good times!

  • Amazing Fun Night

    by Jay on 6/7/22Greek Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5

    Seeing Belle and Sebastian at the Greek was delightful! I went with a close friend and we had a blast. The price of the food was a little high, but it tasted way better than other venues (Sofi Stadium). We had great seats, the show felt so intimate! Will happily see any band at Greek - perfect venue!

  • Awesome concert

    by Casey on 6/7/22Greek Theatre - Los AngelesRating: 5 out of 5

    Had an amazing time, both Tennis and Bell & Sebastian sounded fantastic. The Greek theatre was a perfect size venue for both those bands. I would go see both play again anywhere.
