DANCE GAVIN DANCE IN CONCERT:
Ever since its inception in 2005, post-hardcore outfit Dance Gavin Dance has been a wildly unpredictable band that's weathered several lineup changes, including more than a couple frontmen. However, fans will be delighted to find that the group's current roster is solid and they're more electrifying in concert than ever before. 2013 saw the addition of singer Tilian Pearson, whose high-pitched falsetto perfectly complements Jon Mess' screamo backing vocals. Guitarist and chief songwriter Will Swan's groovy yet technical riffs shine alongside Matt Mingus' precision drumming as the band roars through songs that borrow from hardcore, funk, soul, and hip hop. Their acrobatic instrumentation and quirky lyrics add up to rollicking live performances that'll have ticket buyers begging for more.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Dance Gavin Dance was formed in Sacramento in 2005 by former members of Farewell Unknown and Ghost Runner On Third. The band self-released their debut EP, 2006's Whatever I Say Is Royal Ocean, before inking a deal with Rise Records and releasing their 2007 full-length debut a;bi, Downtown Battle Mountain. Between 2008-2014 they released four more albums on Rise Records with a constantly fluctuating lineup that included former frontmen Kurt Travis and Jonny Craig. Their fifth album, 2013's Acceptance Speech, was the first album featuring vocalist Tilian Pearson, formerly of progressive rock outfit Tides Of Man. The band finished 2014 on a high note with a headlining tour of the US and recording sessions for their highly anticipated sixth studio album.

The best experience I’ve had in my entire life, for my first concert, the lineup was absolutely perfect, Dance Gavin Dance couldn’t have been any more perfect!
Dance Gavin Dance is amazing live! I still can’t get over it. The only downside was 4 opening bands is a little much. They were good as well though
We got an email that we needed to be there by 5pm … they didn’t start letting VIP until 6:30 and general admission almost 7 and the show started at 7pm .. I thought that was ehhhh The VIP package was supposed to include a plushie as well we didn’t get that and a signed poster … only 3 out of the 6 members signed . I was sad to not have gotten Will’s or Matt’s signature . Performance was amazing - knowing that Jon wasn’t 100% and he still killed his screams cuz of covid. It was amazing.
Bought Ultra VIP through TicketMaster (not resale) Loved the concert but did not receive VIP meeting information until almost 1pm the day before the concert. Not great, considering I had a five hour drive to the venue.
Every band played their hearts out. Special shout-out to polyphia for being so clean and veil of Maya for showing a new song!
The venue was awesome!!! Small enough that no matter where you were standing, it was perfect. Drinks were stupid expensive, but that’s to be be expected at a show. Between Polyphia and Dance Gavin Dance, it was one of the best shows I’ve been to in the past 15 years. Couldn’t have picked a better show for the first show post-Covid cancellations. Can’t wait for the next one.
Not only is Dance Gavin Dance PHENOMENAL live but the venu (The Fillmore) was awesome! DGD is my all-time favorite band and the concert surpassed all my hopes and dreams for it! There was a scuffle in front of me when a girl was elbowing people to get to the front and the venu crew handled it flawlessly! Will absolutely be seeing DGD again!!
This show was by far one of the best I have ever gone to! Great sound and experience! I will definitely be seeing them again.
The show was amazing! Polyphiaand Dance Gavin dance but on a EXCELLENT show
Despite dealing with covid, general illness, and some more delicate matters, DGD knocked it out of the park again! The supporters were amazing and polyphia needs more merch because I am officially in love.
Everything about this show was amazing minus the covid restrictions.
Absolutely amazing! Love seeing DGD live. Openers were great too.
Everyone was very cooperative with the Covid restrictions and qualifications. I felt very safe taking my mask off because I knew everyone around me either did not have Covid or was vaccinated. Made it easy to have fun.
The bands were incredible. However!!!! I bought this ticket so I could see Wolf & Bear. The ticket said the show starts at 5:30. So we are there at 5:30 and you know what??? Wolf & Bear had already played!! I missed the band I literally bought the ticket for!! I waited months to finally go to this show and watch this band live, and they started early. The tickets had the wrong time on them!! Incredibly disappointed...
The entire experience was amazing! Loved the performance by DGD. The energy and fun made it an experience to remember
Songs for DGD for this set were subpar at best Decent show to say the least but wish they played better songs
I couldnt have missed it. I qill never forgot and never mot think about how great a time I had. I screamed so loud and danced so hard, i felt likenmy soul was free and i had nothing but my emotions and my ears.
The event was canceled, which I thought they would reschedule but they didn’t
It was the best...i crowd surf for the first time and im 40...all the band were amazing, despite some leads not being there...outside of Rockfest, one of the best concert tours I've ever been to... and the venue was awesome
