About
FIRST AID KIT IN CONCERT:
With their pitch-perfect harmonies and expertly crafted arrangements, Swedish indie folk duo First Aid Kit have become one of neofolk's fastest rising stars, breathing new life into the genre with their minimal, mesmerizing compositions. Sisters Johanna and Klara Soderberg's achingly beautiful voices weave in and out of one another with an intimacy that underscores their sibling relationship, making their deeply personal songwriting all the more emotional and rewarding. The girls stunned with stripped-down renditions of songs like "Ghost Town" and "Emmylou" at their 2013 shows, building anticipation for their 2014 tour dates in support of their third studio album.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born and raised in suburban Sweden, sisters Johanna and Klara Soderberg began singing and recording songs together as teenagers, receiving their first radio airplay in 2007 when a local Swedish station picked up their demo "Tangerine." An EP released the following year would result in wider attention, after their cover of Fleet Foxes’ "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" became a YouTube sensation, eventually resulting in a performance of the song alongside the band at a concert in the Netherlands. After making their full-length debut with 2010's The Big Black & Blue, the girls embarked on their first world tour, performing more than 100 shows on three continents. The band's 2012 sophomore album The Lion's Roar was an even bigger success, leading to a virtual sweep of the 2013 Swedish Grammis and setting the stage for the release of their highly anticipated third studio album in 2014.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"This band lays it all out in performance. Klara and Johanna's dynamic on stage is as lovely and easy-going as their gorgeous harmonies. One of the highlights for me was when they went without mics for 'Ghost Town' and had the audience join in singing."
"Their voices are strong and beautiful. Absolutely wonderful performance, some great surprises."
"These girls are incredible live. I was blown away!! They are very talented and super cute. Loved every bit of this show!"
Rating: 5 out of 5 Rating: 4 out of 5 The Salt Shed is great (but it's best if you're tall)
by JenB32 on 7/25/23The First Aid Kit show was my first at the Salt Shed. Loved the band--I've seen them before, and their music/harmonies were tight as ever. The Salt Shed is really cool. Great "converted warehouse"vibe when you walk in--wood floors, etc. Well marked merch booth, bars & bathrooms. Also, bathrooms are huge & extremely clean. I wish you didn't have to pay extra to sit (although I know this is standard operating procedure.) I'm in my 50s and short, so standing on concrete for hours isn't ideal. I wound up towards the back, so I could hardly see the stage all night. I wish the floor was a bit raked or something to provide better sightlines. Really did enjoy the venue and show though!

by sunmoonstars on 7/25/23If you get the chance to see First Aid Kit love DO IT!! They are phenomenal performers! It was such a wonderful concert it felt like it went by so fast because I enjoyed every second of it. The opening act The Weather Station was really great too. I have been waiting years to see them live and I’m so glad I was finally able to see them. Highly recommend seeing First Aid Kit!!

Rating: 5 out of 5 We love First Aid Kit
by GlennS on 7/21/23It was my 6th time seeing First Aid Kit. Most of my friends have never heard of them but they are in my top 10 favorite bands. The show was really great. Excellent sound in one of the best venues. My only wish is that there was at least one camera for i-mag on the screens so we could see their faces close up.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Insanely beautiful harmonies
by mshackoc on 7/19/23As a part of a professional female duo myself, I am so grateful that a friend told me to check them out and now we are spreading the word. Their harmonies are other worldly and their lyrics inspire me - I am so glad I got to experience their music live - They were so engaging and it was so worth it racing from our gig to theirs (even in the heat of this intense summer!) Highly recommend!!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Band slapssss, venue got way too hot
by historynotbuff on 7/18/23Everything about the band’s performance was incredible, including lights, set, sound, and stage presence. I will be a First Aid Kit fan for life!!! The Fillmore Philadelphia needs to properly ventilate their space. It got way too hot for everybody including the Klara and Johanna!
