Franz Ferdinand Tickets

It was one of the best shows I've seen there since h.o.b's opened. I've seen many bands play, and by far and away Franz killed it! They played all there hit songs plus there new ones.

The show was awesome, as usual. Not quite as amazing as the last time they were here, but great nonetheless. But perhaps that's just because hardly anyone in the balcony was standing up or dancing. Not sure how one can NOT dance at a FF show, but if they did they would have had an even more amazing time! They are AWESOME.

What another great show put on by Franz Ferdinand. They were full of energy and had the crowd going. My only complaint which is minor is they should have closed with a better song or two. I will be seeing them again in a few days in Austin!

Great show, should have played more of the 2 record or some of the slower songs but great energy.

I've seen Franz 3 times and every time is better than the last. They play full sets and put everything into it. Major props to Scotland's finest !

They were really great performers, the crowd was awesome too. good concert.

The show was great. Lots of new tracks in this one but with enough old classics to satisfy any fan.

This was my third time seeing Franz Ferdinand in the past year and even this show felt like a first, the huge grin I had on my face throughout this set does not happen frequently and it said it all. Lead vocalist A. Kapranos' energy, style and showmanship is one for the rock n roll history books, REALLY. Franz Ferdinand is one of the greatest live bands not only of the 21st century but of all time. You are destined to keep your feet moving at any FF concert.

Best venue ever, excellent band, fantastic energy.. loved it!

This concert was more than just amazing, it was incredible. The opening act usually make you think something like: "I want them (opening act) to finish so I can see the main act", but not this time. The Palma Violets were great at playing their songs and getting the audience pumped and excited for Franz Ferdinand. Franz Ferdinand played all of their greatest hits and some of their new songs. Everything was more than perfect. Franz Ferdinand is a band that everyone that enjoys alternative rock should see.

The show was amazing, Franz Ferdinand is the best band!!!!!!!

Outdoor venue at Humphrey's on Shelter Island, San Diego is wonderful! Not much "seating" available but it's a cozy intimate outdoor setting. I want to go back there to watch another show!! Franz Ferd - what can I say ... they were phenomenal as usual. Alex's sexy vocals were outstanding! The entire band killed it!

It was am amazing show and the band as always gives it their best. San Diego seems to just want to stand and stare and not really dance or cheer, which makes me sad. That's why a lot of bands skip SD and stop in LA, which is horrible.

It was just amazing! Franz Ferdinand are one of the best bands!

Awesome band to see in a small venue. The sound and energy exceeded my expectations.

They play awesome live. The band as a whole gives an electrifying performance, not to mention that they interact with the crowd, which gives the concert a more personal experience.

My first Franz Ferdinand concert and it was absolulety amazing. Worth every penny (pretty cheap tickets!), and I can not wait to see them again. If you can, go see them live because they are amazing. I was lucky and got right in front of the stage. Go see them!!

Franz ferdinand was always on my favorite band list, I drove down to Rhode island to see them and it was SOOO worth it, GREAT TICKET PRICES, only feet from the stage, they put on a very good show, great live!!! Alex(lead singer) decided to crowd surf, right where I was, what a moment, so much fun!

Love this band on CD, but thought that they didnt come off live very well. They dont translate their powerful changes as well in the live performance as they do on the recorded material. So I wouldnt recommend them live but I also wouldnt say they were bad or anything, just thought it lacked a bit of punch.

Despite the fact that it was pouring out and I'd forgotten my raincoat, my friends and I had the most amazing time at Malkin Bowl. I'm American and had never been to Vancouver before, but it blew my mind-- though the rain dampened our clothes, the crowd's enthusiasm was definitely not affected by the adverse weather. The sound quality was excellent-- we got to hear the sound check, seeing as it was an outdoor venue, and they spend a lot of time fiddling to make everything sound perfect. I generally dislike venues with a barrier that's far away from the stage; but it made sense, seeing how high up the stage was. I was right on the barrier and let me tell you, it makes all the difference-- especially for the short ones among us :) The guys were nothing short of amazing-- as always-- and did their best to come out as far as they could on the stage to get close to us, even though all their equipment had to be shoved back under the overhang. Alex Kaprano and Nick McCarthy's moves were in top form, and the sound was tight as ever. It was my fourth time seeing them live and it's definitely tied for best show with their April 13th 2009 gig at the Moore Theatre in Seattle, WA. Plus, with it being outside in the rain and the dark, with huge trees all around, the atmosphere was even more intense. The band is unbelievably energetic and charismatic onstage-- even Bob was moving around and getting into it. Everyone was dancing the entire way through, and people were polite enough to not go crazy with the shoving or crowding. The band played quite a few older favorites and some of the best songs off the new album. Now that they have three albums and countless b-sides, they can really pick out the cream of the crop to make the best show possible. Compared to their previous shows (I saw them in 2005 and 2007 as well) the new songs definitely create more of a darker, dancier, edgier atmosphere than the band used to have, but without losing any of the glorious fun and abandon they always exude. The extra synth parts and breakdowns are a marked difference, and it definitely works. It's nice to see them go off and break away from the structure of a song and just go mad with it. They've definitely got their own sound that's inimitable, despite how many have tried, and it's amazing to see how their music has evolved over the last five years Part of the reason Franz put on such great shows consistently is that they don't feel any need to act cool or posture-- they're having a great time onstage and it shows throughout. Especially when all four of them jump on the drum kit at the same time--an old Franz tradition-- you just get the feeling that they'd be making music no matter if nobody was listening. And that's the best kind of band out there. They are so well attuned with each other and with the audience-- Alex is especially great at getting the audience to participate in the songs throughout the entire show. And their encore was absolutely killer-- I don't think I've ever danced harder or jumped higher in my life. And for further proof of fan appreciation, they rewarded the few of us who remained after the gig (after the rain had started pouring harder than ever and prompted most people to leave after a half hour or so) by letting us come inside the venue and up onstage to hang out and chat for over an hour. They played for an hour and a half and the show ended at 9:30, but we didn't get out of there until 11:30 because they were just so darn nice. All four guys hung around and though I'd met them once before, it was nice to actually have a chance to have actual conversations with them. They're all lovely in person and are more than friendly, not to mention humble. They were surprised when my friends told them it was my birthday-- they couldn't believe I'd spent my night out in the rain watching them. If more bands could be like them, I think the world might be a much happier place, hah. It doesn't matter if they're playing for thousands (like at Bumbershoot in Seattle the following night) or for hundreds, Franz Ferdinand put on a fantastic show. But if you can, see them at a smaller venue! It really makes for the best experience and it's nice for them to play intimate venues in between the huge coliseums and stadiums. All in all, an A+ perfect night. Totally worth being soaked to the bone and cold for hours. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
