About

Future Islands are a band whose brilliance was always hiding in plain sight. One viral moment might have catapulted them to worldwide recognition, but they were just doing what they always did - pouring their heart and soul into every moment, and channelling art's great power to spread love and hope. It was, quite simply, who they are. Long, hard years on the road, and the sense of constantly traveling away from something, have shaped the band many ways, both spiritually and physically. Always leaving, never arriving, the horizon an impossible destination to be chased but never caught. Future Islands' new album As Long As You Are is out now on 4AD.

    Flipping awesome!

    by Anonymous on 9/7/14Port City Music Hall - Portland

    This show was perfection. The sound at this small but substantial venue was exceptional. The band ignited the audience and everyone was dancing and singing along. I love that Future Islands has a wonderful simplicity to them. No weird costumes, or wild lights. Just their talent and their passion for their work. Love, love, love! So glad we drove up from Boston to see them in Portland instead of going to Boston Calling. The intimate setting made all the difference.

    Coldplay was forgettable

    by Skeuta on 9/7/14Port City Music Hall - Portland

    Boy oh boy. Portland was great. I think I tore an important muscle in my knee. I'm not mad at anybody though. Not sure if it was from one of my sweet leg kicks or rad air jam glides. Anyway, I had one of the best nights of my life. The end.

    Future Islands Rules

    by HastalaVictoria on 5/3/14Webster Hall - New York

    There is no way to go wrong seeing Future Islands. This was my fourth time seeing them and I just want more!! Webster Hall is a fine venue. It was my third time there and I've always enjoyed the show. All of the staff and security I've encountered have been very pleasant people to deal with and the drinks are solid. For $17 I had a double Makers and ginger ale and it did the trick. One more after that and it was time to quit. There isn't much of any place to sit, but that's to be expected, you're not there to sit, you're there to dance! And dance we did. Oh man, Future Islands rocks my world every single time. At the end I just wished I could press replay and do it all again! The opening acts were awesome too. Many good times.

    Future Islands - Best Show Ever

    by RalfE on 5/3/14Webster Hall - New York

    I've seen many bands play, but this one was the best thus far. The music was on point There was plenty of dancing and a lot of romantic energy in the room. The lead singer knows how to put on a show, keeping the crowd involved the whole time.

    Amazing Band

    by Shizuka on 11/23/12Music Hall of Williamsburg - Brooklyn

    It would have been the best concert (so far), if people wouldn't kept walking on stage. I HATE IT. Samuel doesn't need all that "dancing" around him. He is such a strong performer that having all that people on stage was just awful and it ruined the show for the others. ("JUST GET OFF OF THE STAGE ALREADY AND LET THE MAN SING!!!) Some people are way to selfish to understand when to back off.

    Awesome. Future Islands never fails to impress. Samuel puts on a great show and feels the jams. Great show.

    High Energy Crowd

    by emeightythreefan on 5/3/12Paradise Rock Club - Boston

    This is one of the greatest shows I have ever been to. The crowd was really into the whole set and the opening acts were also great. I really enjoyed seeing Skimask outside of an Allston basement!

    Powerful stuff

    by JimmyG25 on 5/3/12Paradise Rock Club - Boston

    Gotta say, Future Islands lived up to my high expectations. I was told they rocked live and had some seriously good energy. I was really excited to see them and hoped that I would not be disappointed. The lead man is a whirlwind of sincere sweeping energy. They are kinda loud, but not in a bad way. There was even some dancing!

    Sam Herring is a golden god!

    by JohnWoodsman on 4/20/12Bowery Ballroom - New York

    This band has everything they need to become masters of the universe. Gerrit (keys) and William (bass) stand like pillars of some great temple of worship while Sam puts on the lightning show front and center. Best shows I've seen in a long time in New York, and the Bowery. And to top it off, the audience was actually entertained (NY audiences over the past few years have become so boring looking and dis-interested, it seems).

    exceeded expectations

    by bedstuybk on 12/3/11Bowery Ballroom - NEW YORK

    All I can say is that what I expected and what I experienced was unlike any show I'd seen. Sam kills it. I've never seen a front man own a show more than him. The conviction of his performance is unreal. I will be seeing them front row when they come back.

    Seriously one of the best shows ever! We have been waiting years to see them play in NY again and they did not disappoint.
