AMAZING SHOW - MORE TRUMPET!!
by Lex on 2/21/25The Factory - Saint LouisRating: 5 out of 5I had found Hippo Campus last year because the song "baseball"was sent to me (because I am obsessed with baseball). I instantly fell in love with their music and saw a notification that they were playing near me on Valentine's Day, so I bought the tickets over 6 months ago.
I was expecting a good show, but this exceeded my expectations!!! The sound was great, the energy was awesome and the TRUMPET showed off!!! I feel like the trumpet is not as spotlighted in their recorded music, and I wish it was so much more!! DeCarlo Jackson, the trumpet player, was so talented, and played such a wide variety of instruments. I wish they would've given him a good spotlight when he played solos.
The Factory is a wonderful venue, super accommodating, safe, clean, friendly staff, good vibes, and good views. My only suggestion would be to specify to ticket buyers whether there would be chairs set up in the General Admission area or not. I had been to a previous concert there that did have chairs set up in GA, but it was standing room only at this concert.
