New Politics Tickets

This night was incredible. I saw the ad for the Wilderness Politics tour a few months before the show and after listening to New Politics and some more Andrew McMahon, (whom I already knew) I bought tickets and decided to go. I was pleasantly surprised by LoLo, who has an amazing voice, and also the Griswolds, who are great performers and super funny and energetic. Since it was the last show of the tour, New Politics came out in bath towels to crash "Heart of a Lion" and it was hilarious. The best thing was that you didn't have to wait that long in between sets, it was sweet. When New Politics came out, the place exploded. Everyone was jumping up and down and the lights and music were so well-coordinated. The bandmembers, David, Soren, and Lou are undeniably passionate about what they do and you can really see that. Not to forget David's incredible dancing, which is sure to win you over. In a music industry where all that seems to matter is popularity and looks, this band stands out in the fact that they don't care what anyone thinks and their goal is always the music, not money or fame. David's little speech before "Overcome" was really inspiring and they are all such good and talented people. I got to meet them after the show and they're truly so down to earth. If you have the chance to see them, do it! You'll have a night full of happiness, I promise.

I've been to over thirty concerts, two of which were new politics also, and this one was the best. The venue was a perfect size, I was a little scared since I never went to this venue before that it would be crazy, but it was perfect. The also did not make you pay anything for water. The merch table was also very easy to get to and not crazy. They played an amazing show and I was lucky enough to meet them after the show.

The most fun energetic group I've ever seen. I❤️Lou

I'm a huge fan of McMahon's, so unless something really odd took place, my review would be positive. And it is. I bought a GA ticket so I could get close to the stage to hand-deliver an essay I wrote a couple years back after seeing him at The Paramount. His song, "Swim," is sort of an anthem for my family. My son, like Andrew, had recovered from cancer and is now living life to the fullest. I wanted Andrew to read my piece about "Swim," and what it means to us, and now I finally had the chance. (I had tried last year to get the essay to Andrew, asking his sound guy to give it to him after the show, since I couldn't stay. The LIRR train I had to catch was my priority that night! But I don't think Andrew ever rec'd the envelope.) So, this time around, I made sure I'd get it to him! After a few songs, he sang, "Swim." My son managed to get the envelope onto the stage. Andrew saw it, and said, "Oh, presents for ME?" My son said that it was actually from his mom. Andrew said, "I like getting presents from moms!" People began chanting, "Read it! Read it! Read it!" Andrew wisely said he'd get to it after the show. That was good enough for me! Then it was back to the music. I was thrilled that the show opened with, "Rainy Girl," another all-time favorite of mine. It was so beautiful! I got a little weepy. He did a bunch of new songs, "Canyon Moon," "Cecelia and the Satellite," etc. I was excited that he played Lie-Lie-Lie, but bummed that he omitted "Mixed Tape." But the experience was one I'll never forget, especially since I know he got my essay. He actually picked my envelope up off the piano, and as he exited the stage, waved it at the crowd. I hope he likes it! I love Andrew's music and would watch him play every night, if I could.

Andrew McMahon never disappoints. He spent so much time really making you feel this personal experience during the show. He crowd surfed and danced under a parachute with fans. He's fantastic.

Recently, I attended the Wilderness Politics Tour when they came to Boston last Friday night. I had seen New Politics in concert before when they opened up for Paramore and Fall Out Boy during Monumentour (summer of 2014). I loved their music, and I have listened to all three of their albums (a bad girl in harlem is my favorite). I was expecting a good show, considering lead singer David Boyd's breakdancing moves as well as their upbeat, jumpy, and energetic songs. What I was not expecting was to be blown away. New Politics have completely changed my perspective on what a live show should be. Never before had I witnessed a band interact and include the entire audience as much as they did. Their energy and passion for what they do just radiated off of them. They sang a mix of songs both old and new. I enjoyed how they brought out Chris Whitehall from the Griswolds during "50 Feet Tall" and Andrew McMahon during "Girl Crush". It added a sense of togetherness between the four acts of the show. After the show, I had the privilege to meet the band. Let me tell you, these guys are the real deal. They are so driven to make their fans happy. I still cannot believe that their live show does not get the credit it deserves. If you ever have the chance to see New Politics, take it. They will not disappoint.

Awesome show with a super long set by New Politics. Loll opened and I'm now a big fan of hers!

This was by far the best concert I've been to in the past 10 years. What a performance! The venue was pretty low key, but it a good way. Wasn't so crowded you couldn't enjoy the show. The bands themselves were absolutely brilliant. I've been following Andrew since "something corporate" and was so happy when he played punk rock princess. I loved hear new stuff from new politics. I think the put up and take down of the stage in between bands was quick, seems like everything was under control. Light display was awesom, Overall, AMAZING

New Politics made our trip well worth the 4 hour drive! Their set was awesome and very entertaining! Lolo was wonderful, too-I had never heard of her but am now a huge fan!

New Politics are amazing!!! They've become one of my favorite bands very quickly! I've seen them several times now and their show is always so energetic and just plain great!!! <3

Andrew put on a great performance as usual. New Politics surprisingly put on an amazing energy driven show.

New Politics was fun, energetic and really interacted with the crowd. Andrew McMahon was incredible. His shows are always amazing and I was not disappointed.

Absolutely amazing. Both bands are extremely talented, can't wait to see them again!

Wow what a great show and awesome venue. The House of Blues was perfect for this Halloween show and the bands were terrific. I took my two teenagers and found a great spot to hang and enjoy the music. I really enjoyed LoLo and the Griswolds. The head liners didn't disappoint either. I'll definitely be back to HOB for another show.

Hands down New Politics puts on my favorite live show!

So after witnessing awesome shows from Twenty One Pilots/Echosmith on Friday night (5 Stars aren't enough, exceptional show!) and Janet Jackson (more of a pseudo-fan but she and her entourage earned a solid 4-4.5 stars - Black Cat was metal, who knew?) on Saturday night, the Journey's Tour with The Griswolds, New Politics and Andrew Mcmahon in the Wilderness had a lot to live up to coming just 3 nights later. They proved ever the willing participants, making up for a lack of comparable visual technology with sheer energy and song craft. LOLO was a complete surprise, her opening 20 minutes a bit uneven but she can belt for sure. The accompanying guitar was just right and she was fun, would be a great front woman for a rock band. Next up, Australia's The Griswolds were excellent, kind of a throwback to 80's pop metal ("petal") with great songs and cool personas. The perfect choice for the slot. We saw New Politics last year and knew how much stage presence they command, two boys from Denmark and a New Yorker on drums with limitless energy and an amazing rapport with the crowd. The new album's better than the first two, and that says a lot. They were the surprise of last year's 20+ shows and they certainly did not disappoint! They pack more into an hour and 15 minutes than almost anyone I have ever seen. Backflips off the drum set and more breakdancing than before just add to the spectacle. Wasn't sure about the co-headliner on first situation, until AM in the Wilderness took the stage. Starting off with a very chill piano opening, he built to a high that is rare these days, inspirational life story, great musician and singer, and the kind of personality that brings a smile to every face in the building. The Wilderness album is my only reference point as I came to the party a bit late, admittedly only going to see them due to the New Politics inclusion. Fan for life now. The piano-centric show is different for my tastes (rounding out the year will be Heart,Winery Dogs, Motley Crue with Alice Cooper and Muse so you get the picture) but I would pay good money to see AM and Co. any time. The perfect pacing, skillfully ebbing and flowing with power and subtlety, new songs mixed in with old standards from previous bands but all songs enjoyable, and that is no easy accomplishment. Bringing New Politics out at the end is gracious and classy, always makes for a memorable addition when bands take the initiative to celebrate each other. The fact that there is a non-profit that does a bone marrow registry event at every show (over 1,200 registrants - 30 matches, lives saved by his fans all because of him) shows that as a 10 year cancer survivor, he is motivated to help others through it. THAT is heroic! Left with a big smile on a Tuesday in downtown San Diego on a perfect night. Best place on the planet is front row balcony at the San Diego House of Blues - great sound, awesome view and the most friendly and accommodating staff in every way...

I'm not sure whether New Politics (NP) and Andrew McMahon In The Wilderness (AMITW) are alternating the order in which they play during this co-headlining tour, but after having seen them both, I can say that both are well-deserving of the show-closing spot. Both acts put on highly energetic sets, with AMITW probably a little more intense than NP's unbridled fun. Both bands' singers made use of the security railing at the foot of the stage to get as close to fans as possible, with NP's David Boyd going all the way out into the crowd with his patended standing crowd-surf. A fun show, definitely recommended. And stay until the end - no matter who's playing last on the night you attend, they'll be worth sticking around for.

New Politics brought down the house and blew me away with their amazing rock beat and voice. Incredible showmen and worked the crowed with their energetic and friendly presence. Just an amazing show.

I first saw New Politics when they opened for Paramore and Fall Out Boy on Monumentour. I only knew a couple of their songs and really just wanted to speed through their performance and get to the bigger bands. However, New Politics drew me in and blew me away. Even not knowing their songs I was able to really get into the show and have the time of my life. This prompted me to see them twice more on their own tour, at Bogart's in Cincinatti and Newport Music Hall in Columbus. I've already purchased my ticket for the next tour. Their stage presence is INCREDIBLE. It is evident that they really want to be there performing for you. They are super involved with the audience and want you to have fun! Even if you aren't a huge New Politics fan at home, I recommend seeing them live.

New Politics blew the doors off the TLA Saturday night. They took their high powered energy into the small venue TLA and it was an incredible mix. The only down side was Bad Suns opening up for them. Somekindofwonderful started the night with a very good set filled with their own brand of energy, and then the crowd went to sleep during Bad Suns. It wasn't enough of a damper to ruin the evening though as New Politics came out and gave a Grade A performance. The boys from Denmark know how to rock!
