Sufjan Stevens Tickets

when an artist says they're working something out on stage, you rarely get the feeling that they're telling the truth, especially when it's something so seemingly elaborate. but knowing sufjan's love of first takes and just the simple fact that his tour morphed from somber performances of the entire album to this cross catalog revery, not to mention the unhinged way it evolved into full on dance party, it's hard not to feel like we may have truly seen the final culmination of years of grief processing. simply the best concert i've seen.

One of the best performances I've ever seen. He is incredible! This was my first show at the Hollywood Bowl and I will definitely be back!

We went to see Kurt Vile and left after Surjan's opening song. The line to purchase Kirt Vile t's, music was long; no one in Surjan's line so a lot of people came to see Kirt. Hollywood Bowl is "a must go" concert experience. Very chill, allow bottled wine and picnic askers/chillers, rent $1 cushy seats etc. great crowd, mood, views.

Sufjan was absolutely amazing, the production and talented musicians behind the show were also incredible!

Hearing Sufjan Stevens, one of the most talented folk artists of my generation live at the Ryman Auditorium was multi-dimensional. First off, he played his new album, "Carrie & Lowell", in its entire form, with no pauses. This made me feel like I was seeing them one-on-one. Truly a magical feeling. Then he performed his hits from the past two decades stripped down with banjos, mandolins, and guitars. That is when Sufjan shines more than any other musician I know. Last, but not least, the entire band simply jammed for over fifteen minutes, non-stop, showing their versatility and craftmanship. All in all, Stevens delivered one of the best performances I have ever seen. Totally worth every penny.

Good. Opening act exceeded expectations. He released a themed album, so he played the entire thing and seemed to put his all into it.

This was my first time ever seeing Sufjan Stevens perform, and the experience was unforgettable! Carrie & Lowell is a poignant album, and Sufjan's live performance of the songs is emotional and perfect! The light show, diversity of instruments, and incredible visuals add another level of depth to the beauty of Sufjan's words. The Alabama Theatre is also an incredible, intimate venue! The staff is so courteous and extremely helpful.

I have been wanting to see Sufjan Stevens live for years now and he did not disappoint. Personally, Carrie & Lowell is my favorite album of Sufjan's--and that is saying a lot. I obviously expected an emotional and intimate experience but it was much more than that. He managed to balance quietly haunting, stripped-down tracks (i.e. "Death with Dignity") with more melodically complex, grandiose performances. The lights, harmonies, and backdrops perfectly complimented the setlist. The few spoken words he did share regarding life and death towards the end of the show were beautifully and honestly delivered. He closed with a few older favorites, including "Chicago," which I really appreciated. Sufjan is an absolutely brilliant artist and a beautiful human being (or angel...)...Overall I would say this was probably my favorite musical experience to date.

Set was beautiful, songs were soulful & serene. Incredible performance.

My girlfriend asked me if I was looking forward to the Sufjan concert. Well, yes and no. I lost my mom to cancer in 2014 and I have listened to this album over and over, always thinking about Mom while listening. So I was looking forward to the live show, but uneasy about being emotional. I had my moments, starting with the first song. But listening to live music through tears, while remembering a loved one is a difficult, but precious experience. I hope nobody has to go through the kind of pain necessary to write an album like this ever again. But I'm thankful that Sufjan was able to put this all together. The show mixed in songs from previous albums as well, and he joked about how so many of the songs he was singing were quite sad. He kept the mood light and we all left with smiles on our faces. Big thanks to Sufjan and all who made this music and tour possible.

Ovens is a beautiful space with great sound, and Sufjan and his band really used the space to the fullest. He made us hold our breath with quiet solo acoustic songs, and then blew us away with loud electronic jams and a wild light show. Very professionally done, jam packed with great songs. I know sufjan fans like to hear sufjan ramble and banter but he didn't talk as much and focused more on the music. Great show!

Sufjan made me want to "bear down" with my life! Didn't say a word during the main set, but was quiet casual during encore.

From start to finish Sufjan wove his melodic musings with the intensity of a tornado.

I'm a huge fan of Carrie and Lowell. Great songwriting. The live set had some good high moments and it sounded good. What made the show less stellar was a pin-drop-quiet auditorium with no engagement or breaking up the quiet here and there. It was too much for two hours. I've been to many acts in the past where they have been seated shows that sound better when the audience is quiet however there are usually moments here and there that 'break it up' a little bit so that it's not too tedious. Also, there were no 'awe' moments with respect to musicianship. It seems like a highly controlled set without skilled musicians showing us anything amazing. What was good was Sujfan is a terrific songwriter with good vocals also and it was great to hear him play so many songs that I really like. I give it a 3/5.

Sufjan was incredible. I wish I could see him at every stop on the tour.

One of the most special concerts I have ever been to. Must see.

The show was nothing short of amazing. There were several moments throughout the performance that left you in awe. The skill, creativity, lighting, and collective genius onstage leaves you feeling rather humbled. It was a gift, an absolutely unforgettable night.

he puts on a great show and has incredible talent along with his bandmates

The Sufjan Stevens who performed bore absolutely no resemblance to the regaled singer songwriter whose unique artistic abilities made Illinois one of the best albums of all time. He seems to have become so self indulgent that 15 minutes of new age jamming is now considered a crowning accomplishment. A major disappointment.

I have been a fan of Sufjans for years! And finally got to see him live for the very first time, and to say the least, I was amazed. It was such an unforgettable experience. I was blown away the whole entire time. His show definitely had a bunch of emotion in it. I can't wait to see him live again! :)
