Four years after forming in a London school, The xx unleashed their 2009 eponymous debut via Young Turks. The 11-track collection not only earned accolades from critics across the globe, but it also scored the U.K.’s coveted Mercury Prize and landed the dream-pop band in the limelight stateside. Singles from their indie-label foray graced American television programs like “Person of Interest” and “90210,” as well as a Karl Lagerfeld runway show and NBC’s coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
Along with their own headlining theater tours and concerts alongside Friendly Fires, Hundred Waters and The Big Pink, the musical trio has performed at several festivals, including the Matt Groening-curated All Tomorrow’s Parties in 2010, Coachella, Sasquatch Festival and Lollapalooza, among others.
For their most recent effort, 2012’s “Coexist,” the indie pop outfit expanded their ticket-buying base with post-dubstep EDM influences. Though mellow, these touches can be heard in the album’s first two singles, “Angels” and “Chained.”
They sound wonderful live which is rare for live performances and they have great chemistry! I can't wait to see them again
If I hadn't had a medical test, we would have gone the next night too!
Smoke and mirrors, I would expect nothing less from The xx. Being my first time experiencing them live, I will say they did not disappoint. They went through a range of emotions with their tracks, from Jamie's pumped-up edm hits to Romy's intimate solo rendition of "Performance." Oliver very much took the reins in addressing the audience, making jokes about being single and not wanting to screw up "Replica." This concert was for everyone. Die-hard fans, interested newcomers, and people of all ages and ethnicity was there to appreciate The xx's master performance. Highlight songs of the night? "On Hold," which had everyone moving, and "Angels" the dreamy, shoe-gazing encore. Never has there been a crowd filled with more energy and anticipation than tonight. All I can say after that is "thank you" to this extremely skilled and genuine band.
The xx did it again. A completely ethereal show. The set seemed a bit short to me, but what was there was awesome.
They are amazing live, second time seeing them. Was not disappointed!!
The xx are truly beautiful souls shining bright and sharing their light with the World! ❤️
Sampha delivered! He played most of his new album, with passionate vocals, a soothing stage design, and energetic and on-point instrumentation. Don't miss him!
Evening of perfection starting with beautiful weather, fantastic venue, and a brilliant, mesmerizing performance by the XX!
Great Show! The opening act was not on point, but The Xx put on a fantastic performance.
Great show but a little quiet at times. Halfway through the band really picked it up and started to flow from song to song. There was a Jamie XX interlude where he DJ'ed for about 8 minutes and that was the most memorable part of the show. Conclusion: Need to go to a Jamie XX set.
They did incredible arrangements on old and new songs, and the lights and show is really amazing.
This was my first time seeing the XX, and they did not disappoint. I wasn't really fan of the opening act, it was a bit too techno for my taste. After standing in the crowd too long during the opening act, we decided to sit up stairs, which was also my first time. This was better, I'll get into that later. The XX came on a bit late, but it was worth it. The played beautifully, and I couldn't wait for the next song whenever they ended the last one. A great encore, and the act made us actually feel that this was their favorite place to be. At least they sound convincing when they said it.
I waited 3 years to see The XX.... And it was a night I couldn't forget. I ended up going to another show, because they were performing for 3 nights in SF. I went through a roller coaster of emotions once they started to perform old songs from their first album. MUST SEE!!
Starting off a hard week of finals I knew I needed something to ease me. Going to see the Xx was just what I needed and it made me so much more ready for the week to follow. The sound was amazing and the music was something that I will never forget.
This was such an amazing night. I was feeling a bit under the weather and almost skipped the event. I am so glad that i didn't because their music helped me forget that I was sick. They were absolutely amazing.
This concert was fantastic. There are very few bands that sound better live. These guys are one of them. There voice and energy were great to watch and hear. Really loved the show and these guys were very kind in addressing their fans. Not over the top. They have their own style. They played for about 2 hours straight.
I had been waiting for years to see The XX live and of course, they did not disappoint! Their energy could be felt throughout the room and you genuinely felt that they love what they do. When they announced Sampha was their opener, it was over. I knew the concert was going to be amazing but they superseded all expectations. I would totally go see them both again.
It was a great show. I felt like the space between the opener and main event was a little long though.
One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Jamie XX is hands down the best artist on the planet, and it definitely helps to have 2 incredible vocalists that give me chills.
The XX were ahhhhmazing live! BEST live show! It was freezing & raining ☔️ and I would have stayed out there for hours more to see this show.
