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.”
The XX at the Hollywood Bowl was amazing! They put on an unbelievable show in a very comfortable venue.
The Bowl was a fantastic place to see the xx. They were great! Crisp sultry lyrics and sound. It was a great cap to the night. The Chromatics were good, a decent and relevant warm-up to the main act. Austra was just plain awful. They look, sound and act like kids that got pushed out of both the band and drama clubs.
I love the xx... One of my regular Pandora stations and iTunes play lists. I realized after i booked the tickets that I love listening to them for mellow- chill out music and found myself worried that I would be bored. The XX sounded amazing live- loved that they had the DJ mixing beats in contrast to the Hollywood orchestra. Very well done. My only complaint (if any) is that i wish that they would have done more of a dance beat to their show. She Wants Revenge has nailed that piece of their shows... While their CD music isn't necessarily "dance-y," their concerts are. I wish the XX had taken a little bit more of a remix/dance/pop version of their songs for their live show. That said- the vocals were amazing and really enjoyed their show.
It was an extraordinary event with spectacular lighting effect and incredible performances mixed with expressions of gratitude.
Great show. Fun. Everyone danced & had a good time. The XX sounded amazing! Even better live. So glad I got to see them this time around. Good people. Seemed just as excited to be there playing for us. They even had the Hollywood orchestra play with them! Opening band Austra was pretty cool.
The XX is my favorite band and this was the first show I've seen of them. It was amazing the every part and every song they played amazed me. They sound great and you can feel the intensity of them singing especially when they both would stare at eachother and walk away I've been to many concerts but none have wowed me like The XX did! When it was over I cried and I'm still sad that it's over. I'm an emotional baby don't laugh. But the XX!!! They are great! And I can't wait for them to tour again so I can see them!!!! Love The XX and thank you for brining great music into my life!
Absolutely phenomenal. The venue is just awesome and the XX was so dear. They are just so raw and so good live. They sound amazing and just really feel their music.
Such an incredible show! Great band!!! I would love to see them again!
The xx sounded great live. It was such a beautiful night to be at the Hollywood Bowl, the weather was perfect! Had a great time.
This was by far the best venue and concert I've been to. Their performance was amazing and I had a great time. I recommend seeing them especially with friends or bf/gf because it's a very romantic show especially with their music. I will continue going to their shows because it was so good.
Music and beats were sick! Lights were overall good but sometimes it would hurt my vision. Amazing show though, the XX is killing it!
The XX ! They had me swaying all night long with their beautiful music. I don't regret buying two tickets for my one year with my partner. The wait was worthwhile. I would recommend anyone. Family, really all ages would enjoy to see one of their shows.
I didn't really expect the concert to be anything special but that's what blew my mind! If anything, The xx was more than amazing! This was one event that happens once in a life time and for that I'm grateful. The opening artists set the tone for the concert with cool and easy electronic beats. Austra's performance was incredible while the Chromatics was okay. I really enjoyed the songs. The setlist was more than perfect. Towards the end, the orchestra played Together with The xx which made the even more epic. Again, The xx couldn't have made a better show. I hope they will come again to the Bowl!
Great sound! Played a fairly long set. Opening acts were entertaining as well
The show was incredible I wish they would perform here more often!!!
The XX are phenomenal live. They transform their songs from mellow to dance. They sound even better than on their CD which is hard to do. They had the whole audience captivated and off of their seats dancing. It was a great experience and I want to see them again.
It was freaking amazing !! Definitely recommend you see the xx & the Hollywood bowl at night is awesome.
Amazing performances. Great venue. Amazing acoustics / lighting.
The show was great. Worth every penny and enjoyed every minute.
The XX is one my favorite bands. They have intoxicating music and the Hollywood Bowl was the best place to listen to their touching songs on a Sunday night. Can't wait to see them again!
