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.”
This was my second time seeing The xx and they never disappoint. They were simply amazing. They sound amazing and put on a fantastic show.
The show was fabulous. The XX was incredible live, the sound was amazing, and the lights were unbelievable. The seats were great, and I had the best unforgettable experience!! It was so great that we were allowed to bring in our own foods and drinks, which the experience 10 times better.
Such a great show. A wonderful surprise when the Hollywood Bowl orchestra showed up behind them on stage to accompany "Intro" along with a couple other songs, ending with "Angels."
Excellent show, lights, lasers, and sound. An Unforgettable expirience.
The XX are AMAZING in your car, iPod, to stream but man - they are soo much better live. I never understood the concept of a band sounding better live BUT i do now. Their vibe and sound and stage presence is unparallaled. I've been a fan for many years now and this is the first time i've had the honor of seeing them live. They're the best.
Awesome show, great sound. & most incredible light show!
great show. awesome. the last songs with philharmonic were great. loved being able to take my own bottle of wine. The XX are an amazing band. loved the concert.
Drove up from San Diego for this show. The venue was amazing. So cool that everyone can bring snacks and wine bottles...and if you didn't bring any, you can buy it there! Also awesome that you can rent seat cushions for a dollar each. Recommended. The sound quality was great and so were the visuals!! The parking is "stack" parking so I thought it would take forever to be able to leave but it wasn't too bad. Great experience overall.
the riff's that this chick creates is mindblowing! they are all amazing and talented artists
xx was amazing. the philharmonic joining them was incredible.
If you ever get a chance to see the XX live, do it. You won't regret it!! Everything about the show was amazing.
I just wanted to write this review to hopefully bring this issue to the attention of the people who run the Hollywood Bowl. The XX was fabulous, the lights were amazing. However, a group of 7 people in the row in front of us was standing the entire time, despite no one else in the whole section standing. People first asked nicely for them to sit so that the rest of us could see, but the group became hostile and refused. Security came to talk to them twice yet never made them sit down. It really ruined the night for us as we could not see the concert. It would have been nice if security had done something about it, as it made it very difficult for a large group of people sitting behind them. Since it was a sold out show, there was no where else for us to move. I hope in the future perhaps security can come up with a solution to this.
All 3 bands where amazing!! All my friends had so much fun...great concert experience!
Magical, best show ever, cant even describe it, loved it...
The opening acts of Austra and Chromatics really set the atmosphere for a phenomenal concert. The xx was surreal, the lighting was amazing and the Hollywood Bowl was an amazing atmosphere and made the xx that much better. You could really feel the emotion in each song the xx played. The xx were honestly better live than on cd or ipod, even though i love their albums on both those. Overall an amazing show! LOVED IT!
Probably one of the best concerts hands down. The energy was amazing, vocals were amazing, the interaction with the crowd was on point and the venue was perfect for the xx.
Austra and The Chromatics opened for them,and they were great! Once The XX hit the stage,the crowd went nuts! It was such an amazing concert!!! Their lighting was spectacular! My heart skipped a beat,eh eh,ha anyway,this was one of the best concerts I've been to! :)
Exelent place, really good sound And The show was amazing
great show, great seats. crowd ok- not much dancing/ lots of sitting
The show was incredible! No exaggeration. Polica was lovely, i fell in love with their band. The XX put on an amazing well put together show, My only complaint would be that i wish it were longer! It was so good i never wanted it to end. They really only played for an hour sadly.
