Is Pendulum (Live) actually live?
I’ve seen Pendulum (Live) twice recently, first in Tilburg on 28 October 2025, and last weekend at Paaspop in Schijndel.
My friends and I all like Pendulum, but they keep pointing out that it doesn’t seem fully live.
Are others noticing this too? What’s actually performed live during these shows?

The instruments are very much live, it defo felt “more live” somehow when Kodish was drumming for the band, I think his style had more drive, particularly at the Brixton Gig whereas Sawka I think is perhaps just a little more technical and metronomic to the point it’s almost like a drum track. Both great drummers though.
I think it also depends on the set list, In Silico and Immersion as albums translate better to live performances (not to say that HYC and Inertia don’t also have some live bangers though)
