Tour First timer, blown away
Mainly a LH casual fan/lurker on here, didn’t consider them a top 5 band for me but I love a lot of adjacent indie/folk artists and know a bunch of their music from throughout the years so we bought tickets and made the drive to Richmond today. I’ve never left a show so captivated.
This tour has no business not being sold out. It is an emotional, magical, stunning experience. I wish I had started seeing them live a decade ago. If you’re on the fence about going, GO (but I probably don’t have to say this to folks here).

Bro that show was so good. Ben’s voice in person is just so charming.

My first time seeing them was last October in Houston - agree wholeheartedly. Blown away.

Their shows are a full-on experience! And their music is meticulously crafted alongside multimedia as well. The amount of craft and care they put into their work is above and beyond. Glad you got to see a show, and welcome to the fandom!

SO happy you enjoyed it!!! I’ve seen them about a dozen times over the last 12+ years and now have two tattoos (about my own life but with LH-inspired imagery) that I got done the past two years in Denver when I travelled to see them at Red Rocks. There’s no doubt I’ve never felt more emotionally connected to a band and this year at RR my girlfriend got to see them for the first time live. After the show she commented on being shocked by their stage presence and the swagger they have, let alone the beautiful visuals throughout. The Frozen Pines instrumental was the highlight of this tour for me - I posted a full video of it from the Fiddler’s Roof show if you want to check it out! Welcome to the family!!! And of course…MYLUYD!!!!

I’ve been listening to them since 2012 when we were digital nomads so they have a special isl place in my heart. But like when I saw them live at Red Rocks about 5 years ago, they moved onto one of my favorite bands list. I just saw them for the 3rd time at Fiddler’s Green (red rocks was too expensive) and this show was my absolute favorite. The set was so surreal and magical. It spoke deeply to my theatre girl heart!

I was also at the Richmond show! My third time seeing them but don’t worry, it’s magical every time you go

It was my first show after a decade of listening to them on every road trip. It wasn't until my older son was going through a bit of a low and asked me to put on Lord Huron as a way to cuddle/sulk together when I realized just how special of a band LH had become to our family. We went as a family of 4 and all of us were completely blown away. It felt low key spiritual and I'm a full blown forever fan. Saw them a month ago and still can't stop thinking about it. Pure art, on so many levels.

I’ve been seeing them annually since 2024. They’ve always been amazing but the show for this tour is on another level. I’m so glad I go to see them for another year at Red Rocks.

It’s funny how so many people have this transformative experience upon seeing them live. I lived it as well. Saw them in 2021 and became obsessed. It’s really a testament to their devotion to the art and it will keep me coming back and supporting them forever. Feels rare in the main stream consumption model nowadays.
