Incredibly fun
by Allie on 9/7/24Hayden Homes Amphitheater - BendMy first time at this venue and I had a great experience. From parking, to security check point to merchandise selection and food vendors.
The islands of Hawaii are not only the biggest influence on IRATION's sound they are home to all
of its members. IRATION was born from a love of all types of music and a desire to create
something new. Elements of reggae, rock, and pop are mixed with keyboard/synth and melodic
vocal lines to create something truly unique. IRATION is best heard in a live setting where you
can truly experience the full spectrum of their range. They have proven to truly have an
understanding of modern and traditional performance techniques that keep young and old fans'
hands in the air and heads bobbing.
?
In 2007, they recorded and released their first full length album, No Time for Rest, which
featured one of the last recorded performances by reggae legend Mikey Dread, who produced
accomplished musicians such as The Clash and UB40. Since then IRATION has released several
more recordings: Sample This EP, Time Bomb LP, and Fresh Grounds EP - which included several
songs that had much radio success (Time Bomb LP's "Turn Around" spent ten weeks at #1 on San
Diego's 91X FM) that boosted the band's popularity and opened the door for TV and other
media placements. They have been lucky enough to share stages with Kings of Leon, 311,
Incubus, Bush and many other talented acts in venues such as Santa Barbara Bowl and The
Wiltern Theater, as well as at events such as Cypress Hills Annual Smoke Out Festival, West
Beach Music Festival and Sunset Strip Music Festival.
?
After wrapping up their 2011 summer, which included festival performances at Lollapalooza,
Wakarusa, and 91X X Fest, IRATION continues to tour relentlessly and looks forward to
embarking on their 2nd annual Lei'd Back Tour this fall. These Hawaiian-raised naturally talented
musicians look forward to spreading their original sound, aloha spirit, and cutting edge surf
culture as far as possible and continuing to make original music.
My first time at this venue and I had a great experience. From parking, to security check point to merchandise selection and food vendors.
Great show! Such a good time and I absolutely loved the venue!
This was THE BEST concert I've ever been to, and was easily the best concert of the summer and year, all around! Thank you to Iration and all the other bands there foe putting on an incredible show, and also big thanks to the Botanical Gardens for allowing them an amazing venue to put it on!
Hope they come back next year this concert is a must see!!!!!
Always great to see them - botanical gardens is always great
The concert was really fun! Both bands were great, the venue was organized and the staff extremely friendly. My one complaint was that my friend and I split a bottle of sparkling wine, but it was put into two 12-ounce aluminum tumblers, so it was more like drinking beer than champagne!
The show was awesome! I love Iration and also very much enjoyed the supporting acts including Pepper, Denm and Artikal Sound System. The venue was great! The amazing sound, lights and smoke all added to the experience. Hope to see you back in Nebraska next year! ??
This show was one of the best Reggae shows I’ve seen in Omaha. Iration was tuned into the Nebraska crowd. Iration has performed in the Omaha area in the past and they really like the enthusiasm of the Nebraska fans. The new Astro Amphitheater venue was the perfect setting for a spectacular night of Reggae music. Couldn’t ask for anything better in entertainment.
Iration , Pepper , Denim And A.S.S was an EPIC concert . Loved the final performance where all 4 bands graced us with a song . Venue was AMAZAING . Staff was so helpful . Table Seats are EXCELLENT. Private Bathrooms and bar was a PLUS !!! Can't wait for the next Iration show or concert at the ASTRO !!!
Iration is such an amazing band ! The atmosphere, the music, the crowd was simply amazing ! Chicago really felt the love!
