Didn't sound great
by Mel on 6/25/24They don't sound like they do on their recorded albums. Maybe it was the venue, but they just didn't sound great. Good setlist picks though
NEON TREES IN CONCERT:
If Neon Trees' kaleidoscopic image is a perfect fit for their name, the band's sound is an even more fitting realization of their moniker, all punchy drums and prismatic synth lines.? Ever since being tapped by the Killers as openers on their2008 tour, the Trees have been an impressive live presence, delivering adrenalin-filled shows full of dance-ready songs like "Animal" and "1983." Frontman Tyler Glenn floored fans with his showmanship and intensity on the band's 2013 tour dates, and with a new album due out in 2014, he'll be bringing it harder than ever on the Pop Psychology Tour 2014.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Initially formed in California by singer Tyler Glenn and guitarist Chris Allen, Neon Trees soon moved to Provo, immersing themselves in the Utah Music scene and making a name for themselves in the region. After touring with the Killers in 2008, the band signed to Mercury Records and released their 2010 debut full-length Habits, an impressive first effort that spawned several singles and earned the band their first No. 1 with "Animal." 2012 follow-up Picture Show was an even bigger success, leading to tour dates with a slew of big name acts including the Offspring, Maroon 5, and Taylor Swift. With their third album Pop Psychology due out in 2014, the band are on the road once again for another high-octane tour.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Neon Trees' performance is always so energetic and interesting, it really does make the experience unforgettable. Tyler Glen is a performance genius and his voice is like butter."
"The lead singer is a fantastic performer. His dancing is contagious and makes me happy. They vary the songs, so they are not exact repeats of the CD version, and they go all out every night they perform."
"Neon trees put on an absolutely great show! The lead singer has ridiculously awesome stage presence and his energy is infectious. I would definitely see them again. "

Could have been a really great show. However, no one could hear the lead singer. The first two openers sounded fine. I'm not sure what happened when Neon Trees went on. You could barely hear him when he sang and absolutely could not hear him when he spoke to the crowd. I'm don't know if this was an XL Live issue or and issue with the band. Bummer.
2 stars because opening bands were great. Neon Trees frontman/singer was in a bad mood and actually spat on the front row of fans. He also complained constantly about crowd's lack of participation. Disappointing. We left after spitting began.
Awesome, amazing, love this band!! Crowd was pretty tame, and there was drama happening among the girls standing around me, but I didn’t let that stop me from letting loose and having the time of my life!! ??
fantastic show!!!! high energy great songs!! the band was really into it!!
I love them, they put on an incredible show. It's been far too long a wait. Cant wait until they come back!
Venue always clean and helpful staff in case of anything
Loved The Observatory. Staff was awesome and Neon Trees energy is fabulous
We upgraded our tickets to see Neon Trees on 10/2/23 to get in early to the foundation room. Worth it! We had such a great time up there. Atmosphere was awesome and staff was great. Show was awesome. Definitely coming back. (See if you guys could book Robyn; she would be amazing in this venue)
