Declan McKenna

This was my first time seeing Declan McKenna and he put on an spectacular show! To start, the concert was right on time so he went on exactly when we were told he would go on. His setlist wasn't incredibly long, so his performance ended at around 9:55-10:00. His vocals and band sound much clearer and better live than in the studio, and he connected with our audience very quickly. The crowd wasn't too wild; my side was pretty calm so Dec didn't come to interact with us as much as he did the middle and the other side. He interacted with the audience as a whole multiple times and was very humbled by everyone being so excited to be there. The amount of energy he exerted into his performance and every song was unlike anything I'd seen. You could tell how much his music and the show meant to him just from watching him perform.
After the show, he came out from backstage to meet fans by the merchandise table, and Declan was so incredibly kind and sweet to every single fan he met! My friend and I talked with him briefly about Arcade Fire and we got photos with him and he took his time to talk with every single one of us, so that was a very cool detail. I also got to meet Matt Shultz from Cage the Elephant after the show (!!!!!) since his brother's band was the opener. Overall, his performance was phenomenal and I would 100% recommend seeing Declan if you haven't already because he absolutely blew me and everyone else away.

I went to Declan's concert at the KOKO.

It was great. Music was great, support was great, everything was great... apart from one thing.
Declan or anyone else couldn't have really changed this but I felt like the crowd wasn't as welcoming as the crowds from oter concerts I have been to. The vibe from some people (not everyone some were actually really nice)was a bit unfriendly. Sometimes I felt really unwelcome. The crowd, especially on the floor, was not great. It's hard to explain. But I think it was just this concert. I have seen other videos of Declan on this tour and people seemed really nice so I guess it was just at this one. I also talked to my frends who went with me and they didn't agree with me on this, so it also might just be me.

But Declan was amazing. Loved it. Support band, Feet was great too. I've started listening to their music too.

Overall, great concert. would go again.

It was amazing I loved it! Before the show, I got to meet the opening band Dan Luke and The Raid while waiting outside in line and they were so nice! At the venue, it was very easy to find a good spot to watch from. Declan came out on stage in a mask before the show started and the crowd went wild. The show itself was great! My mom recorded most of the show for me so I could enjoy the show in the moment and look back later. After the show, I bought merch from both Declan and the opening act. It was very affordable merch so I was happy. I got a picture with Dan Luke and The Raid and I got to meet/take a picture with Declan Mckenna which was amazing! Declan was so nice and sweet! I would love to go to another show of his when he comes back to the states, which I'm sure he will because he's going to blow up one day.

If you are considering going to see Declan live, you should. You won't regret it.

I became a fan of Declan after discovering Paracetamol and instantly fell in love with his passionate singing and songwriting. However, live you can see the emotion in his eyes.

He is a born entertainer and loves interacting with the crowd whether that's touching hands with fans or crowd-surfing. He even climbed on the speaker in front of me. He was literally above me and I even managed to capture the moment on my phone.

You can clearly tell how much Declan adores music from the love he gives to us fans each show.

I will definitely go see Declan again and you should too. No matter whether it is your first time or twenty seventh time, the show will be one to remember.

The show was phenomenal~ the venue was intimate, and the opening act brought their own unique energy that made for a happy crowd, all the while hyping them up for the main act. Each and every audience member felt personally addressed by McKenna's performance, especially given that he left the stage more than once, at one point even running up to the the balcony and preceding to jump down among the crowd, but not before giving everyone up there a high five. Lastly, for a moving encore, both acts came on stage together to perform 'Listen To Your Friends'. The vibe in the room was good and the energy high. To top it all off, both bands stuck around after the show to sign merch and take pictures, embracing the fans and making everyone's week.

Declan is a singer worth seeing! At the Sinclair, he came on a bit late but Dan Luke and The Raid played and kept us entertained! When he came on, he was so hyped and ready that he got the crowd really excited and myself included! He had such great interactions with the fans, he threw things out (mostly flowers), and he even crowd surfed a couple of times! He eventually climbed a balcony and landed on others and I! I really loved the energy and the passion he brought on Tuesday night to Cambridge, he made this concert experience the best I've ever been to. I look forward to seeing him back in the states. I highly recommend going to see him!

High energy performance, which delivered and expanded expectations. Although he was ill, Declan managed to powerfully portray is musical repertoire in an engaging, and what look effortless performance. As this was a Halloween show, him and his band were dressed up in Ghostbusters attire and even added an extra musical number, the theme song, to their setlist. The banter and chemistry between Declan and the band was clear with the hilarious back-and-forth comments between them. The crowd clearly enjoyed themselves and fed off the excellent energy from the performers. Overall, a brilliant performance with many stand out moments.

Seeing Declan live was an EXPERIENCE. He’s so talented and his songs are so fun to dance and sing along to. I also loved how small the venue was because it was an intimate show, my favorite types of shows. Declan is also the sweetest + he met people after the show. His opening act, Chappell Roan was the cutest and she lit up with happiness every time we would cheer her on. Both her and Declan are so talented and deserve more recognition. If you have the chance to see Declan, do it!! It’s such a nice environment and small shows like this don’t happen often, especially with growing artists.

Really enjoyable. We sat in the circle. He did a great selection of songs mixing in the hits (or more popular songs). Second time i have seen him but the first was in a festival so Monday night was definitely an improvement. I didnt understand why people were making mosh pits when looking down at the crowds as he's quite chilled. Really enjoyed it overall was so glad I could go and I will definitely be seeing him again!! Come back to Manchester soon xx

Declan was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere was super fun and hyped and everyone was so pumped!! He is RADICAL live and super energetic! It was definitely the best and most fun concert I have ever been to and meaningful because we all got to share in a special moment with Declan and his band when they played one of their new, unreleased songs for us!! ❤ Absolutely marvelous experience, you should totally go see him if you can, he is SO fun!!!!
