Flume

I think the concert was in fact not so good.
The sound itself in the Columbia Halle Berlin was terrible, way too much bass, so much that you could sometimes barely hear the rest. The loudness was ok. Not too loud. The lights and visual effects were awesome.

But now comes the very poor point: Flumes DJ skills are very modest. He played a lot of the songs from 'Skin' (which is cool) but there were almost no remixes/ new stuff/ or at least some additional drums over stuff. The crowd stopped dancing several times because there was no beat, just synth pads. That's ok once or twice, but it seemed to be his main way of transition. I personally go to a concert to get two hours full with dancing and "Aha!" moments due to for example new unheard beats over some classics or similar.

Then also he made the beat become slower a few times which made us think he'd finally drop a remix and then he just played the original drop in the original bpm. Like wtf. The crowd literally STOPPED dancing several times although the people itself were actually very hyped.

He barely did anything on the mixer. And the set was only about 60-80 minutes of time.

Besides that he let the crowd wait for about 90 minutes before making the crowd think he'd be coming soon several times which was taking away the excitement big time after two or three times.

2/5, I'd have expected WAY more of a producer as skilled as Flume is.

I have been to a lot of gigs and concerts in my life however The experience of seeing Flume was off the richter. Vince Staples was the lead in act and he was totally out there !
The theatre and drama of Flume building the beginning of his set was just stunning with a huge sheer curtain cascading down at the first big drop of his first song. The entire huge, mosh area and stadium was just heaving to The Top and Lose It, however when Like You came on everyone was up on their feet singing and dancing, their love for Flume was overwhelming.

His special guests of Kuscka and Vince again on Smoke and Retribution was just awesome.

The graphics, lighting and smoke machines with live shots of Harley out of focus just added to this edgy performance. Flume aka Harley is so humble and came out to thank his hometown crowd, in which they repricprocated in spades.
He came back on stage after a deafening audience willed him back on to recreate Like a Version he performed on Triple J. Three more songs and the crowd was satiated. Easily the best concert I've been to with out of towners abuzz about it the next day. Love love Flume. I will be at his next concert, that's a certainty.

Seeing Flume at the Observatory in Santa Ana which is a smaller venue compared to where he will be playing in Los Angeles in Club Nokia was amazing. After the opening act, he came on stage around 10:30 PM. He was on stage for approximately and hour to and hour and a half. It was a long wait for him, but it was well worth it. He did not disappoint me whatsoever. He played his most well known songs: Holdin On, You & Me (Flume Remix), Tennis Courts (Flume Remix), Hyperparadise, Insane, Sleepless, Stay Close and more! He even gave us a sneak peak to one of his new songs. It sounded amazing! That was a very exciting part of the concert. The visuals and lights made the concert even better. The visuals and lights were paired and in sync with the music. The lights would go crazy at the drops. Flume definitely knows how to get the crowd going. He is very into the concert and you can tell how much he cares to put out a good show. Overall, I enjoyed myself at his concert even though I was uncomfortable 80% of the time because of the people behind me, but obviously that has nothing to do with him. I was constantly being rammed into the wall as I was front row.

I am very displeased with this whole situation I was put through with flume. I had my tickets bought and printed out for me, and when I received them, there was no indication that this concert was 18 and over. No where on the ticket was there black writing that stated it was 18 and over. I am 17 turning 18 in a few months and you can imagine my misfortune when I see all my friends who were able to get in and I was stuck behind because I was unaware of the age situation. I later then had to return my tickets, and wait alone for 1 hour to get a ride to come and get me. Then I missed my opportunity to see one of my favorite artists because of a two month age gap. I can not believe the whole situation I was put through and I will never buy my tickets for the Shrine, because they were very rude and not understanding at all when I was trying to ask questions about what I should do with my ticket and this service. They said and I quote "You better wait on the street and hope some kid will buy them". They lacked proper communication skills for dealing with these situations and this venue has definitely lost my favor.

Harley Edward Streten is best known by his stage persona of Flume, the Australian DJ and producer is one of the most exciting new artists in the electro/dance scene with a number of iconic names all vying to work with this young newcomer.

Having achieved huge commerciality in his native homeland with his debut self-titled album topping the chart, he has built a fan base that spans the globe. His live show is a barrage of lights, smoke and high quality electro which keeps his audience dancing into the night. Playing a variety of material from his highly acclaimed debut including successful singles such as 'Holdin' On' and 'Sleepless'.

It is when he drops his unique remixes though that the crowd really begin to lose their minds in Flume's self contained dance world. He has worked with a variety of the indie scenes most recognisable artists such as Arcade Fire and Chet Faker so when he plays their tracks the audience cheers rapturously. His finale of Lorde's 'Tennis Court' and Disclosure's 'You and Me' is clear proof Flume is one of the most exciting names in new dance music right now.

I saw Flume last at the Roundhouse earlier this year. That was a far better experience, which is a shame as this had so much potential.

The soundsystem was no match for the venue. I could speak without shouting and be heard, with the higher range of the music echoing and the bass booming. Flume's sound should totally envelope you and this just didn't happen. Much of what he was doing on stage was totally lost on us.

Likewise, Flume did not treat us to any tracks off the upcoming EP, which was a missed opportunity.

That said, he has vastly improved in engaging with the crowd and he did have a few treats in store. The mixing was true to his vision of his gigs being more of a "theatrical" experience. Rather than being 100% all the time, he gave us highs and lows that us longtime fans recognise as his signature.

Venue was well organised.

Overall 5/10. Good but not spectacular, expected more.

Once flume was on, he was great, but he didn't start until 9.20 and myself and my friend were standing waiting for him from 7, thinking he'd start at 8/8.30, and as we had to get the last train back to where we live (which is outside of London where the concert was), we had to leave at 10.20 and so we missed the end of the show. I was especially surprised at the late start seeing as it was a work day and I expect lots of people had to go to work/school the next day. If it was a Saturday, I'd have understood more.
I feel like I somewhat didn't get the experience I was hoping for, and I know I wasn't the only one as people started booing at around 9 when he still wasn't out and the second support act had finished 15 minutes before hand.
Overall, flume was awesome, but the wait was ridiculous and annoying, and made us miss the end of the show.

An amazing audio and visual experience, the venue was good since it was not too small but not too big. Being a foreigner in Germany, the people were nice enough, some people gave us some weird looks. Besides that, a very welcoming crowd will follow Flume around. Just a disclamer though, if you are looking to see "more" out of flume, he wont be too fun in concert as he plays mostly just his own tracks without any type of mixing or change. Almost sounds like he is pressing play on his Spotify. But either way it was beautiful and I throughly enjoyed!

Good concert and sound, however the flashing lights (especially in the beginning) were not suitable for the size of the venue, it was impossible to watch the stage ceveral times (epilepsy warning).
Flume makes good music although he's not a great,entertainer (thank you in between each song, gets boring) He should make it into a proper show!
Would also be good to have some organic music on stage (drums, guitar, synth in addition to the singer). Looking forward to seeing Odesza!

Absolutely amazing show. I was super pumped to be going, and the concert not only met these expectations, but also exceeded them. From 10 minutes in until the following day, I carried a smile thanks to the time and effort Flume has put into making his concert as incredible as possible for his fans. The visuals, the soundsystem, even the fans were everything I want to experience at a concert. I will be fighting to go to any/all shows of Flume's from here on out!
