Cage the Elephant is a powerhouse rock and roll band from Bowling Green, Kentucky, that combines blues, classic rock, and funk into an eclectic and raucously fun sound. They formed in 2006 and signed to Relentless Records after playing the 2007 South by Southwest music festival. The band’s self-titled debut studio album was released in 2008 to commercial and critical success, spawning singles “Free Love,” “In One Ear,” and the hit “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked,” catapulting the band into the UK and US mainstream. Their sophomore album Thank You, Happy Birthday reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart with singles “Shake Me Down” and “Around My Head.” Cage the Elephant toured relentlessly for ticket holders in 2009 and 2010, opening for Foo Fighters, Manchester Orchestra, Silversun Pickups and Stone Temple Pilots. Their third studio album Melophobia came out in October 2013 on RCA Records with the single “Come a Little Closer,” opening up their sound with alt-rock and punk textures. They will finish out the year in concert with their high-octane and kinetic live show in support of Muse.

Venue was great. History was a great place to see a pumped up show like cage the elephant. It was super clean, air conditioning running high, security seemed organized. Felt safe. Only issue I had took too long for band to come out. People standing close together for hours waiting. People were having anxiety attacks. One guy had a leg brace from an injury and had to leave his spot. People were having anxiety being in such tight quarters for too long and left. That was disappointing to see. There was discussion in the crowd that they weren’t coming on. The performance was awesome when they did eventually get to the stage. Maybe there was a explainable reason but the time delay caused a lot of stress for the fans. Hope band sees this comment and makes a better effort to preform in a reasonable time frame.
cage the elephant can really put on a show. it was amazing. 10/10 recommend, tell ur mom
Was very excited for this show. Saw them when they played with Beck at the amphitheater 4 years earlier and they stole the show. Was disappointed there was no opening act. Figured they would play a longer set considering no opener. Not the case, and they didn't even come out for an encore.
such great performers on top of great music! matt crowdsurfing at the end of the concert literally made my year. everyone should experience this at least once in their life
The band was awesome! The sound was a little off and they were supposed to start at 9pm and didn't come on until 9:35. Very annoying but they put on a great show!
Cage The Elephant was easily the best concert I have ever been to. They sounded just like the studio versions of their songs and overall had such a great energy! You could tell everyone was having a fantastic time. Matt was extremely interactive with the crowd, especially those that had GA (including myself). He was singing with fans, posing for pictures, and even laughing with us. The whole band was amazing and if you ever have a chance to see them live, definitely go!!!
Cage put on an awesome energetic performance played all the great stuff they were outstanding but the sound is probably the worst I've ever experienced it a concert and I go to tons of concerts it sounded like it was in a bad School auditorium it was echoey and abandoned instruments were all hard to hear and there was multiple times where there was loud feedback. Felt like being in a cheap bar instead of a major venue, although all the many cheap bars I've been in had better sound. I was considering never going back to history because of the sound but I'm giving it one more chance on the hope that because we were a bit off to the side that maybe we were in a terrible Zone although this still doesn't excuse it or excuse the multiple times there was feedback. Amateurish and terrible acoustic design
Show was ok. Had some sound issues throughout. Guitarists tone sucked, all his high register playing was off balance and very harsh. Singers voice has gone down a bit but overall was an energetic performance.
Best show I have even seen. Felt like 70s rock n roll sososoooo good
