Mosh pit was waaaay too crowded. Full of underage kids who were excited to be out past 11pm. Thus the pushing and shoving was out of control. I'm all for the pit experience, but it was out of hand for Crystal Castles. I've been to Slipknot concerts that were tamer than that. Once I got out I spent the time by the bar with all of the people who were there to enjoy the music. It was great after that!

Electro-punk extraordinaires Crystal Castles are excited to announce they will be coming to Australia in May for an exclusive short run of shows.
The ground breaking experimental act, famed for their raucous live shows, will be giving Aussie fans a chance to see their new material live for the first time, as well as playing all the well-loved tracks from their self-tittles albums I, II, and III. The Australian tour will be the first time the band have travelled to our shores since 2013, and comes hot off the heels of announcements that the duo has also been confirmed for two of the biggest festivals on the planet - Coachella and Bonnaroo.
Crystal Castles changed the face of electronic music and club culture when they burst onto the scene in 2008 with their mind-blowing debut self-titled album. Drawing critical acclaim, word spread of their explosive, unforgettable, and visceral live performances, propelling them to the forefront of EDM communities around the world. Headlining shows and major festivals all over the globe, the band went onto forge a reputation as one of the most compelling and energetic live acts in music.
Crystal Castles’ next two albums - Crystal Castles II and (III) - saw them continue to push the envelope and solidify their place in the upper echelons of experimental electronica. Now fronted by a new singer Edith Francis, and with a new album, 2016’s Amnesty (I) to their name, Crystal Castles is writing a new chapter in their already remarkable story.
“Crystal Castles became infamous for their anarchic, and raucous, live shows” – The Music
“one of the most vital and original acts of the early millennium” – CLASH Magazine
“how many acts have found ways of smuggling goth, rave, synthesized pop, electro and a festival-ready live act into rock crowds?” - Pitchfork
Expect nothing but an explosion of exhilarating energy, with all the favourite crowd-pleasing tunes as well as the band’s freshest material when Crystal Castles play Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Perth.

by nebi05722 on 2011-04-04Sound Academy - Torontoalice was still playing the concert even though she had a broken ankle, opening bands were enjoyable, vocals were very quiet when crystal castles were on but the light show and overall feel of the show was amazing and very fun to be at, would go again any time.

by Lief on 2011-03-30MTS Centre - WinnipegThey opened for NIN at the MTS Centre. Really great presence and performance but would have been better suited to a smaller venue like the Garrick or Pyramid in Wpg. An arena was too big. Good opener though.

Rating: 1 out of 5 Crystal Castles was a waste of money!
by Panda11 on 2011-03-09Commodore Ballroom - VancouverI looked forward to watching this concert and actually being able to HEAR and SEE the band. Maybe I was too hopeful thinking they should sound like the do on the radio? If the blinding lights weren't enough for my eyes to take the sound took it to the limit. Sound wise it was too loud, painful and the lead singer sounded like screeching, a friend of mine referred to it as a sound a crow might make "caw, cacaw." Nevertheless, their shakey sound system failed even before the concert was over. Definately a show you do NOT want to see the encore to.
