Franz Ferdinand Tickets

Scottish dance pop rockers Franz Ferdinand brought a real party atmosphere to the Commodore Ballroom last Friday night(April 25th). The band kicked off with the fast paced "Bullet" from their most recent release "Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action" and the band did not slow down until they left the stage. All the fans on the dance floor also danced non-stop to pretty much every song. However the one that got everyone jumping(and I mean literally jumping)up and down was their first big hit "Take Me Out" from their debut album. Other highlights included: Stand On The Horizon, The Dark Of The Matinee, Michael, Do You Want To, Love Illumination and "Darts Of Pleasure"(which a fan wrote a sign for them to play which they did even though it wasn't on the original setlist). "Outsiders" was also particularly memorable with all band members grabbing a pair of sticks and banging on the drums simultaneously. It was absolutely amazing! Finally they did a blistering version of "This Fire" during the encore and ended with the appropriately titled "Goodbye Lovers and Friends". Everyone left invigorated and completely satisfied including myself. Will definitely go see them again!

we didn't stop jumping. It was a great concert. One of the most energetic concerts I have been.

The concert was great.....Franz Ferdinand sounded amazing and the venue was perfect. I would definitely go see them again...

These guys are amazing! simply, I liked them a lot, that was my boyfriend first show and he was totally pleased!

A great entertainement! Did the whole new album plus a lot of their older sucess.

Franz Ferdinand never ceases to amaze with their professionalism and sense of rhythm. They are soooo tight! Spot on in terms of timing, and deliver a performance that will stick in your mind for tears to come. See them once, you'll want to buy a lifetime membership to their concerts, even if you're not such a big fan of the albums. Somehow, the energy is always doubled at the concerts.

I have seen Franz Ferdinand before at Malkin Bowl, and they certainly rocked, but in the smaller more club-like space at the Commodore, the effect was unbelievable. EVERYBODY was dancing and rocking out, what a great pumped-up show these guys put on!! Such a great experience for the audience..

it was incredible. they are better live than anyone else i have heard in concert. also they played a huge set so basically every song i could have wanted to hear was played. they had energy and they are so talented. awesome show

The show was amazing. So much energy, in the band and in the show. The only blemish was the fact that the upper levels were so hot that people actually left during the show so they wouldn't faint. But honestly - the band was good enough that most people didn't care.

The show was great. It seemed like an eternity until Franz Ferdinand actually appeared on stage, but once they did, it was magic. They played a long show and kept the energy levels high the entire song. They are better live than on their cd.

Pouring rain, and an entire dancing audience was an unforgettable experiance.

What an awesome show. Franz Ferdinand sounds just as good live as they do on cd. The venue was small and very personal. I loved, loved, loved this concert. After the show I made sure to purchase all the albums that I didn't own.

the opening band was less-than stellar, but once Franz got out there it was magic! We waited for over an hour while they did sound check after sound check, but the band sounded so good and a great time was had by all! It was one big club out there in the rain and the beauty of Stanley Park's Malkin Bowl. Best way to end my summer by far!

A fantastic concert. One of the best I've been at for a long time. The band was very fired up and gave an unforgettable concert at Malkin Bowl. I will definately be there if Franz Ferdinand plays BC again and will highly recommend going to a concert if Franz Ferdinand is visiting an area near them, even if they are not huge Franz Ferdinand fans.

The show was great. They were glad everyone came out in the rain and played just enough of their old and new beats to satisfy everyone. They were fun and sounded very good live.

This was a fantastic show. Music was incredible of course, and the band was tight--they played as a true ensemble, which was impressive in itself. It was really just an excellent show, even in the rain. I only wish they'd have played "The Fallen" and "Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On," but that is, I suppose, a minor complaint. I can't wait to see them again.

I'll be fair and let you know that Franz Ferdinand is my all-time favourite band, but that is definitely not the reason that I adored the show. They came it with full energy, backed by unmistakable talent and a varied setlist (see below). The guys are not afraid to interact with the crowd, and often came to the front of the stage to add excitement and personality (and to get everyone all hot and bothered, in my opinion). I will leave the rest for you to discover for yourselves, but be prepared for: a four man drum solo, some feel-good, upbeat songs, well-presented music (recording studio-esque, but with a lot of extra spice) and four very attractive men who clearly love what they do.

The band was awesome and the sound was awesome. Rain didn't matter. Whoever organized the lighting needs to rethink it. What happened to the opening act?

Bus pass: $1.75 Arrived at the concert at 3:30, waited in line for 1 hour and 30 minutes in the rain Umbrella confiscated: $5.95 Waited another 1 hour for it to start in the rain Watched a guest band play (which was average) Bought a teeshirt: $20 Waited another 30 minutes for them to come on soaked in the rain Watched them perform Lost my voice from screaming Overall experience from the concert: Priceless

The show was awesome, a MUST see band. High energy great songs, great playing. This is a band that you will regret missing if you don't go.
