What they’re saying

“This show has kept us inspired. Five nights turned into something bigger, and it only felt right to keep going. If we're going to do it, let's make it count, so we're adding SIX additional dates.”

“You can't truly understand until you start playing music with all the people there, feeling that energy and the way the visuals and the songs just consume people. The more I watched the fans having this experience I'm sure they couldn't imagine, the more ideas I had – both to reconfigure some of last year's songs, and a few songs that seemed like they should get this immersive treatment – and wanted to do.”
