This was my first Incubus concert, and I honestly had no clue what to expect--luckily, it was a million times more than anything I could have imagined. They are unquestionably amazing live; Brandon is pitch-perfect and Mike is a ridiculous improv guitarist. The show itself seemed a bit short from what I've been to, and they didn't play a few of my favorites, but the performance itself made up for everything (the acoustic version of "Dig" was totally unexpected, but obviously sick). Being less than 10 feet away from the band was one of the most surreal things I have ever experienced...definitely seeing them again in the future

Well, this is my third time seeing Incubus live and once again i LOVED IT!! They are amazing, opening with Pardon Me, one of my favs...i was really happy they played Redefine!! I absolutely love that song...I wish they would have played When it Comes, Pantomime, Clean, Glass and I could keep going on forever but I was very happy with the set list!! I loved every song, my friend and i were singing along to every single song. Incubus is and will always be my FAVORITE band EVER!! They put on a great show...Brandon is the HOTTEST!! His voice sooths my soul...he's amazing!! Mike killed the guitar!! WOOHOO!!! he's awesome!! besides me having a panic attack while the dukes of spirits were on, i had the best time. I was okay in time for Incubus so that was a big plus!! My friend and i were like the only people there that didn't have a beer bottle in our hand!! except of course for the underage people. I thought the crowd was gonna get rowdy seeing how many people were drunk, but i had a great time!! I loved that they closed with Let's Go Crazy!! and i KNEW they were coming back out to play THE WARMTH!! YAYYYYYYY!! You had a great view of the stage no matter where you were so that was a plus also. I loved it!! They are and will always be THE BEST!! WE LOVE YOU INCUBUS!! my bff and i had a blast!! i had to get a t-shirt even though they were $40!! i could've gotten it online for 17.95!! but i had to get one at the concert...you know how that goes!! lol...hope everyone had as much of a good time as i did!!!! They are AWESOME live...i will def be seeing them again!! I LOVE YOU INCUBUS!!

"Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that f***ed up and cold..."

Overall I thought it was a pretty good show. The set list wasn't too bad either.
The only thing to complain about really was that the duke spirit was extremely late and the crowd was nuts which isn't a bad thing but I pretty much got crushed to death and had to be lifted out of the crowd after on the verge of passing out....whoops.
The people in the crowd around where I was (which was up front) were mad chill and made the concert more fun. (except for a select few people who were rather blowsy..)
Overall I had an amazing time and hope to see them again!

By the way, does anyone have any pictures from last night?

(Thanks to the row of like 5 guys who made a barrier behind us the whole time and pretty much helped save me and the other two people I was with!!!)

let me start off by saying, i am 15 years old and this was my first incubus concert, although they have been my favorite band for years. also, this was my first time attending they festival pier venue.
ill give some pros and cons

i guess ill start with the bad news
there were definitely holes in the setlist. more should have been played. i must have heard 10 people scream for green and we didnt even get to here it. such a shame. more science should have been included and i would have loved to have heard things like make your self, when it comes, out from under, punk drunk, new skin, pantomime, pistola..i could go on. ahaha but basically, this was a completely greatest hits show and it even missed a few important ones.
now for the venue...well, i came 3 hours early so that i could get a good spot( which we did, but its not worth starting off at the front when your going to be pushed back anyways) . then had to wait an extra hour just to have the duke spirit on. while waiting, the crowd was completely obnoxious and it was an extremely unenjoyable experience. i was with two of my other 15 year old friends who have not seen incubus live and we were all being pushed around by older people. it was not fun
oh. and they should not have ended with lets go crazy. even though it was really good haha. and also the t shirts are ridiculously over priced.

this is getting long but i think i should mention the duke spirit. i mean they were really good. the girl seemed talented and had a good voice, but obviously, we were all there for incubus and it was a bit frustrating waiting for them to come on. anyways i think ill like go download a few of their songs. it wasnt bad.

sorry about the numerous posts, they put a limit on length

Going tonight! leaving in about an hour to tailgate!! see you all there!

Turns out 2 people bailed on me for the show on saturday so i have 2 extra tickets if anyone is interested. I know the show is sold out but if anyone is in need of 2 tickets, email me at jsadowski@studioseventy8.com and we can arrange somewhere to meet up or i can leave them at will call.

I have been a huge incubus fan since the first time i heard them and this will be the first concert i've been able to attend. Even better is the fact that August 8th is my 21st birthday and about 10 of my buddies are going with me. We'll be there early with plenty of booze and if you see a really drunk kid screaming jibberish while being chased by his girlfriend then it's probably me. I'm absolutely stoked to finally get a chance to see them live as their reputation preceeds them i just hope i remember it.

So who's going to this? I got VIP tickets so I'll be up in Philly early in the day.

I love Incubus and can't wait to see them again in Philly. However, looking from other shows it seems they are not playing any of the B-sides in concert. It'd be wild to hear "Look Alive" "while the vultures feed" and such songs. That's is one of my only criticisms for the band.. they keep the same setlist for all their shows (or at least very very very similar). It'd be nice to see them feed of the energy and change up their shows like some other awesome bands do (Pearl Jam).

Just a thought but I still love these f***ers and can't wait for the show!!

does anyone know if the vip auction for philly already happen and end?

I saw Incubus at this venue in 2007. This was my 8th Incubus show and BY FAR the worst concert experience ever. I always have to be up front for them so my husband and I waited in line early to get a good standing spot. Well it was the hottest day of the century so people were passing out around me from heat exaustion. Then it got really bad because a lot of drunk idiots who weren't even hard core Incubus fans started knocking into everyone and pulling people to the ground. I have never experienced such a horrible crowd. I actually had to leave because I got hurt from someone banging into me. I still can't believe it was that bad that I walked out on an Incubus show! And they sounded great so it killed me to leave. We were going to be seeing them again in a few days in Holmdel NJ so that was consolation but I will not go back to this venue again for Incubus. If you go, just stay back.

The date listed above was wrong... Thanks for fixin' it! The concert in Philly is Saturday 8/8/09 exactly two years later same date...strange huh? I had the extreme pleasure to see them at Festival Pier in 07 and it was fabulous! To those of you questioning the hanging out elements....come on it is PHILADELPHIA of course there will be parking lot parties. Me and my girls are planning on heading out as soon as we get up! The Pier is general admission, there are no seats or grass. First come, first to the stage! Unless of course you bid on the VIP packages and win! The last show did have tents with chairs set up where some of the bars and bathrooms were but they were to the side and had tvs inside to see and hear the concert. They also had the water misting tents because it was smokin' hot! As far as the actual stage set up there were NO SEATS nor GRASS but does it really matter? Who wants to sit at an Incubus show anyway???? See you all there!!!

My tickets also have a seat and row number and stuff. But i thought that it was all just standing on grass? And it say on live nation that tickets will be available the day of the show. So can bring some buddies in hopes that they can get in too? And my last question for anyone who has seen incubus at festival pier before, Do people go and hang out hours before the show? Because I'm driving down extremely early in the morning to start my day in Philly. See you all there.

Last time I saw you guys at Festival Pier in '07 it was amazing! I've been waiting for you guys to come out to Philly again, so I'm stoked. That was one of the best concerts I've been to, and your cover of "Stand By Me" is one of my favorite covers of that song.

I have seen Incubus at least 3 times now and I've been waiting for them to come back around! Just bought 4 presale tix!! Incubus is definitely my favorite band...

The Incubus Concert in 2007 was one of the best I have seen. Of course it got annoying trying to watch the concert, and have the crowd pushing from all sides. Then by the end of the night, it was a challenge not tripping over all empty water and beer bottles on the ground. Still it was a great experience, and it also introduced me to the group "The Bravery", who was one of the opening acts.

I've never seen a show at Festival Pier yet. What's it like? Is there anywhere to sit down at all?

I saw Incubus at Festival Peir the last time they were there it was a totally awesome concert just like always but it was easily the hottest concert i have ever been to there was people passing out and other people selling water bottles for 20$ it was insane but would i do it again for incubus? HELL YEAH!
