Noisia are good, but I just don't get Major Lazer. What genre is he? I've seen him once before and he was a total let down. His best songs were basically ripped off from other singers/djs, Martin Solveig, New Order, there were more. He even played a song that the Welsh sing at their football games altho I've forgotten the name of it now. For most of the show he just stood and shouted at the crowd and introduced his dancers/strippers but didn't really sing or rap or do anything. Am I missing Something?

Agreed, I actually like Major Lazer on record ....but "live" its just has this weird kids party feel to it, with loads of weird gimmicks that just distract you from the music.

Yeah, I'm all over Noisia as well, but will probably leave Major Lazer to the kids unless there's nothing else on.

Noisia owe me a live show, because they cancelled and did a DJ set instead at Outlook last year with no explanation. This time though...this time.

I saw Major Lazer last year at Bestival. It does go off quite a bit. It's classic EDM/dance live shows - A lot of lights, flags, effects and (obviously) lasers. They also had tons of dancers on stage at all times and it had quite the carnival feel to it.

It wasn't as bad as I was expecting to be fair but there is definitely an element of smoke and mirrors to distract you from some average songs. Most of my mates were off their face so were obviously loving it. But like a mate who was trying MD for the first time once said to me whilst watching of all acts The Streets - "This is fucking brilliant... But then again I think a man with a dustbin would be having the same effect".

I can confirm The Street were fucking brilliant that night whether you were taking MD or not.

 

So in conclusion. Get off your face and you can't really go wrong at Major Lazer.
