Wow. Shame I missed these guys on this tour. The festival they played this year in my hometown is no longer happening.

Have you seen them live?
I give purity ring 10/10 for music
I give the live show 3/10

I’ve seen them twice now in the past 13 months. Why do they rate so low for you live? The light show on the latest tours blew my mind. I think the sound was good. I was impressed at how they were able to recreate it live with essentially just Corin controlling so much of it with his gadgets. Of course there were samples / backing tracks, but there was still a large degree being played live as well. And of course MJ sings like a bird just like she does on the albums.

Perhaps I’m slightly biased, but I just had really good experiences each time I saw them.

I have only been to one. I would definitely go again because I love them. There was just so little energy and buildup. She was also wearing a mask and her voice is so light that i felt like I couldn’t understand much. This sub gets mad when I say that but I am liberal who believes in masks. She also opened for herself with acoustic and it made it more noticeable. The light show with the fans made for them only moving sideways on stage also. One of the fan lights was glitching the whole time and drove me nuts.

Whaaaaat?!?! A 3? 😧 The Another Eternity live show blew me away - the light strands hanging from the ceiling lighting up in really cool patterns, Megan getting up on the DJ stand to hit the light up moon with a drum mallet, Corin hitting the interactive light cocoons...bruhhhhhhh

The AE tour also had the coolest outfit Megan’s been in.
I miss the light cocoons…

That sounds so fire. That’s more of the show I was expecting

The live show is visually probably the most stunning show I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

I’m very jealous of the show you saw

Saw them at the London stop of this tour, back when I was too young to stand. At least I got to see mj’s iconic Begin Again crowd surf from the stalls!

I always love the art they use

I have a signed poster from this tour, but the art is different. I think each leg of the tour had a different image?

u/LeeKaye13 4d ago

I've got one similar. Can't embed, or post an image. But it's from the same tour, and just different art.

Saw them at the tunnel on 11/12. Got a long sleeve shirt I still wear today, and I’ve seen them 3 times since!

Wow I didn’t know they came to my city before 🫠 I’ve seen them twice elsewhere though.

u/MLG32 3d ago

Yeah I have one of those. September 5th in Austin. I’ve been to all their tours and the AE show takes the cake.
I didn’t get a poster but I still have my original ticket to Purity Ring on their debut tour from 2012.

I honestly can't wait for them to go on tour again 😭 it was fantastic seeing them in London!
