How Long Is Lcd Soundsystem Concert?

LCD Soundsystem is an American electronic dance-punk band active in New York City. They are famous for their powerful performances and dance-pop synthesized melodies. Another thing that you may wonder if you are planning to attend an LCD Soundsystem concert is the duration of the concert.

The answer is pretty long! LCD sound systems are not the type of band that would perform a short show of 60–90 minutes. Their concerts are less like performances and more like epic dance parties, which usually last for more than two hours, at times getting very close to three hours. In fact, they have so much musical territory to explore in their discography, which spans over 15 years.

Lead singer James Murphy is an energetic stage performer who is also famous for his aggressive style of long dance remixes and solos during their performances. The band is also famous for its perfectly coherent and diverse setlists, where songs are played in the most diverse ways, both from the latest and older albums. This means there have never been two similar LCD soundsystem performances. The entire concert experience is meant to be a journey with various turns in between, which needs time.

Typically, LCD Soundsystem’s headline shows do not exceed 2.5 hours but hover around the 2 hour mark. During such events as Coachella, Lollalapalooza, and other major music festivals, their performances usually last slightly less than those of other headliners because of time constraints and are usually roughly 1.5 to 2 hours long. However, these “shorter” festival sets still appear to be quite long in comparison with many of the performing bands.

In the 2016 reunion tour after having disbanded for 5 years, LCD Soundsystem performed some of their most extended sets. They played for 3 hours and 18 minutes during their opening night at Brooklyn Steel! They performed 37 songs that included songs from all their albums. And several of the setlists from that reunion tour included over 30 songs and 2.5 hours in each concert.

Some fans enjoy the elaborate and exhausting concert length of LCD Soundsystem’s performances. This contributes to the thrilling and memorable experience that goes well into the night. Still, those who are not huge fans or those who do not frequently follow shows could easily be overwhelmed by the lengthy time span of such episodes. If you are a person who goes to bed early or does not have a lot of strength, then their shows will not suit you.

However, it seems that LCD Soundsystem gives their all during live performances, and long durations are an indication of the effort they are willing to invest in a concert. The hypnotic, transportative nature of their live performances necessitates a lengthy set and the ability to wander through musical detours. In many ways, one gets value for their money, especially in terms of the energy, longevity, and enthusiasm that these artists exhibit during their shows.

So if you are planning to purchase tickets for the next LCD Soundsystem concert, get ready to twirl and boogie until collapse because they maintain the digital party for hours on end! Shoes should be comfortable, and one should take a number of breaks to take water. Remember to include some good night’s sleep for the next day; for sure, you will be rather tired after the experience of the LCD marathon.
