I probably won't attend a Banks concert again
Main Post:
Let me start off by saying I've been a fan of Banks since Goddess and my most recent concert in Vancouver BC was the 2nd time I've seen her live. The other time was at The Vogue Theater in Van in 2017 I believe for The Altar Tour. I think she slaaaaaaaaps as a recording artist... but...
Both times I've seen her I've left feeling deep disappointment regarding the quality of show. I thought her lip syncing would get better over the last few years but it did not. She didn't have a drummer and only half of her back up dancers. The light show was too big for the size of the venue resulting in a light blasting me and my partner in the face.
Then Vancouver got NO posts on social media for the tour. The one picture she posted didn't even tag the venue (I'd be pissed as the venue tbh). It's like the concert didn't happen.
I don't feel appreciated as a fan in Canada and I think I'll just still to supporting her through Spotify from now on.
Top Comment: thanks for sharing this. Don’t know what to tell you exactly though but... is she lip syncing for real? that’s quite abnormal for banks. and i do agree that her social media is being handled poorly since serpentina dropped, it’s like something’s off with it. but i guess that the lack of instagram posts about the shows is the least of your problems. she should’ve already found a replacement for derek... and the laser show omg what a mess Sorry about your experience

Top Comment: Anyone have a recap? I missed it since it was during the work day 👀
Banks live?
Main Post:
Have any of y’all seen BANKS live? I love her music and I love the opener (Kevin Garrett) for this tour but I’ve also heard she’s not rly great live. Would love to hear any experiences!
Top Comment: OMFG YASSSSS. Saw her at Jimmy Kimmel when she was starting out. Then on her Goddess tour. Also the two years of Coachella she performed at. She’s definitely one of those artists that are better seen live than listening to their studio album. When I saw her at Coachella two years ago, it was an experience. Her backup dancers and live instruments really heighten her performance. Banks herself has gotten so much better at choreography. I’m scared/excited for what she has in store for us on this upcoming tour.
GOT MY 2 MEET AND GREETS FOR BANKS TOUR!!

Every Band Has One - Banks Edition (Day 4) - Most Iconic Live Performance
Main Post:
The votes are in! Her unequivocal best track is “Contaminated”.
“Drowning” took second place and “Better” fell into third.
Let’s dive into her live performances. Which was the most iconic?
Top Comment: Her Billboard performance of Better literally makes me shiver. Absolutely astounding.
Has she ever played Under the Table live?
Main Post:
Hi there! Was really excited with the Goddess Anniversary tour about the possibility of hearimg Under the Table live, it's one of my favourite songs of all time and I have cried to multiple times ha and it means a lot to me. I was disappointed to see it wasn't on the recent shows she did setlist and looking at setlists years ago I haven't seen it. Now I'm just curious if she's ever played it live and if not do people know why? Just cuz it's too enotional or she already sings someone new etc? Thanks!
Top Comment: She played it during the Goddess Tour. I saw her four times that year and I will never forget it was less than a month after the album came out she played in Boston and the crowd knew all the words to it and sang along and she started crying and it was such a beautiful moment I regret not having video of it but I’m not sure if it’s on YouTube or anything
Now that US tour is over, what are your thoughts?
Main Post:
This was my first time seeing her and I very much enjoyed it, her stamina on stage is insane IMO. I think my only gripe was the lack of non singles from Serpintina besides misunderstood, probably because I busted my ass to see this tour thinking I would never hear burn, birds by the sea, anything for you (how is this not a single?), unleaveable, or spirit. Which I heard none and that's probably my favorite part of the album 😓 Brain and Someone New kinda redeemed that though.
Thoughts??
Top Comment: desperately wish we had more of III in the set list, but really loved the show still. she has amazing stage presence and i’d been dying to see her for years.
