Above & Beyond at The Forum: Preview

READ MORE: G-Eazy At The Wiltern
The trance legends just recently released their fifth album, "We Are All We Need," charting at No.1 on Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart, which marks a personal best for the group. Already having released four songs, including the hugely popular "Sticky Fingers," the album has been been a major hit and multiple stops on the tour have already sold out.
Above & Beyond has one of the most dedicated followings in electronic music and also has production elements that attempt to connect with their fans. One such element is typing out messages to the crowd throughout the performance that constantly reminds the audience about living in the moment and loving one another. Another tradition for the group is to pick a lucky fan, or pair of fans, to come onto the stage to “press the button” for one of the tracks during the set. Signs and handmade articles of clothing are seen throughout the venue, among the dozens of fans that are visibly emotional, that are asking to have this opportunity and is regarded as one of the highlights of the night.
Until someone attends a live performance of Above & Beyond’s, there are no words for the magic that is experienced. The only way to find out is if you get out there for yourself. If you are not catching them this week, make sure to keep track of where they are touring here so you can experience a once in a lifetime performance.
