EDEN brought his Dark tour to The Bellwether in Los Angeles on November 4th, where a sold out packed crowd greeted him with barely contained excitement.

EDEN is a man of few words, and wasn’t talkative to his house of sweaty sardine-canned fans, but over a 23-song set the young Irishman played songs like “Ghost in the Shell,” “sex,” and “5ever,” then closed out the night with “Trophy Hunting.” A screen lined the back of the stage, and during the show lyrics to his songs were projected on it so the crowd could sing along, but I’m guessing the majority knew every turn of phrase without the help. A keyboard was placed center stage which he used a few times, but mostly he sang and moved around, focusing on the singing task at hand.

Opener Greek warmed up the crowd with a charismatic set, playing songs like “HELPLESS,” “CALL ME,” and “safety,” which definitely got him a lot of new fans.

The US portion of Dark Tour continues through November 20th and wraps that night in Boston, but then he’s off to Belgium to start the EU leg. For all the latest tour news and ticket info, check out iameden.eu.
