Venue
I saw The Aces for the first time back in 2018 when they opened for another band. I finally got to see them in Berkeley on 10/27 and they put on a truly amazing show! Loved them then, love them even more now. Would be awesome to see them in the Bay Area again!
they started 3 hours late because they got into a car accident otw to the venue. but they put on a great show despite the circumstances, so i’m glad i stuck around. would definitely see them again.

I’ve now seen The Aces twice and can honestly say that no review can truly capture how amazing they are. This group has become such an important piece in my life, I will see them whenever I can.
I bought my ticket to see The Aces two days before the show, after getting an ad on instagram for their tour. I recognized the band name from one song I had a brief obsession with a few years ago (Fake Nice, off their debut album "When My Heart Felt Volcanic) , and thought I'd check them out. I had no idea how incredible and brilliant this band would turn out to be, and how absolutely hard they rock at their live shows. To say my expectations were exceeded would be an understatement. The stage presence, the chemistry between the band members, the genuine smiles on each of their faces, and the MUSIC- while their recorded material is exceptionally well produced, witnessing them perform live is a whole other experience. The energy of love, acceptance, and queer joy that they cultivated at the Summit theater was nothing short of beautiful. That energy is something that can only be created by genuine love for music, artistry, and each other. Having never seen The Aces perform, live or recorded, my initial impression watching them last week was that they operate like one living thing on stage. Cristal (lead singer) mentioned while giving a short speech to the audience about her experiences while writing their newest album, "I've Loved You For So Long", she mentioned that she has been in the band with her sister and their best friend since they were ten years old, and that they are the reason that she was able to get out of bed in the morning while she was experiencing some of the worst mental health struggles of her life. That deep, solid connection and mutual love for one another truly shines through in their performances as a band. I feel very lucky to have been able to see them perform at the Summit, because I'm positive that they will blow up and be playing Red Rocks by 2026. And you better believe I'll be first in line to buy tickets to see them when they do.
House of Blues is. Pretty much my favorite venue for acoustics in Chicago. (Compare that to Live Nations other owned venue Aragon Ball room where the sound is absolute trash.) The show was absolutely amazing. The Aces couldn't disappoint if they tried. I'm a permanent fan after this performance.
The vibes were immaculate, everybody was having a good time, the aces are so talented it sounded like I was listening to the studio version the whole time, and the opener Carol Ades was so good too! Just an over all fun, great, and gay night :)
I wanted to go to a concert with my friend who has never gone to one before and thought The Aces would be perfect, since the crowd wouldn't be rough like my normal taste. I didn't know what to expect, not knowing a ton of their songs, but HOLY !! They put on SUCH an amazing show and I loved all of their energy. I'm so glad that young people have them as representation, and I can't wait till they come back to philly to see them again!
The Aces are a fun band to see live. The Underground is a great venue.
My wife and I were both blown away by The Aces live! Incredible. . The lead singer prowled the stage like a panther, owning it with the energy f a young Jagger. This band deserves even greater success. Awesome show in a great venue.
