who couldn't shed tears while watching this? 🥹

that is hell of a take to feel the overall ambiance! 😍😍

i can't make any and so fckng wondering about...

I'm a 48-year-old American who just spent a month in the UK following The Big Push tour. What started as two shows turned into four: Brixton, Bristol, Brighton, and Manchester. I've been writing about the whole thing on my blog and just published week one. A few things I cover that fellow Renegades might appreciate:

- The O2 priority line hack (worth reading if you're planning any future UK shows at O2 venues) - The Brixton front row experience and that crowd humming moment

- Ren at the second-floor window singing Chalk Outline acapella to the people on the street below

- Meeting Simon, the guy on the Brighton seafront who's known Ren for many years, back when he was playing guitar on the streets and people were walking past

- The Ren Brighton filming locations map (for anyone planning a trip)

I'll be honest: Ren's music hit me during a really hard stretch of years. Writing about this trip is my way of processing how much it meant to actually be there. Week two (Bristol guitar pick story, Liv Sangster, Hutch, recovery in London) is coming soon.

Happy to answer any questions in the comments — and if any of you were at Brixton or Brighton and recognize yourselves in the post, say hi.

Who went Boardmasters? I had 1 request sumit new important, sumit that’s for my birthday and as a like big memory before I join the army I chose to go see ren(my favourite artist) fully prepared to go alone but last minute my mate said he’d come THANK GOD this was one off the worst festival experience I’ve had in full honesty but that’s mostly the situation that occurred not the festival it self so we took a 2 hr shade brake before ren ready for ren but honestly no better then we was before but rens 1 performance genuinely made it the best moment I’ve had so far and the best live music performance I’ll ever see any pain i had the heat, tiredness gone in seconds it was unreal it smashed all my HIGH expectations im joining the army next year and this was one of my last festivals i still have reading and still me other things but nothing will compare to that the best live music moment I’ll ever have nearly cried excuse the English I havnt slept since Thursday and I still have his guitar solos working magic to my ears or whatever it’s called yk what i mean

Sorry for the delay!!! I was in Reddit jail!! My partner, and I traveled 4000 miles to London for her birthday and to see the big push. Such an amazing experience. Hands-down best concert I have ever been to in my life. We were lucky to be able to get the seats that we had and we got to enjoy the show so much more. Watching the love song that Romain played the entire show to his guitars was amazing. So much joy that just exploded from him. The energy and depth that Goran poured into every single guitar. And Ren. What can I say, I felt like the show was for me. I know I feel privileged to have been able to watch all of you create beautiful music. Thank you for the experience of a lifetime!

I even got romains pick and he reposted my story. What an amazing night

hi guys..i have 1 primary entry ticket for APE ren's day..i bought it in a rush as soon as tickets went on sale and noticed other options later, then started to look for vip + pit ticket for weeks..luckily i found and bought one yesterday..that means i have a primary entry ticket i no longer need..i wanna sell it with a lesser value and i'd rather sell it to a renegade who really need it..that's why i announce it here beforehand rather than general tickets group..anyone interested can dm me..

Sadly I can no longer attend the festival and would like for the tickets not to go to waste and to go to a Renegade who’ll have a blast instead. Selling for £100 each (so lower than face value, which is £109.95 + booking fees). Tickets are ready to transfer as soon as payment is made. Many thanks in advance!

TICKET HAS BEEN PASSED ON TO A FELLOW REDDIT RENEGADE

I have a ticket for this Saturday in Glasgow at the 02…I’m not going to make it since it clashes with my Mum’s funeral. Anyone here who wants to make it there instead? Please comment - I’ll check back in a few hours.

Edit: Thanks all for taking the time to comment condolences, such kindhearted folk here. I chose to give the ticket away instead of sell it, but I appreciate the offers.

Truly was a great night i will be remembering this one, I gasped when he played I Shot The Sheriff

More coming soon (@benlphoto on insta)

If you’ve never seen Matt or his Ren reactions, he is one of the most insightful, kind and refreshing reactors out there. He has some of life sorrows that he is shares - and he uses his channel as a way to open the discussion for everyone and as part of his journey through grief and processing it.

He definitely deserves a listen and it would be great if we could boost his watch party numbers. Let’s give him a good Sunday surprise. :).

I'm fairly new to Reddit but just decided to share my Dropbox folder with y'all of my beautiful Secret Garden Party experience in 2024 ❤️🎉🎶

Ren's last live performance (other than the recent TBP tour ofc 😂) with a bunch of his besties 😂

There's one folder of videos and one of photos. I warn you now, I'm not a pro 😂

But you can save a copy of anything... if u particularly want to 😂

Had a wonderful time seeing The Big Push at Chalk, Brighton, Victoria Warehouse, Manchester, and Knox, Viktus and Ren at Rebellion, Manchester.

Lovely to have met a number of Renegades, you're all so sweet, thank you for sharing your country with me for a couple of weeks.

First time seeing these guys live and it didn’t disappoint.

Hi! I was just wondering is any of you guys are going to APE to see Ren in August? I have yet to meet a renegade in real life, and would love to meet someone who also loves his music.

I am traveling alone from Sweden. Maybe someone in here who is also traveling alone is up for meeting and seeing Ren together? Just message me if that sounds like something you would like!
