MIKA GIGS - concert photos and reviews

La Poste Mobile private concert @ La Cigale in Paris 8/10/2019

Back home from my five day trip to Paris and it was lovely to see Mika performing at two small venues, Le Trianon and La Cigale. The both gigs were private promotional events yet the latter one at La Cigale a proper, almost full length show. The venue was ...

RTL2 pop-rock live @ Le Trianon in Paris 4/10/2019

Just a few quick words about the RTL2 pop-rock live show at Le Trianon in Paris on Friday. I booked my trip to Paris very last minute just day before the gig and it was worth it, it had a huge meaning to me to see Mika on stage on the album releasing day. ...

My Name Is Michael Holbrook

With Mika it’s impossible to keep the music and the artist separated. Writing about his new album is like telling opinions about his life. His personality comes through his music and that’s why I love it. It’s not only the things said in the lyrics. It’s ...

Mika @ Placa Condesa, Mexico City

I’m writing this gig report on my way home from Mexico after seeing the full NA tour and so pleased that I decided to include Mexico City in my travel plan. The last days of my trip didn’t go as I had thought in advance but seeing the last concert of the ...

Mika @ Theatre at Ace Hotel in Los Angeles

The Ace Hotel Theatre in downtown Los Angeles was fancy and quite unique as a venue. It was beautiful yet still probably my least favourite venue during the tour. First of all, there was no proper lighting so the stage seemed to be in the dark. Also, the ...

Mika @ The Fillmore, San Francisco 18/9/2019

Mika warned in advance the venue in San Francisco wouldn’t be a fancy place and it wasn’t indeed, The Fillmore is one of those shabby, cool historical music venues I’ve always wanted to see, full of energy from the past, legendary performances. The doors ...

Mika @ Corona Theatre in Montreal 15&16/9/2019

Two lovely gigs in Montreal. The venue was called Corona Theatre and it was small and more intimate than the venue in Brooklyn, the capacity was hardly 1000 people, probably even less. The first night I had a seat in the first balcony row and saw a view ...

Mika @ Brooklyn Steel 13/9/2019

Compared to the first show of the tour on Thursday the second Brooklyn night on Friday the 13th was different yet still equally amazing. This tour – small, cozy venues and the whole, somehow pure concept – is a dream come true and it’s hard to ...

Mika @ Brooklyn Steel 12/9/2019

A few thoughts about the first Tiny Love Tiny Tour gig in NYC at Brooklyn Steel freshly after the show. Shortly, everything went as well as possibly could. If you ask me we could have seen Mika’s stunning figure better without the scarf he was wearing at ...

Songs: Tiny Love

The structure in Tiny Love is interesting, intelligent and very versatile and it takes me, again and again, to a delightful journey with its changing melody and varying tones. I can hear all the familiar elements so typical to Mika’s music, just ...
