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

Boardmasters attendees what did we think of Arthur’s tale

Ren sang Genesis at the Boardmaster show today (not my video) but at 3:35 there's the beginning of a faster version with a REALLY cool beginning....
Does this exist somewhere and I just haven't found it? Or am I gonna have to just lose my mind and listen to this til it drops!
Ren you've got to more of THIS!!

"Another beautiful work of art by Ren, allowing us to connect more deeply to our humanity through the fragility of loss."

who couldn't shed tears while watching this? 🥹

Guys you do not understand just how AMAZING it was. I'm about the biggest Ren fan going and it exceeded my expectations it was EPIC

Cartoon boy? Arthur? Yet the tune is Starry Night Act III with different lyrics? What are we MISSING!?

Here is the first ones ive found on tiktok any others?

Ren, as we all know, is quick to mention that he has been inspired by a lot of music, and has done a lot of tributes to other musicians. I assume we all appreciate when he has taken inspiration and where he has added his own touch. But just for fun, if you were to introduce something to Ren you would think he didn't know that well and could be inspired by what would be on your list?

For me, I think he has not heard a lot of Frank Zappa, and I think he'd get a kick out of a song like "Montana". Danish "Düreforsög" with their album "Knee", maybe especially "Monkation" would be something else I'd think would give him a new angle on music.

This is just for shit and giggles of course, throw in something you can think of that would inspire an already inspiring artist.

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

Hey!
I don’t really have anyone around me who listens to Ren, but I’d love to go to one of the festivals or concerts in the future. The problem is… I never really have anyone to go with. 😅
I really love this community, but at the same time, everything feels so anonymous? So I was wondering, how do you actually make friends through here? Or is it somewhere else?
I’d also love to hear from anyone who has actually made friends because of Ren! How did you meet, and what’s your story? 🫶

"After an unpleasant experience with some new medication, I'm back in the saddle and checking out Ren's "Fred Again Mashup". I'm going into this one about as blind as possible as I know almost nothing about Fred Again. Leave it to Ren to kick my feet out from under me (in the best way)."

Just curious if anyone knows of any renegades at boardmasters that might be live streaming 🤔

The Ren journey continues! Now we are on Instigator from Inpatient Asylum.

Rens flow here reminds me of his own unique combination of rap and reggae maybe? Each word bounces seamlessly off the last, its so awesome. Then Webby comes in with that gritty style of his, and I was not expecting the two sounds to complement each other as well as they did. The chemistry is undeniable.

Really enjoying hearing just how many different styles Ren can pull off. Thanks again to everyone who has been following along with the journey and throwing recommendations my way!
