Praise for Cage the Elephant’s Live Performances:
“With Skrillex on guitar and Cage the Elephant’s Matt Shultz on vocals? You’d have to see it live at Bonnaroo, or not see it at all.” – The Hollywood Reporter (Top 10 Best Performances) (Bonnaroo)
“Matt Shultz owned the stage like the love child of Mick Jagger and Iggy Pop, dancing spastically and shirtless while the band tore though an exuberantly punky and danceable set — “Spiderhead,” “Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” and “Cigarette Daydreams” included — that had the crowd giddily jerking back and forth to the beat.” – Billboard (Top 10 Best Performances) (Firefly)
“5 cool things that happened at Bonnaroo on Saturday” – USA Today(Bonnaroo)
“Shultz came out swinging, playing around with the crowd and watching those who dared to step into the mud get a little dirty…a great musical performance” – Chicago Sun-Times (Lollapalooza)
