After seeing hundreds of photos and videos of the breathtaking Candlelight concerts, you’ve finally decided to buy tickets. — And if you’re still in doubt, our 7 reasons why you should go are sure to get you out of them– So, now what? You already know you’re in for one of the most beautiful musical experiences ever, but how do you prepare for it? Well, don’t stress. Let us make it easy for you; here are 7 things you should know before attending a Candlelight concert. We know you won’t be disappointed!
1. Every venue is unique
Rumour has it that some prefer their concerts in breathtaking churches, others in more intimate concert halls, but no matter where you choose to attend a Candlelight concert, one thing remains consistent: their venues are all unique. None of their venues are chosen at random, as they all carry a piece of history within. So, whether they are architectural gems, city landmarks, or treasures full of history, you know that when you go to a Candlelight concert, you’re stepping into a space where time stops to tell you an untold story of your city.
2. Dress to impress (yourself )
Candlelight isn’t an event like any other. When you go to one of their concerts, you’ll meet all kinds of people who share one thing in common, the love for music. That’s why you should always dress to impress (yourself). It doesn’t matter if you want to dress elegant like in Mozart’s time or smart casual, as long as you feel comfortable and happy. Make your evening truly special from start to finish!
3. Endless LED Candles
Yes! All their candles are LED candles —Did you really expect to be surrounded by thousands of real candles? That sounds horrible! — Just imagine the heat, the smell of burning, and the thick soot you’d encounter if the candles were real. Not to mention the damage it would do to the environment. So, for your safety, the ones around you, and the venues, let’s leave the candles for bubble baths and spas.
4. Talented musicians will engage with your throughout the concert
Besides their great tributes, endless candles and spectacular venues, what makes Candlelight special is the treatment you get when you attend one of their concerts. Not only are you get treated like a VIP, but you feel like it. The experience is all around you thanks to their talented musicians, who engage with you throughout the concert.
Sometimes they tell a joke or two about your favourite artists to cheer you up, funny anecdotes about your favourite songs, and if your crowd is feeling it —always with respect, of course— they urge you to sing from your heart those songs that have been with you through thick and thin. That’s why Candlelight falls short of being just a concert.

Although all the seats have a great view of the stage, there is no doubt that the front seats have a magical component that makes us feel like VIPs. So why not give yourself the treat you deserve?

6. The later the show the better
The relaxed atmosphere provided by candlelight is unmatchable, and the darker it is, the better they look. This is why we always recommend attending concerts as late as possible, especially in summer because the days are longer. And while it’s true that you can always appreciate the beautiful candlelight at a Candlelight concert, there is nothing better than ending your day surrounded by thousands of candles listening to the songs of your favourite artist.
7. You’ll experience real live music
Nowadays, we are used to concerts having some kind of pre-production and artists using sample tracks in the background when they sing, taking us away from a truly live experience. At Candlelight, live music is heard raw, with no pre-production or samples at hand. Here you can experience the highs and lows of each chord, feel the vibration of the strings, and enjoy music in its purest form.
8. Make your memories last with an instant picture
There is nothing more enchanting than holding a piece of memory in your hands. That’s why Candlelight offers you —in select concerts!— the chance to capture the enchanting glow of candlelight with a snapshot of you and your loved ones. Just add “Snapshot by Candlelight” to your cart when you go to buy your tickets and cherish this memory forever!
