J.Cole was absolutely incredible.. i would recommend his gig to EVERYONE and without a shadow of doubt would go see him again. He was very prompt and had the BEST warm up acts.. in particular DJ dummy.. never seen a DJ warm up a crowd so well. The atmosphere was immense and J.Cole was off the hook!! Seeing him LIVE was by far the best experience ever!! come back to the UK soon J.cole!!!!... Also the fact that it was at the academy meant it was a very intimate gig..PERFECT to get up close to main man himself.

This is my 2nd time seeing him (after seeing him at the London wireless festival in 2010), and it's amazing to see how much he's grown in confidence! he makes so much eye contact and sometimes physical contact with the audience, making you feel very involved. he even mentions a few people in the crowd e.g. at the end of the show he said things like "the guy in the green hoodie, farewell!" he's just brilliant.

J cole delivered a slick performance with a great stage presence and sound quality. Just a bit disappointed on his choices of song to perform.

For example he started "lights please" and after about 2 lines of the chorus he went into another song. I could understand if he sacrificed the mixtape tracks in favour of the album songs but that wasnt the case. It could just be a case of personal taste but I didnt like the track listing.

Bought the tickets for my daughters 14th birthday which was the day of the concert. She had the best birthday night ever!!!! After seeing J Cole support Tinie Tempah (her number 1) she was keen to see him headline his own show.

Thankyou for making my daughters birthday so special

I loved the show it was amazing!
Koko is very small so it meant that you were close to the stage even if you were right at the back.
I've loved J cole since Friday Night Lights and every time i hear him i seem to love him and his music that much more!
I was very excited to be seeing him live as i'd never seen him before! When we go there it was already packed and being quite short I was upset we were near the back but as Cole came on stage i had a perfect view. The show lasted about an hour and a half long and he played songs from both his Cole World Album and his older mix tapes so you really got a taste of all the different songs hes done. After the show i was lucky enough to meet J Cole and get a picture with him!! it was truly amazing. He really does give the best hugs!!!!!
When he comes back to London i will DEFINITELY go and see him again as he was amazing. Amazing doesn't even describe the show he pulled off!

He was so personal with the audience, making eye contact with all areas of the crowd. He even touched the hands of fans and addressed people, making it even more special. His songs were well performed and the dj kept everyone buzzing at the beginning, was a great way to get excited for Mr Cole.
However, I wasn't so sure I was feeling the supporting act Dot Rotten - neither were the crowd, i must say. Perhaps Cole couldn't get anyone better under short notice?
Either way, I still think the concert was one of the best, similar to Trey Songz, actually.

Generally good, I was impressed by the DJ but I think J Cole has to go along way to reach stardom. Good singer but I wouldn't jump out my seat for him neither was I dancing to his beats much.

J.Cole is an epic epic performer. I wasn't expecting much at the start to be honest. I was a casual fan of his mixtapes and I have only listened to the radio released songs from his debut album. However......I was blown away, literally at his concert. He had so much energy, presence and swagger on stage. He interacted with the crowd really well and was really humble and sweet throughout. I really enjoyed listening to all his new material, I was a bit disappointed he didn't play my favourites from his mix-tapes, such as Lights Out. The highlight was defo his entrance to ColeWorld, the appearance of Miguel for All I Want Is You and also surprisingly Who Dat - I have never liked that song but it is fantastic live. I really can't say anything bad about his setlist. Oh and another thing; his official DJ, DJ Dummy is like out of this world! He's one of those old school DJs that definitely knows how to spin. He came on about 15 minutes before J.Cole did and got the crowd pumped up. I'm so happy I went to this gig - The last London date at KOKO. J.Cole is a legend in the making, he prolly be playing 02 Arena next time so the shows won't be as intimate.

J Cole was on top form and the atmosphere in the building was explosive. The only reason I am giving this gig a 3* is because of the venue and that alone. The view to the stage was terrible, constantly looking through gaps between people's heads and considering I'm 6 ft tall, I couldn't see much. I was at the Game's gig at the Forum Kentish town the previous evening and that was 5 out of 5 for both performance and venue. So please make sure J Cole is at a better venue next time, as I would love to see this guy again!
