What a difference the right commercial makes. Just three years ago, Ithaca, New York’s X Ambassadors were playing the relatively tiny confines of Divan Orange to a few dozen patrons. After the release of their debut full-length, VHS, earlier this year, and riding on the massive success of their “Renegades” single (and its subsequent Jeep commercial), the band performed to a sold-out crowd of 2,500 fans at the cavernous Olympia Theatre last night.

The show marked the band’s biggest headlining gig ever – a great way to close out their current tour, and solid preparation for their upcoming arena tour supporting Muse, which includes a pair of shows at Centre Bell on January 20 and 21, 2016.

Below you can check out photos from the show, including openers Grizfolk, courtesy of Vitor Munhoz. For all upcoming tour dates visit xambassadors.com.
