Cam Captivates London With A Night Of Raw Vocals And Real Stories At The Tabernacle

In a sweltering Tabernacle, a somehow both vast and intimate venue, a sweat-soaked audience filled every seat for Cam’s performance. From the moment she walked on stage, it was clear her music meant something deeper to those in the room. Each song struck an emotional chord, and you could feel the connection. What made it even more powerful was how Cam took time between tracks to talk to the crowd, offering raw, honest backstories behind each song. Honestly, I think the audience could’ve happily sat and just listened to her speak all night.

She shared a handful of songs from her upcoming album, All Things Light being released via RCA Records, due later this month, and even though there were a few technical hiccups early on, Cam laughed them off without hesitation. The crowd was locked in, and Cam’s voice, stripped back and unfiltered, absolutely owned the space. Her vocals were powerful, emotional, and completely captivating, even without the usual big production. It was just her, the music, and the stories she poured into it.
There was a real openness in her dialogue with the audience that made certain songs connect even harder. Alchemy took on more vulnerability and rawness after hearing her speak about its meaning. And I Am God revealed new depth as she opened about her questions around faith and mortality.

Highlights? Her take on American Requiem, one of the many songs she co-wrote for Beyoncé’s massive Carter Country album. With shout outs from the crowd that Cam’s version was better, and honestly? They weren’t wrong. And of course, Diane and Burning House, two fan favourites. Diane, an alternative take on the Jolene situation, told from the point of a woman whom a man cheats with, a catchy classic and by the time Burning House came around, the whole room was on their feet, singing in harmony. One of those spine-tingling moments the crowd will never forget.

And just when you thought the night had wrapped, Cam came back, not for another song, but for a Q&A. From future collaborations (we’re all sworn to secrecy on who she’s working with next) to how recording this album compared to her Nashville days, she answered it all. Casual, candid, totally engaged.

So, while London and The Tabernacle baked in the heat, and the crowd shimmered with sweat, Cam delivered a performance that was both grand and deeply personal. Intimate and epic, all at once.

Thirty years into a career built on challenging convention, Garbage arrive at London’s Roundhouse looking anything but content to trade on nostalgia. Despite three decades of touring the capital, tonight marks the band’s first appearance at the iconic Camden venue, and from the moment Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, Butch Vig and touring bassist Nicole Fiorentino step onto the stage, they perform with the urgency of a band still determined to push forwards rather than look back.

There are gigs that simply entertain, and then there are gigs that transport you. Lifehouse’s long-overdue return to London at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire is very much the latter. Eleven years since their last visit to the capital, Jason Wade and longtime guitarist Steve Stout strip everything back for the second of two London acoustic shows—following the previous evening’s performance at nearby Bush Hall—and in doing so remind a packed Shepherd’s Bush Empire exactly why these songs have endured for a quarter of a century.
