Lucia & The Best Boys Continue Their Rise With A Spellbinding O2 Shepherd’s Bush Performance
Fresh from an acclaimed appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival, Lucia & The Best Boys arrive at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire with momentum firmly on their side. Opening for the reunited 4 Non Blondes, the Glasgow quartet seize the opportunity with a commanding seven-song set that feels less like a support slot and more like a statement of intent.
4 Non Blondes Return On Their Own Terms At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire
More than three decades after their breakthrough, 4 Non Blondes arrive at London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire not to relive the past, but to redefine themselves in the present. Supported by the excellent Lucia & The Best Boys, the reunited San Francisco outfit make it abundantly clear that this tour is not a nostalgia exercise. Instead, it is a bold statement of who they are now — and whether the audience is willing to come with them.
Snow Patrol Complete The Hat-Trick At Eden Sessions In An Evening Of Heart, Humour And Hits
There are few concert settings in Britain as naturally dramatic as the Eden Sessions. Nestled within a former clay pit and framed by the iconic biomes of the Eden Project, the venue possesses a unique sense of occasion before a note is even played. On this June evening, the Cornish weather appears determined to play its part too. Persistent rain hangs over the site for much of the day, only to disappear almost on cue as Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly and Johnny McDaid walk on stage. It feels as though somebody has edited the weather into the evening’s script.
Lzzy & Joe Bring Halestorm’s Heart To London’s Islington Assembly Hall
Just days after tearing up Download Festival with the full Halestorm line-up, Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger strip everything back for a sold-out evening at Islington Assembly Hall.

Hannah Wicklund Shows London That A Woman Can Be Tough
A gold grand piano sits on a small stage at London’s Piano Smithfield, a cosy live music venue tucked around the corner from Barbican tube station. It’s the kind of listening room intimate enough to feel as if you’ve stumbled upon a secret gig, but atmospheric enough to host a special kind of artist.
Seb Lowe Brings Fire, Fury And Folk-Punk Spirit To Sofia Isella’s Roundhouse Crowd
Opening for Sofia Isella at London’s Roundhouse, Seb Lowe wastes no time making an impression. Walking onto the stage armed with only an acoustic guitar and accompanied by violinist and backing vocalist Kate Couriel, the Sheffield singer-songwriter delivers a powerful 30-minute set that feels far bigger than its stripped-back format suggests.
Sofia Isella Captivates London’s Roundhouse On Emotional Tour Finale
Sofia Isella arrives at the Roundhouse like a storm she can barely contain. Emerging from the shadows, backed by ominous electronic textures and silhouettes, she immediately cuts a striking figure. She paces furiously across the stage, hair hanging over her face, constantly tugging at her oversized clothes as though caught between wanting to tear them off and feeling trapped inside them. Her fingers are haphazardly bound with elastic bands, while her face and arms are purposely dirtied. It’s uncomfortable, theatrical and utterly compelling.
The Pretty Reckless Bring Camden To Boiling Point At Intimate Underworld Show

The first of two sold out nights at the Royal Albert Hall reaffirm the bands importance, influence and necessity to keep going.
Bowie Nights: Behind The Lens Reveals The Stories Behind The Images
For an artist who spent his career constantly reinventing himself, David Bowie remains one of the most instantly recognisable figures in popular culture. His image has become inseparable from his music; from Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane to the Thin White Duke and beyond, Bowie understood the power of photography as instinctively as he understood performance.
Luvcat Turns Murder Ballads Into Midnight Confessions At London ‘Lovebites’ EP Launch
Inside the eccentricity of the Colony Room Green, London feels briefly suspended in time. Perched atop a piano rather than commanding centre stage in any conventional sense, Luvcat — Liverpool-born songwriter Sophie Howarth — transforms the intimate West End venue...
