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.

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.
