Blackie Lawless is to Rock what the Milky Bar Kid is to chocolate, an unforgettable icon with a legendary status who seems to defy the normal rules of ageing! And tonight at the packed Eventim Apollo he is a man clearly intent on giving the audience a night that they will never forget.
Feeder Come Back Around To O2 Academy, Brixton
As Moonshine fades out, a picture of Jon Lee appears on the giant curved screen. The members of Feeder stand silent and motionless as the song's programmed drum loop continues for what must be a minute or more. Not just a moving tribute to their late drummer, it's a...
From Highway To Heartstrings: Katy Hurt Lights Up Northampton
Arriving at the iconic Roadmender in Northampton, a venue that has long anchored the town’s live-music scene, I was in search of that particular energy that makes a supporting act more than just a warm-up. Katy Hurt delivered exactly that: a shimmering, confident set...
The Triumphal Return Of Rachel Stamp With The Gospel At The 100 Club
Tonight was Rachel Stamp’s first full-band show since the loss of their legendary drummer Robin Guy, who sadly passed away from cancer last year. Heartbreakingly, his deputy Belle Star — who had also stepped in behind the kit on occasion — also died within months,...
Lord Huron Take London On A Cosmic Journey At The Hammersmith Apollo
London’s Hammersmith Apollo was transported far beyond earthly confines on Friday night as Lord Huron unfurled a set of widescreen folk-rock, infused with cosmic storytelling and cinematic flourishes. The Los Angeles collective, fronted by Ben Schneider, transformed the legendary art deco theatre into a dreamlike liminal space, where old ghosts, star-crossed lovers, and timeless wanderers came out to play, bathed in a 1950s Americana pastiche.
Blondshell Brings Electric Brixton To Boil On First Night Of London Double-Header
Sabrina Teitelbaum — better known as Blondshell — has built her reputation on raw honesty and songs that cut deep, and at the first of two back-to-back nights at Electric Brixton, she proved that her upward trajectory is far from slowing. With her sophomore record If...
Ash Light Up Scala & Celebrate Ad Astra With Career-Spanning Set And Graham Coxon Collaboration
There was a palpable sense of anticipation outside North London venue Scala on Wednesday night as Ash returned for the second of two sold-out headline shows. The Northern Irish trio have always thrived in the sweaty intimacy of small venues, but with their ninth...
The Long Road Festival 2025 – Day Three: Soul, Chaos & Catharsis
By Sunday, The Long Road Festival had found its rhythm. The fields of Stanford Hall carried the easy sway of a crowd sunburnt but unbowed, moving slower but still humming with anticipation. Chrome gleamed in the Lucky Dice Car Show, the smell of barbecue drifted lazily on the breeze, and six stages offered the final promise of fire, surprise, and catharsis.
The Long Road Festival 2025 – Day Two: Swagger, Soul & Moonshine
If Friday was the spark, Saturday was the explosion. The sun blazed down as dust swirled in the fields, laughter rolled across campfires and blankets, and the crowd arrived in full force. Day two was stacked with swagger, soul, and stadium-ready country, a perfect middle chapter to The Long Road story.
The Maccabees Experience Something Like Happiness At All Points East 2025
Orlando Weeks doesn’t chat much between songs. Usually it’s The Maccabees’guitarist Felix Whitewho does most of the bantering and hyping. So when the singer speaks towards the end of their jubilant festival headline return in London’s Victoria Park, his words hit hard.
The Hives Forever Forever The Hives At Here At Outernet
Tonight was one of five UK album launch shows for The Hives’ seventh LP: The Hives Forever Forever The Hives, staged at one of London’s newest venues, Here at Outernet. Built deep below Charing Cross Road, the room feels more like a bunker than a gig space — all the hospitality of a bomb shelter without the grit or charm of the old Astoria that once stood across the street. Comparable in size but lacking in atmosphere, it was nevertheless packed wall-to-wall with 2,000 eager Hives fans.
The Long Road Festival 2025 – Day One: Discovery & Crescendo
Day one at The Long Road Festival 2025 wasted no time reminding everyone why it has become the UK’s premier celebration of country and Americana. Nestled in the picturesque grounds of Stanford Hall, the site was alive with dusty boots, rhinestone sparkle, and the...
Reading Festival 2025 – Saturday: Sunburn, Lasers, Cameos, And A Headliner Victory Lap
If Friday at Reading Festival was about finding your feet, Saturday was about losing them. The sun had its claws in early—factor 50 was gone before noon, hats and sunglasses swapped around like currency. The site buzzed with that second-day mix of exhaustion and momentum: sore voices shouting louder than they should, hangovers beaten back by adrenaline, and the knowledge that today’s bill wasn’t going to let up. Reading in daylight is one thing. Reading on a Saturday is something else entirely.
Reading Festival 2025 – Friday: Goths At Brunch, Punks By Tea, Pop Saints At Dusk
Reading Festival doesn’t creep in, it descends. By Friday morning the site was already a sprawl of tents, flags and bleary eyes, the air carrying equal parts burnt coffee, mud and anticipation. The first day always feels like a reset: thousands of people shaking off the motorway, testing their voices, queuing for the first overpriced pint with the giddiness of kids at a fair. The promise is simple—three days where every stage might give you your new favourite band or a story you’ll tell until next year.
Matt Berninger Crosses An Inland Ocean At Troxy
Matt Berninger last performed in London just a few months ago. But a lot's changed since then. When he played an intimate set at Union Chapel in April, the singer was accompanied by just keys, guitar, and the vocals of support act Ronboy. His second solo album wasn't...
