Myles Smith Is Never A Stranger In Glasgow

by | Feb 23, 2025

Last Thursday Glasgow’s SWG3 was rocked overnight by the phenomenal Luton born Myles Smiths, as part of his We Were Never Strangers Tour. From the moment he took the stage the show brimmed with uncontrolled enthusiasm and excitement, creating a memorable atmosphere. As the venue grew, concertgoers eagerly awaited the appearance of the TikTok sensation.

Before encouraging the crowd to sing along to Shaboozy’s smash track A Bar Song, the night opened with the extremely outstanding and talented Adrien Nunez, who originates from New York, USA. The evening got off to a fantastic start when he stunned everyone in attendance by wearing a Scotland football top that was customised with his name on the back. The American singer captivated the audience with his original compositions All I Ever Do and Low Road. The crowd was so dedicated to the songs that they sang every word, even if they had only been performed live on a few occasions. The former college basketball star’s set was filled with dancing and singing from those in attendance. He informed the crowd that he was thrilled to be back so soon after his own headline tour concluded last month.

Wait For You, the second track from Myles Smith’s second EP A Minute, opened his powerful performance. Fans of every generation engaged in the dancing and singing, generating an incredible atmosphere. Despite the venue’s large size, the 26-year-old Londoner effortlessly connected with the large standing crowd at the front and back.

Expressing a sincere commitment to remain by a loved one through thick and thin, before introducing Whisper, a genuine, and extremely honest song, the Englishman took a moment from the stage to speak to the fans about being in love and what it’s like to be loved. As a result, SWG3 was illuminated by phone lights and swaying as fans listened to every word Smith sang.

The creative lyrics enhanced the evening, offering each song an additional intimate and pure feel. Fan favourites My Home, Nice To Meet You, and Stargazing, which has received 667 million streams in the UK and spent 10 weeks on the US Hot 100, were among the evenings setlist. Which in itself featured both unreleased and released songs.

Smith’s status as a rising star in the music industry was cemented when those in attendance were treated to an evening of genuine emotion and showmanship.

The singer exited the stage to the loud cries of No Scotland, No Party before quickly coming back for the concluding song. Returning to an encore of the popular 2024 track Stargazing in a Scotland Football top, which had fans dancing and singing along until the end of the incredible evening. Smith ended the night with a last chorus, leaping off stage to be closer to the crowd after the hit song’s final lyric. It was a fantastic night spent with the fans.

Garbage Celebrate Three Decades Of Defiance At London’s Roundhouse

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.

Full Circle At O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire: Lifehouse Return To London In Intimate Acoustic Triumph

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.

It was yet another warm, sunny London day, the start of the country’s next heatwave, as thousands descended on Hyde Park for the final day of the second BST Hyde Park weekend of 2026. There was another event looming over the evening too: England’s World Cup Round of 16 clash with Mexico, kicking off at the decidedly unsociable hour of 1am. Football could wait though. Sunday belonged to disco legends, glam-pop icons and one of Britain’s most enduring bands as Duran Duran headlined a day that effortlessly balanced nostalgia with timeless musicianship.
