Live Reviews

Fresh off a number one record, headline performances, and an upcoming orchestral gig for Teenage Cancer Trust (sharing a line-up with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Liam Gallagher and The Who), they are a band making moves. On the 16th March, Don Broco took a step back to play an intimate show in Huddersfield, here’s what we thought.

Tonight, Twin Atlantic have been able to take their typically upbeat live set and transport it in an unconventional music environment, where the acoustics bounced off the walls to stunning effect.  

Who can make Hells Angel’s switch personalities with restless seven-year-olds who are convinced they’ve been cheated of the rock show they were promised? And what band can play a two and a half hour set whilst being their own support? Halestorm can.

Taking Back Sunday and Alkaline Trio announced their co-headlining short tour last year and emo kids, or adults to be more precise, had been eagerly awaiting it since.

This Lorna Shore show felt like a theatrical display, something plucked out of the West End and shoved into the world of Deathcore. 

The Libertines’ fans in London may have been worried as frontman Pete Doherty has battled with respiratory infections that may have prevented him from performing. However, they were treated to an amazing show in the end that went off without a hitch.

Pulling out all the stops and putting every single song into the setlist with pure emotion and elation this evening is more than testament to a debut record that has done so much.

What happens when a band, who have been rising the national ranks in popularity, finally return home for their first headline show since pre-COVID? Well, in YONAKA’s case, absolute chaos, that’s what.

Stand Atlantic are back in the UK and in the nearly four years since they first came over here to play at the Camden Assembly, they were back in Camden. This time at the much bigger venue the Electric Ballroom where they wowed fans with a pinpoint performance.

The Barrowland Ballroom is in the hearts of many as a staple within the Scottish music scene, holding its reputation as truly iconic for decades. A venue this iconic was worthy of the incredible line-up of Neck Deep, Wargasm, Higher Power and happydaze.
