Anniversary tours aren’t always a sign of a tire band in need of reviving. Sometimes it’s just a celebration of music that connects people in a way that nothing else really can. You Me At Six are one of the bands celebrating, and across two nights the band deliver slick and professional sets.

Even with the UK music scene in such rude health just now, there’s few bands who play this well with this much passion. From their delicate moments to monstrous and heavy sections, Black Peaks are totally undeniable - this band could be on the edge of a perfect storm of timing, songs and talent.

Even during the gremlin-plagued first half of the set, The Black Queen are great live. “Not every gig is perfect, but fuck it.” Those words fall out of singer Greg Puciato’s mouth just before they close their set. He’s right. This wasn’t the perfect gig, but it was uniquely special because of its imperfections.

It isn’t easy to translate music as lush and as intricate as that of The Contortionist live. It’s even more difficult to make it feel as immersive and effortless as they do. Joined by Palm Reader, we took a trip down to their show in Glasgow earlier this month - check out our review and photo gallery!

If the rest of Trivium’s career is made up of shows like this and albums like The Sin and the Sentence, they won’t go down as that band who followed the leaders; they’ll go down as leaders on their own terms.

After dropping new album The Stage at the end of 2016, Avenged Sevenfold are back with a brand new stage production, joined by returning hard rock legends Disturbed and Swedish melo-death stalwarts In Flames.

Last month Dance Gavin Dance made their long awaited return to the UK as part of their 10 year anniversary tour. The dates not only featured current vocalist Tilian Pearson, but also ex-vocalists Kurt Travis and Jonny Craig who shared vocal duties on select songs. We took a trip to the Glasgow show to capture some memories on camera!

Canadian punk quartet Billy Talent are no strangers to playing excellent shows in the UK, having been a favourite of festivals such as Download and Reading & Leeds since they first started playing shows over here over a decade ago. Tonight they were in Glasgow in support of their fifth album Afraid of Heights.
