Enter Shikari – A Kiss For The Whole World Tour: UK 2 – SWX, Bristol
Enter Shikari are a band that often plays by their own rule book, so for them to announce 3 rounds of tours in support of their new album shouldn’t really come as a surprise to anyone. Round 1 took place back in February and Round 2 seemed to sneak up on us! We took a...
An Evening With Fall Out Boy – Heaven, London
Rock and Punk music is deeply rooted in clubs and pubs around the world so when it comes to seeing shows in that space, that is the ultimate way to experience them. Fall Out Boy, who usually play arenas around the world, decided that for the launch of their new album, they would play two...

Bad Omens – A Tour Of The Concrete Jungle – The Dome, London
Selling out a show is one thing but selling out an entire European tour is something many bands dream of doing. Bad Omens Concrete Worldwide tour saw the European Leg sell out way in advance of the shows and even adding multiple dates in cities such as London didn’t change that. This may be a...
South Arcade – The Grace, London
It’s not every day a band makes a TikTok offering ‘entry to a show’ that completely goes viral however that is exactly what happened to Oxford’s own South Arcade. The band kept to their word and offered free tickets to a show at London’s Grace venue which sold out almost instantly! We just had to...
Avatar – Dance Devil Dance World Tour – O2 Forum Kentish Town, London
A cold, bitter night fell upon Camden Town while the legions of Avatar faithful pulled into Kentish Town to witness the one and only heavy metal circus.

Punk Rock Factory – Excellent Adventure Tour – Lafayette, London
Punk Rock and Pop Culture have an awful lot in common when you really think about it so when Punk Rock Factory offers you a night of nostalgia in the form of punk rock covers you would be a little foolish to turn it down. Headlining King Cross’ Lafayette, the band had enlisted the support...
Palaye Royale – Fever Dream Tour 2023 – Eventim Apollo Hammersmith

The queue spanned for miles and everyone seemed in good spirits for a night jam-packed with eccentric music. Here’s what went down! Starbenders opened proceedings to an already packed Eventim...
Imperial Age – New World Tour, London
I’m pretty sure we can all agree that shows getting postponed is frustrating, so when the Imperial Age had their UK tour postponed 5 times, it’s safe to say many were wondering if it would even go ahead. Well, the tour has gone ahead and the final stop on their voyage across Britania is The...
Artio – Worthless Tour – The Black Heart, London
Camden Town is a home away from home for people who don’t quite seem to fit anywhere else so it comes as no surprise that it hosts many different and progressive artists within the cities borders.

Boston Manor – December Weekends 2022 – O2 Academy Leicester
Often bands find themselves missing the same cities on every tour, so when Boston Manor announced a string of dates in places they haven’t played in a while, I’m sure residents of these often forgotten towns were overjoyed. On Top of that they would be treated to a full playthrough of the band’s latest album...
