Lamb Of God – State Of Unrest Tour – OVO Wembley Arena, London
This tour was announced in 2019, for 2020. Due to THAT THING we dare not mention, the tour was then pushed back to 2021. Then 2022. Then one final time to 2023. However, that wouldn’t be the last postponement for the London show of the tour, after an unfortunate incident at the beloved Brixton Academy...

Bad Omens – A Tour Of The Concrete Jungle – The Dome, London

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...
