Welcome to The Concert Club!

We are major music lovers and avid gig goers first and foremost, and it is this passion which inspired us to create a concert-loving community which we hope you’ll become a part of.
Black Country, New Road are one of those bands I know will never disappoint live. Thursday's show at Queen's Park was my fourth time seeing BC,NR. I previously caught them twice at Primavera Sound in Barcelona and at their headline show at Glasgow's Barrowland Ballroom last year.
The Black Parade’s twentieth anniversary came alive, unmistakably roaring through Wembley Stadium last night, carried by a crowd that sang every single note. My Chemical Romance returned to London delivering a monumental performance that honoured two decades of legacy.
“We are never going to forget tonight”, frontman Simon Neil told the crowd, and with 45,000 fans filling the park, it was definitely a night for the band’s history books - and ours too.
Pop sensation Katy Perry brought her vibrant energy and charming spirit to the grounds of Cardiff Castle on July 30th.
The Irish rap trio performed at Crystal Palace Park to over 20k people making it their biggest headline gig of their careers so far and a historic moment in the meteoric rise of the group.
The 33-year-old Grammy-nominated artist headlined the event at this iconic venue, which is most celebrated for accommodating up to 35,000 guests during large-scale outdoor performances.
I had the incredible privilege of attending Ethel Cain’s Willoughby Tucker Forever Tour last night in the grounds of Cardiff Castle. The 28-year-old American singer-songwriter and recorder Hayden Silas Anhedönia, known professionally as Ethel Cain has brought her ambient and Southern Gothic style music to the heart of Cardiff.
The star known for hits such as “Stargazing and “Nice to meet you” took over the town on 15th June calling the event “My Mess, My Heart, My Luton” to celebrate the release of his new album.
On 1st June, Dermot Kennedy brought his The Weight of the Woods tour to Cardiff’s Utilita Arena. The last time I attended a concert at this venue was when I saw J. Cole perform there in 2017, so it was refreshing to return and experience another live show in the arena.
Thundercat played Usher Hall on April 1st, ahead of the release of his new album “Distracted”. This was my third time seeing Thundercat and it never gets boring, always keeping his setlist and stage design different.
“Actually, I love these songs, I want people to know that they came from me.”
