Drugdealer At Saint Luke’s - Glasgow

Drugdealer headlined his first ever Scottish show at Saint Luke’s. I was really looking forward to the gig as a fan of his music. The night started shakily, with a couple of early mess-ups and even a song that had to be restarted, which immediately knocked the momentum.

MGK at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena

This was my fourth time seeing him live, and it’s been incredibly inspiring watching his transformation from 2017 until now. The first time I saw him was at O2 Academy Bristol, and then again at SWX Bristol, both smaller-capacity venues. Seeing that progression—from those intimate shows to selling out arenas—has been remarkable to witness with my own eyes.

The Vaccines brought a packed Usher Hall to life as part of the 15th anniversary tour for their debut album What Did You Expect from the Vaccines?. They played the record in full to start the night, which meant the crowd got hit with one early favourite after another. Hearing those songs back to back after all these years felt special, with all of the room singing along.

Neck Deep in Birmingham

As part of their “Life’s Not Out To Get You” 10-Year Anniversary Tour, Neck Deep took over the O2 Institute in Birmingham and they brought pop punk insanity with them. Kicking off the evening was Anxious, a spirited band hailing from Connecticut. Their set was a mix of passion and raw energy, captivating most of the audience despite a few rough patches. You could see the confidence building as they played, and their enthusiasm was infectious. This was the start of 3 absolute whirlwinds on stage.

Mumford and Sons: Live at OVO Hydro

The stage setup was one of my favourite parts of the performance. A massive, layered circular light structure hung above the stage, displaying stars, flowers, and hearts that lit up beautifully throughout the set. Rows of fairy lights stretched the length of the Hydro, adding even more atmosphere.

Forever and Ever. Sunday (1994) Close Their Tour in a Haze of Light

Sunday (1994) played their biggest headline show to date at EartH Theatre in Hackney on 20th November 2025. The venue felt tailor-made for them, its soft, vintage theatre setup matching the band’s hazy, romantic aesthetic. The tour has centred on their new EP, “Devotion”, threaded together with fan favourites, and the crowd, spanning generations, showed up ready for a communal singalong.
