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.
Bad Omens Set Nottingham Ablaze With a Career Defining Performance
Stepping into Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena, fans were immediately met with buzzing merchandise stands and bars already working overtime—proof that anticipation for Bad Omens was sky-high long before the lights dimmed. But nothing could prepare the arena for what came next.

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.
2hollis Turns The O2 Victoria Warehouse into His Own World in Manchester
On Friday 24th November 2025, 2hollis turned the O2 Victoria Warehouse Manchester into his own world. Throughout his set he delivered high-energy and chaos, with his EDM-leaning sound that he’s known for.
The Last Dinner Party at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom
This was my first time seeing The Last Dinner Party, and after that show I only wish it hadn’t taken me so long. They brought their tour to the Barrowlands after playing a sold-out show at the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh the night before.
Mac DeMarco at Aviva Studios In Manchester
Mac DeMarco at Aviva Studios has to be one of, if not my favourite gig I’ve photographed. With Mac being my favourite artist for the last 7-8 years, I knew it was going to be a great night. I’d previously seen Mac twice before, once in Paris and more recently in Berlin; yet I was still buzzing for this show in Manchester even though I have seen him perform before.
Loyle Carner at Glasgow’s O2 Academy
I was fortunate enough to catch Loyle Carner’s second show out of three at the O2 Academy in Glasgow. I’ve loved his music for years now and it was great to see him live again.
Native James at The Deaf Institute
The Deaf Institute in Manchester got hit with something different on November 4th. Native James; an experimental grime and metal artist. He brought a set like no other. The venue was small, the lights were low, but the energy was unreal. The small, grunge venue created an explosive, but intimate connection between Native James and the crowd. No barriers, no distance, just sweat, bass, and pure adrenaline. His stage presence was undeniable; every movement felt charged, unpredictable, and alive. It's no surprise he's been selected for Download Festival 2025.
