Descending on Bramham Park (just off the A1) again this year are hoards of music fans ready for a weekend of live music and good vibes. It’s clear that some revellers are celebrating recent GCSE and A-Level results and are using this as a celebration of all the hard work they have done over the …

Tyler Joseph of 21 Pilots Icy Tour

A self-starter indie band reaching global stardom at an accelerated rate can be both a blessing and a curse. Several years in, Twenty One Pilots are still putting on an exceptional large-scale show to a broad, dedicated fan base. The BBC Radio 1 tent at Reading Festival 2016 was my first exposure to Twenty One …

The iconic Isaac Theatre Royal fuses historic architecture, modern comfort and rich acoustics which set the canvas for Reb Fountain to express her art masterfully, theatrically and flawlessly. Jazmine Mary warmed the crowd with their visceral noir-folk sound, offering a psychedelic and moving teaser of some of their tracks from the album “The Licking of …

Co-headliners Simple Plan and Sum 41  brought the Blame Canada Tour tour to Spokane, Washington August 14 featuring support from Magnolia Park.

An almost sell-out venue saw …

Both released on Rock Action Records. With their …

Not so long ago, Death Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard was coming to us solely on video from his home studio. Remember the days when we were trying to keep each other sane from a distance? Gibbard spent over a year online, posting numerous solo performances and like many artists, provided us with some solace …

The Third in the Blumer’s Secret Orchard shows took place on a beautiful summers evening after another days racing. This time it was Imelda May who entertained the crowds late into the evening at Leopardstown Racecourse located below the Dublin Mountains which was then followed by DJArriving on stage at 8.40pm and playing a selection …

In the depths of a long, cold, Christchurch winter (and even longer pandemic), The Black Seeds arrived at the University of Canterbury’s Ngaio Marsh Theatre for a long-awaited album release and the opportunity for fans to connect, warm up and get their groove on. The challenges of making this show happen were significant, with three …

Birmingham’s Supersonic, that compact but perfectly realised gathering which The Quietus have designated ‘the mother of British underground festivals’, returned live to central Brum last weekend after a two year COVID hiatus and, judging by the final day, readily reclaimed its deserved touchstone status. Revered but relatively conspicuous in the festival furore, Supersonic is not …
