New venue for me... took 2hrs and a couple of border controls to fight through the 12 miles... almost turned back... so pleased I didn't. This was a fabulous event and is a memory bank keeper. I think there were about 80-100 in the audience and so personal, you really got that the three were there just for you. For the last two songs , the guys came onto the floor and performed acoustically in the round; a living-room-style experience.

From the incredibly early start (1830 so that all THREE bands' sets could be played through) to the final encore the concert was genuinely superb. VoA were on really top form throughout being back at a venue which had been both Clementine's and Michele's first venue in London (albeit some years apart) The fact that it was Clementine's birthday brought an additional level of magic to everything with the audience singing 'Happy Birthday' TWICE (the first time entirely spontaneously) and Michele changing the refrain on one song for the audience to sing 'Happy Birthday Clemmy" It was an absolutely fabulous concert and a real privilege to be present at. Come back to London soon VoA - next week wouldn't be too soon!

The most incredible night I could ask for. This was the second time I have had the pleasure of going to one of Gönül’s shows, and she was once again FLAWLESS from start to finish. You will not be able to find a more gifted artist anywhere you look—she is truly in a league of her own and I cannot wait to go to many more of her shows in the years to come. She is a joy to listen to, and if anyone has the opportunity to see her perform, I say you should absolutely take it - she’s the best!! 🙌

Although UIW were supporting Catch Your Breath, I went to this gig mostly for them. Maybe I'm a little biased since the lads have been my most listened to artist ever since they dropped Inside My Head, but they absolutely rocked. London always seems to be up for it, and I really believe that the crowd energy passed on to each of the acts on the night. UIW were really good, I could feel my voice suffering around mid-set when Octane had finished. Awesome night! Got to meet the guys at the merch stand before and after the show, really friendly lot. As for the O2 Islington, the venue always seems to give the support acts the same sound as the headliners, something I love about going there.

Love Caskets, so they could have been awful and I'd still have enjoyed my night. Great energy from the lads, and just the right amount of added angst that you'd expect from a live show. To be honest, I was the tiniest bit let down in the moment because Matt was struggling with some of the high notes. It wasn't enough of an issue to take away from the overall experience, and the crowd just stepped up anyway. When re-watching some footage at home the next day you could clearly see that he was either unwell or the tour was taking a toll on the voice - so please don't let that deter you from seeing them if you get a chance. Worth mentioning that Colorblind were also really good, they took time after the show to meet the fans too. Pure class.

The evening could only be described as beautiful carnage. TDWP were awesome - energetic, vocals on fire, good crowd interaction. Such a great night and the crowd couldn't have been any more up for it. The support acts were all great in different ways and by the time TDWP started their set, the place was ready to explode. The O2 Academy is a great smaller venue. From doors opening to the first act only took 30 minutes, which was just enough time to get some merch and a drink. The staff were helpful, b*t they never expected to be catching as many crowd surfers as they did, but they obliged regardless.

Band where incredible! Only problem was the venue, they don’t have an accessible area so even though i was front of the queue and had waited there since 10:30am i didn’t get barricade. Please fix this. This is the second time this has happened to me at a lovejoy gig. It can’t be that hard to have a accessible area instead of just letting the people who only just showed up take the entire barrier 😫

First time i've been able to see Taylor live with me being in the UK, but OMG she was absolutely phenomenal!! Words literally can;t explain just how amazing she is! I also had VIP tickets too so i got to meet her aswell, and she is the absolute sweetest woman ever!!! There is literally nothing that she can't do! Absolutely mind blown!! She is genuinely thankful for all her fans <3

One of my favourite bands but spoilt for me by a bad mix (could hardly hear vocals and guitar over the subs for all of the bands). Plus one of the supports I was looking forward to had a random person doing vocals and didn’t say why. I ended up having to leave half way through Currents’ set in the end as they split a crowd that was too packed to do it safely and people were idiots about it and I got hurt and stressed despite deliberately not standing in the ‘pit zone’. Maybe if I could’ve heard the songs over the bass it would’ve felt worth battling through the idiots in the crowd and the panic attack.

PAIN my favourite band of twenty years. Always stunning. The boys were amazing again, especially Peter -even more than ever. The only star is taken off is for the Sound mix, very poor, the drum was tinny and you could only hear that, everything else was drowned out rather. It didn't stop everyone having a great time. The venue staff were also lovely! Even provided umberellas for the smokers in the rain! Coat store was £4 which is a little expensive but at least there was the option.

I've seen hundreds of live performances over the years, from megastars to local bands. This was the best live gig I have ever attended! The quality of their music, and the effort they put into their act, are beyond anything I have previously seen. I've seen The Warning twice now, and I will be certain to find them again on their next tour to Europe. By then I expect they will command only the very largest venues! As for the venue, it was pretty good as they go. Sound system was excellent, and the AirCon was actually effective - on a very warm night.

This was the 3rd time I have seen The Warning and this one is, without doubt, the best concert I have been to. I am an avid Nightwish fan and thought nothing could top watching them live… Well The Warning just did that without any pyro or light shows, just three incredibly talented sisters and their team and of course the fans made it a night that my daughter and I will never forget. Not forgetting the opening act, Dead Pony who were great. Best night of my life, a fantastic end to their European tour.

I first saw GWAR back when every council in the land was banning them, around 1990. I’ve always held that gig in my memory as a ‘top ten’ and over 30 yrs later they still provide an amazing, hilarious, blood soaked show. I did think back in the day their music wasnt my thing but the catalogue they’ve produced actually has something for all hard rock fans. Under the stage act are some good musicians and song writers who are still churning out anthemic tunes. The current line up are not just keeping the legacy of GWAR going they are adding to it. They still have that scum dog magic🤘

Venue was way too small for a band with their following. It was GREAT to have this band back. There was a risk they’d gone for good. BUT Diana Leah was a joy. Loved her personality - almost apologetic (in case fans felt she was an interloper). She was attractively self-effacing - making her very appealing. Her voice is great. & she fits in well. The whole atmosphere of the band was tight. Brave choices for the set ie old Charlotte songs were in there & sounded just as good. New songs from the latest album have THE style & are already classics. Loved the way, at the end, they said “we’re not doing an encore, we’re meeting you in the merch area”. They care about fans. & Paolo was fun too.

OMG, how have I missed this band esp as around in various guises since '94! Energy, presence, great music and Ambre's wonderful voice. Albums have seemed 'so-so' up to now but on-stage Xandria is totally different to studio Xandria. Badly need to take cards for merch though - cash or Paypal was a right PITA. Eye opener for me and now def adding to my playlist and 'go to' list for next visit to the area.

Soen were sublime. It was an amazing night, with three bands, playing flawlessly. Horrse Ocean began the night with a succession rip-roaring songs, that got everyone buoyant, they were followed up by Lizzard, from France, and they played some wonderful songs, great melody and rythme. The drumming was awesome, and the vocalist was inspiring. Final Soen came on stage and rocked! Song after song, was played with 100 percent conviction. Totally amazing night. Up there with my favourite band selections, such as Tool/APC/Pusifer, Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Wheel and Alice in Chains.

- The Courtyard Theatre Venue She sounded amazing and was so nice to actually meet her in person! It said the doors opened at 7pm but we got in at 8pm. The support act came on around 8:10pm and Dylan then came on around 9pm. There was a lot of waiting around in tiny rooms, it didn’t feel very well organised but because she was so good it was 100% worth it in the end. Security were quite strict - no drinks and asked for ID for 15+ which is a bit ridiculous as what 15 year old will carry around ID! Also, unless you are desperate for the front you don’t need to get there at opening time as it’s a lot of waiting around and the venue is quite small you are so close anyway.

It was amazing the first bm concert I been too and me being 16 I was so scared I was upfront in the middle and I could barely breath pushing everyone with my bum but it was a good experience although my neck for hurting for 3 days after head banging I met teloch don’t how to spell his name and he was amazing I’m on his insta and I could never ask for nothing more I met wonderful ppl and made friends I was scared cause I’m a poc and they helped me as I’m 16 love to all those ppl

Show was originally meant to be at O2 academy Islington but was moved to Old Blue Last club. It was absolutely amazing. Smaller venue but very loud so perfect for a rock gig of this sort. From Another Mother kicked off the proceedings in a very confident professional manner. Punk rock prog fusion was just what the doctor ordered. Vizelj followed in a sane fashion. Serbian post punk trio energised show was just incredible. Nevermind the language barrier. It was all there and then. Them Moose Rush are going to be huge. They play every gig with such incredible ease it is astonishing they are not already a household name. Sugar on top came in the shape of M.O.R.T. Croatian blues punk vagabonds took us for a trip we are not going to forget that easy. Sing after song crowd was getting more and more jubilant which erupted in an explosion of emotions and the wall of sound. My God that was gig and a half !
