Gary Clark Jr is an absolutely amazing performer, and the whole band were great, too. Although he was mainly showcasing JPEG Raw, his latest album, he included some of my favourite numbers from previous albums, including a standout performance of Bright Lights.
The venue is good, although they left us standing in a queue out in the rain for what seemed a long long time.
Absolutely amazing gig. Love the venue, previously saw Michael Schenker there. It's easily accessible for us, not too big, good access and exit, friendly security staff. Also 2 bars alongside the main standing area and cloakroom.
Miles Kennedy is awesome on stage, such easy talent and very humble. He genuinely appears to enjoy the audience. Support act Devin Townsend didn't do anything for me at all, but others seemed to enjoy.
My gig of the year! Rachel and her band were brilliant, bringing her repertoire to life in a way that was completely unexpected, I was ready for something mellow and chilled and what I got was a classy vibrant emotional rollercoaster and a work out! The show was so full of joy and energy but also some really raw moments that were deeply authentic and moving. The only gig I have been to where the audience were crying and then ten minutes later rocking out and jumping around.
The support act was also brilliant and connected so well with the audience.
I think the forum is the ideal size venue - small enough to feel intimate but big enough for the raw or the crowd to be electrifying. Wish the sound system was a little bit more powerful so you could hear the music over the enthusiastic fans
I have followed Blackbriar on line for a while and was excited to see them in London. They did not disappoint - they were STUPENDOUS from the moment they walked on the stage to the moment that left that stage after far too short a time. If that was Zora and teh band when they were recovering from being unwell, all I can say is WOW, could I even cope with them at 100%!!! All I want to know is when are they coming back or maybe I would travel to The Netherlands just to see them, it would certainly be worth it!
An evening cradled in the tender embrace of bluesy laments, intermingled with ferocious eruptions of rock. Two years I waited for Gary Clark Jr. to tour the UK and oh, what a feast for the soul it was. In the middle of the concert hall, where every corner rebounded with the sound of his guitar, I found a profound peace, basking in the aura of his extraordinary talent.
I was expecting a repeat of a show about 5 years back at the roundhouse where the playlist was a mixture of blues, rock, reggae, pop rock, bluegrass, blues rock. But last night it was mostly blues for the first 10/12 tracks, with two pop/rock songs thrown in at which I had to leave due to family reasons. So yeah a little disappointed comparatively to the previous gig.
Great little venue keeping it fairly up close.
Wanted to see Amaranthe for while now but came away from this feeling a little underwhelmed.
Clarity and power int he vocals was somehow lacking, maybe just the set up was wrong.
With a 4 band line-up time was cut really tight and had to skip the last track to catch the last train home.
Star of the night was, without a shadow of doubt, Beyond The Black.
My first run in with BTB and just blown away by their energy, content and presence.
Wow, definitely the best concert I have been to in a very long time; the whole evening was just amazing starting with the beautiful Roadhouse songs, before launching into some of their more heavy stuff, interspersed with some accoustics around a single guitar; the interaction with the audience was just brilliant. What an amazing band, and good to see the Roadhouse crew with them, and Rosie Carney too. Just such a fab evening.
Absolutely fantastic show. Pixies were as awesome as always. My two favourite albums so I was definitely in my element. First time at the Kentish Town O2 and I can honestly say it's the best O2 venue I've been to. Staff were really professional and friendly, the man who was arranging the accessible queue at the front was one of the best members of staff I've come across in nearly 40 years of going to gigs. It was a trek to come here from Birmingham but most definitely worth it.
Absolutely brilliant show by my favourite guys. They were engaging with the audience. They seemed excited to be in London which was so great; especially after having played many nights beforehand. Loved it as you can probably tell - if you get the opportunity go see Highly Suspect - do yourself a massive favour and go. Discover this band. They are tops.
O2 Forum at Kentish Town was a great venue. The staff were friendly while searching our bags etc.. they were security conscious yet told people to be patient - no need to push which by the way they weren't, but just in case. We got right at the front so had an amazing time
Support by The Picturebooks, they were so cool. A two piece but made noise like a 4/5 piece. Drummer Philip is crazy goes right into one. Reminds me of Animal - great band!!
The security was Infront of us when different people asked him to move his head out the way to see the actual singer(who we were there for) he waved us off and turned around, it was a bit unprofessional on his part I get he was trying to make sure nobody was coming in the box where the deck was ( the one in the middle) but that was rude for no reason next time he needs to stay to the side and do his job that way not in the middle where all we can see is his bald head. Thank you
Can barely find the words to describe the amazing show the guys made! Starting with the intro "Choose your fate", then taking us down memory lane with "Something", "Ashley", "10 miles wide", "The flood" or "The guillotine part 2", only to be in awe at "Issues", "Gorgeous nightmare" or "Broken heart". It was truly a dream come true to see them live! 🖤🤘 Def one of the best bands to watch live! And most definitely "On to the next one", hopefully soon. 🤘🖤
Me and my friends have been listening for 13 years and flew from norway to see escape The fate november 14th. The show was Absolutely amazing!!! The setlist was so good including lots of OG songs
They performed This war is ours that night too.. last time They did that was 2007!
We got The general admission tickets, and vip upgrade.
The vip upgrade included signed poster, photos, vip early entry to The show and a meet & greet; They were so sweet! We were nervous to meet them lol but it was such a good vibe 🫶🏻
Definitely gonna see them performing live again that show was lit!!!
Even though this was my third time seeing them live, it felt just like when I have seen them for the first time, way back in 2006. 🥹 Loved the old school vibes and songs that were part of the show. My teenage self was beyond excited to sing, dance, jump and scream once again. Really felt like the "First day of my life", again. 🖤🤗🙏 Plus, it fitted right in with my birthday. Double the enjoyment! 🥳♏
Excellent show. Crowd really up for it. All the "hits". Would have preferred "Magot Brain" to House of Pain cover, but really well done. Musicianship was top form.
Sound in venue though was really muggy. Seemed really packed, good for atmosphere but people just seemed to be constantly moving around so continually letting people through. Plus bugs me that the festival attitude has now moved indoors, I . E. Hey why don't we push to the front to shout our conversation in front of the people who have come to enjoy the music. WTF.
Anyway glad I went, 45yrs after first witnessing the landing of the Mothership GC was in great form.
I traveled from Germany & in my opinion it was 1 of the best concerts I’ve seen in my whole life. I had trouble 2 get home due 2 the storm, it took me 2 days & a few hundred € more than I have planned & I returned a day 2 late 4 work - but it was worth it.
You got a friend in me....
I'm Australian and was in London for a few weeks visiting family. The show was 2 days after we flew into London and I somehow convinced dad to take me and it was amazing! It was my second ever concert and Conan did not disappoint. The show was full of so much energy and the songs were so much better live and it was an all 'round great experience and I would love for Conan to come to Australia so I can see him again.
Man what a amazing Friday night. What a end to 2019. The best and my favourite hip-hop concert. Just By little beats last year Kendrick Lamar at the o2. J.I.D killed it tonight. He is going to be one of the best and popular rapper in the future. To say that I have seen him, before he has become famous itself is a dream come true. He Performed “Off Da Zoinkys” , “Workin Out”, “Off Deez”, “Never” and his best hit track “151 Rum”. He was amazing !!! 5 star performance !!!
Absolutely fantastic gig from start to finish. Initially I went to the gig thinking that Lacuna Coil was the only band to watch. However, I couldn't have been further from the truth. The impression left with me was that all bands that played were equally amazing.
I am now a fan of both infected rain and Eluveitie as well as lacuna coil.
Would definitely see them again in a heartbeat.
Thanks for the good times and memories. Loved every second.
The most amazing night ever!! Staff dealt with crowd servers so well a big thanks to the crowd themselves for helping my younger cousin get out of the crowd cos she was knocked down by a crowd server and then staff taking her out when she broke down. Also for them helping me when I got hurt (still threw myself right back into the crowd anyway😂) honestly a mad but brilliant night❤️❤️
