Engine Rooms

I have been following this band since I first saw them on Joe Bonamassa's cruise a couple of years ago. As usual, they were superb. Strangely enough it was my first visit to the Engine ROoms, despite having lived only 10 miles away for the past 20 years. I was impressed with the venue, and the sound quality. As a wheelchair user, I was treated respectfully by both staff and patrons. Singer Tom Hollister said they played the venue a year earlier and just over 200 people attended. This year it was heaving, with 700 people, all in full voice. The band was tight, Tom's vocals strong and powerful, proven when he walked up the the edge of the stage and sang with no microphone! Chris Buck's guitar work is always nothing short of jaw dropping. He did not disappoint. His tone is surreal, he plays with such feeling. All in all, I came out of that gig on a high, which I still felt the next day.

Absolutely stunning show! Those Damn Crows were outstanding and musically in terms of talent they are in a league of their own. Superb

The Stickmen show was awesome. Really enjoyed it and they even took the time at the end to have pics taken with some of their fans, including me. Thanks Stickmen for a great night.

Having seen MK before I was not disappointed he's a showman and should not be missed if you get the chance

very manic crowd which made it an amazing atmosphere. good venue but extremely hot. Inhaler were so good!

the atmosphere was absolutely electric, from the moment i stepped inside it reminded me of 2 years ago when i saw them at the same place (engine rooms southampton). the whole lineup couldnt have been better, stepson and great american ghost were fantastic picks for hype bands, and they really got the whole room moving. pits to ghost and alpha wolf were deadly, and i loved every second of it. to top it all off, alpha wolf and polaris were just incredible, alpha wolf were so heavy, and the whole crowd became the pits, with crowdsurfers galore. polaris brought very similar energy, but with much calmer pits which was, again, fantastic since the night was winding down. all in all, money well spent, 10/10 would get whiplash again. don't regret a single moment, or a single penny. big love to them all.

Would love to have seen them but had to isolate and too ill with covid and ticket web would not refund me even though I bought event insurance and sent pics of positive test fuck you ticket web never buying through you again

The support act Blind River were great... In truth I went to see them. They played a solid set and sounded great. I've never encountered Evil Scarecrow before, I obviously checked them out on Spotify before the show, but that in no way prepared me for what smacked me around the face at this gig. Obviously it's Metal, obviously they they time to perfect thier look... But the show itself, well its 18 hours later and I'm still trying to get my head around it all. The only way I can discribe it is PantoMetal, the costumes, the props, the wierd dances, the massive audience participation, the games, the free DVD give aways... It was mad. I'm all for a show, but in all honesty I felt that the the antics cheapened what is obviously a band that musically bloody good at what they do.

Amazing! I only found these guys a month before the concert. Loved every second, they really get the crowd going!

Cannot rate this guy highly enough! Top class DJ ,🔥 set. Brilliant atmosphere. Please come to Cardiff Daley!

My first time at the the Engine Rooms and what a great gig! The Sherlocks had a few technical problems on stage but that just serves to remind us just how hard it really is! Didn't detract from the gig at all. Buzzin' afterwards. Loved it!

Absolutely fantastic show! Lovebites were a great surprise, didn't think I'd enjoy them as much as I did. Dragonforce were incredible, brilliant atmosphere and, of course, music, all night!

First time seeing them and they blew me away they were absolutely brilliant and definitely see them again next time

Not enough superlatives for how accomplished Mr Gilbert is and how he has evolved. A joy to behold

Great gig as ever, Larry and DWayne on top form. Fantastic support from the magnificent Galway Street Club. Top night

Great night, two very good support acts followed by the headline act that played new and old material to an appreciative audience.

Great night , but can anyone explain to me why the first bands playing while everyone is out side waiting to get in , I mean doors open 6.30 first band 7 pm 😉not rocket science

What a night last night and absolutely brilliant night and all four bands put on a hell of a show will live long in the memory
