O2 Academy 3 Birmingham

Amazing...I wish all the metal shows to be like that...Great party and crazy fans as it supposed to be!!!!

Blushing are a band I have been longing to see here in the UK ever since I first heard of them on DKFM Shoegaze Radio. So, I was delighted when they were announced as support to Ringo Deathstarr for their UK tour. They were absolutely awesome, dreamy, lush, shimmering ethereal sparkly and gleaming, indeed they shone brightly considering this was their debut appearance in Birmingham, putting on a confident, assured set. Headliners Ringo Deathstarr were excellent also, bringing their full repertoire of soaring, hazy, squall and confident noise pop, delivering a blinding set full of confidence and energy. They really can make you race along and suddenly allow you to glide astride their sonic blisswaves. They ended by lampooning Oasis and their song Champagne Supernova, trying to get the crowd to sing the chorus in a droning, low end monotone fashion, deciding to sing instead the chorus to the Beatles song She Loves You, all good fun.

Deans energy was amazing! He shows a lot of love for his fans his high notes are as great as you’d expect! The whole crowd singing along was such a buzz. Would love to see him again. The venue was awful, far too cramped and no air conditioning!! People were fainting and leaving due to the heat it was far far too hot. I personally had to leave due to the heat being to bad with health issues I have. Plenty of bar space we didn’t have to queue and the merch was good too. Wish this review could have been 5 stars (venue fault not Dean) and a much better experience but it was disappointing after travelling 4 hours to stand in a sauna 🤣

Amazing!!!! So good! Can't wait to see them again!!
