Led by singer-songwriter Josh Tillman, Indie-folk group Father John Misty played the second and final night of its sold-out stay at U Street’s Lincoln Theater on April 26.

This was Stereophonics’ second appearance this year, after playing a sold out show in March, a few days after releasing their latest album.

Speaking of the new album, you should know it is really good. Give it a listen if you haven’t already done so. The setlist was sprinkled with tracks from the album and the crowd not only loved them, but sang along to most of them, especially “Indian Summer”.

Skunk Anansie celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2019 by releasing new music, a live album (25Live@25) and starting their European tour. Skin is one of the world’s most iconic female performers, and Skunk Anansie are one of the best British rock bands of all time.

They say that insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Having already seen The Lumineers live twice in the past few years, seeing them graduate from playing mid-sized venues to selling out major stadiums, I felt like I had a pretty clear idea of what to expect for the third time around. Even for a band with a track record for surprising me, there are only so many ways that a band to up their game in a live setting.

The Libertines are back where they belong, selling out venues with their timeless classic catalogue of songs drenched in poetry, romance, heartbreak and nostalgia.

They embark on a huge UK tour this coming November/December.With the added influence of VAM (Various Artists Management) who are now formidable front runners in championing artists nationwide and globally, the band are in the perfect setting to remind everyone that they still have an important part to play on the live music circuit.

Wolf Alice must have been feeling the weight of lofty expectations and quite a lot of pressure on night 2 of their sold-out 4-night residency in the O2 Forum, Kentish Town. This is their home territory, a 4-night sell-out and alas their bass player Theo Ellis was sick-noted due to a swollen elbow. This resulted in a last-minute change to the support line-up where Kent duo Slaves were drafted in. Mercifully myself and my fellow attendee deliberately arrived too late to see them and got to the venue in time to see the final support act Bloody Knees.

Sitting in the bar of the Southbank Centre, my boyfriend looked at me and said “He's doing this show with a cellist. I think this might be... weird.

Multi-talented cult legends BLITZEN TRAPPER have added a genre to their mixed bag of tricks: musical theatre.

The supergroup of the century proving the 90s hardcore classics are utterly timeless.

“So this is where the Dodgers ended up,” Joel mused as he first addressed the crowd with a quick anecdote of his childhood in Brooklyn. He opened the night with “Movin’ Out”. Then went into a rocking rendition of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” to intro “My Life” before addressing the audience. A few quips later he was doing his impersonation of Elton John while covering his “Your Song” for a verse. Then giving the audience a choice to hear “Just the Way You Are” or “Vienna” the crowd wanted “Vienna” and they got it.
