Such is the interest and respect Birmingham Live has for a band like Sigur Ros, we are willing to break free of our immediate borders and travel north. The band has not graced our city since 2005; the closest they came on the last tour in 2013, was Wolverhampton. I don’t know what we did […]

Beyond the Tracks Day Three, 17th September, 2017
We stand in a muddy field as sheets of rain fall onto our jackets and boots. Huddled together we probably look like a pack of penguins, muddy and weathered penguins. For any at a festival it is a familiar scene. Masses of people huddled together standing firm against the weather as they listen to the […]
Sigur Ros @ Manchester Apollo, 16 September 2017
Such is the interest and respect Birmingham Live has for a band like Sigur Ros, we are willing to break free of our immediate borders and travel north. The band has not graced our city since 2005; the closest they came on the last tour in 2013, was Wolverhampton. I don’t know what we did […]
Beyond the Tracks Day Two, 16th September, 2017
Beyond the Tracks, a new Birmingham music festival, started Friday with an electronic revival. As festivalgoer’s danced and swayed with the electronic music, good endorphins flowed, leaving the group energized and excited. Saturday continued the liveliness, but took a different sonic path from the night before. Bringing in heaps of rock magic, Saturday at Beyond […]
Beyond the Tracks Day One, 15th September, 2017
Birmingham’s own Beyond the Tracks kicked off an excellent festival weekend with a Friday night full of electronic dancing and local talent. The apply named festival, Beyond the Tracks took place next to the rail across from Moor Street station. The festival brought together a collection of electronic and rock artists that where both […]
Neil Sedaka + Jack Lukeman @ Symphony Hall, 14th September, 2017
The UK has always been somewhat of a sanctuary for a pool of American performers seemingly ousted from the limelight by the dramatic shift in appetites during the early 1960s. The likes of Roy Orbison, Del Shannon and tonight’s headliner, managed to find an appreciative audience on this side of the pond long after their […]
V Festival @ Weston Park, Sunday 20th August, 2017
After a great Saturday at V Festival Sunday had a lot to live up to. In the wise words of Justin Bieber “Never Say never.” It is perhaps an idiom that Busted should’ve listened to. The band dispensed, only to reunite in 2016 releasing an album alongside their reconstruction. For fans and band alike, the […]
V Festival @ Weston Park, Saturday 19th August, 2017
After a great opening night our team were awake and ready to go to see as much as they could at V Festival on Saturday. Scouting for Girls opened up the main stage Saturday afternoon. Celebrating ten years as band, the lads put on a crowd pleasing set that woke up a hungover and tired […]
V Festival @ Weston Park, Friday 18th August, 2017
Amidst the rain and smeared glitter V Festival kicked off on a chilly and wet Friday night. A steady downpour welcomed most festival goers, so setting up camp and figuring out the layout brought exciting challenges. Once settled in fans flooded, pun intended, into the arena to check out the nights sets. Popular DJ and […]
Inner City Live @ O2 Academy, 12th August 2017
Inner City Live posed the question “when is a festival not a festival?”. The answer is straightforward – it’s when it is a gig with four bands. The topic of the move from the Rainbow Arena to the O2 Academy may well be subject to rumour control and conjecture but the fact is, it turned […]
Gary Numan @ The Assembly, Leamington Spa, 29th July 2017
Tonight’s an early start. It’s 7.15pm when support act for Gary Numan, (IAM) WARFACE take to the stage to greet the near capacity crowd. They open with ‘ To Die For ‘, and it’s clear that the guys mean business tonight. They are going to take advantage of their prestigious support slot and enjoy every […]
MADE Festival @ Digbeth 29th, July, 2017
MADE Birmingham is a music festival that is on an upward trejectory. Now in its fourth year its a day of music that has come to epitomize Birmingham’s rich musical heritage and pave the way for those who are on their way. Those who are equally as thrilled at the many revellers at the […]
Oceans Ate Alaska @ Mama Roux’s, 26th July 2017
Up first, supporting Oceans Ate Alaska, we had Failure Is An Option, a midlands-based metal band who I’ve seen once before when they opened for Bad Omens at The Flapper a few months back. Their style is a mix of emo; especially with clean singer Matt’s singing, intertwined expertly with Brandon’s guttural death growling and […]
V Festival @ Weston Park 19th and 20th August, 2017
In 1996 Pulp front man Jarvis Cocker had a wild idea, he desired to play two different outdoor stages in two days. Two gigs, two days, two stages. In August of that year it happened. With two stages and one tent a small festival sprung from the ground, becoming what we now know as […]
