New wave pop superstars Culture Club are no strangers to the limelight; the band has created groundbreaking records since the 1980s.

Florence and The Machine @ Genting Arena, 16th November 2018.
Over the past decade, Florence Welch has alongside her ensemble backing band established herself as an internationally renowned artist, hitting her peak in the UK with a highly acclaimed headline set at the prestigious Glastonbury Festival in 2015. Since then, things have been a little more low-key until this year, which saw the release of […]
Greta Van Fleet @ o2 Academy, 14 November, 2018
It was clear from the second you entered the O2 Academy in Birmingham last night for the local date of Greta Van Fleet’s world tour in support of their debut album ‘Anthem of The Peaceful Army’ that it was a sell out show. And as those who regularly frequent the main room of Birmingham’s blue […]
Bernhoft @ o2 Academy, 13 November, 2018
Norwegian singer Bernhoft is a well of insane talent, a poetic lyricist. Undefined by genre or sound his music is a multifaceted reflection on life and love, an intoxicating mixture of noise that reverberates deep into your heart. Joined by band Bernhoft and the Fashion Bruises transformed the room at the O2 Academy, delivering a […]
Tom Misch @ o2 Academy, 12 November, 2018
From bedroom beat maker to melodic master of modern funk – Tom Misch has come a long way since he first started recording music as a fresh-faced teenager. Now with several records under his belt, the South London-based artist-producer has been selling out venues across Europe – and he’s only recently turned 23. On the back […]
Leon Bridges @ o2 Institute, 11 November 2018
Leon Bridges is a performer whose artistry and popularity owes much to the stylistic and musical constraints he imposes on himself. Despite that, it’s when his voice cuts free and stands for itself – often supported by minimalist background arrangements – that he reaches heights that have seen him compared with key influences like Sam […]

This Is TMRW have taken over The Crossing in Digbeth for a weekend of gigs, with Kurt Vile being Friday’s offering resulting in a sell-out show.

Hard Rock Hell XII Red Carpet Awards
Last year’s HRH Awards proved to be such a success, that they return for their 2nd year. In attendance are the rich and famous, the bands that are performing, bands up for awards and all related associates such as PR, Agents and of course the Fans (which without them there would be none of […]
First Aid Kit + The Staves @ o2 Academy, 7th November 2018
The massive queue of people from the Pagoda island to the venue should have assured me that much has changed in the world of First Aid Kit from when I last saw them live. Later on, when I start counting backwards I realise that it is more than eight years ago. Back then they […]
Impericon Never Say Die Tour @ The Asylum, 7th November, 2018
Bringing about the best of metalcore Impericon’s Never Say Die! Tour is not for the faint of heart but if metal or hardcore is your scene, it is a night that cannot be missed. With a set list of insane bands the night is poised for greatness. This, however, paired with the tour’s focus on […]
Sigrid @ O2 Academy, 4th November 2018
Oli Fox starts tonight’s proceedings, dressed in a silver jacket which is, apparently, to make him look more interesting than he really is and seemingly not fully confident on stage in front of a near sell-out crowd. His brand of pop comes from the land of Sam Smith with a smooth nasal sound, wide vocal […]
Lewis Capaldi + Nina Nesbitt @ o2 Institute, 3rd November, 2018
On 31st of March 2017 Lewis Capaldi’s life took a dramatic shift. The self-release of his first single ‘Bruises’ on that date brought him almost instant fame amassing an insane 28 million plays on Spotify worldwide. He found himself hopping on tour with the likes of Rag N Bone Man and Sam Smith, playing […]
The Sheepdogs @ Actress and Bishop, 2nd November, 2018
Long grey haired rockers and young slightly scruffy hipsters crowded into the packed room of the Actress and Bishop, the swelling body heat negating the cold chill from outside. Packed together whispers rose, excitement filling the air. The crowd had gathered for Canadian folk rock band The Sheepdogs; no doubt they stumbled across the band […]
