Gary Numan @ O2 Institute, 19th October 2019
You’d be hard pressed to find an artist with the kind of career Gary Numan has had since his emergence as a pop icon at the turn of the 1980s.

For the uninitiated, the drama tells of gangsters who used to rule these Birmingham streets in the 1920s. The whole festival recreated the Peaky world perfectly. It was not just the young and old wearing […]

The final day of the festival awakens with the warm sun, drying out the rain soaked ground. As tired zombie bodies queue up for coffee we saunter around the stages, excited by the big day ahead.
