BABYMETAL - The O2 Arena, London (Friday 30th May 2025)
Top concert! Everything was unreal!
The energy, the crowd, the stage: everything was unreal. I've attended over 50 concerts in my life, and this one has made it to the top five. BABYMETAL are on another level when it comes to shows!

SUPERGRASS - Octagon Centre, Sheffield (Monday 12th May 2025)
Superb Concert
Supergrass' 30 years I Should Coco album anniversary tour: I've seen them eight times now, keep getting better. An amazing live band. Hopefully they'll still be around for a few more years 🙏

GLASTONBUDGET - Turnpost Farm, Leicestershire (Thursday 22nd - Sunday 25th May 2025)

Had a fabulous weekend, the music was fantastic!
The music was fantastic. The event was so well organised, and the staff on site worked tirelessly with a smile to ensure they provided the best experience for all. I will be going again next year and will recommend it to family and friends. What a lovely, feel-good festival!

ANDREA BOCELLI - The O2 Arena, London (Friday 2nd May 2025)
Amazing, Unforgettable Performance
It was the best concert I have ever attended. Truly amazing, Andrea Bocelli and his guests did not disappoint.
This was a truly emotional experience, one that I will never forget.

CALL OF THE WILD 2025 - Lincolnshire Showground, Lincoln (Thursday 29th May - Sunday 1st June 2025)

Another Great Call of the Wild Festival!
We love the friendly vibes as soon as you walk in – from the security and bag checkers to the bar staff and everyone else.
It’s a well-run event with two main stages, so you don’t have to move far to catch the next band.
Plus, the tented stage always provides shelter and showcases up-and-coming talent. We’ve seen some great bands in there! A brilliant line-up – some bands we knew, and others we didn’t... but we’ll be following them now!
Also, a big shout out to the toilets – cleaned every hour, with toilet roll, hot water and soap.
I mean, what’s not to love? Great food, doughnuts, coffee, beers, and more. We’ll be back for a third time next year. A fantastic family-friendly event!

TOM WALKER - Llwyn Isaf (Library Field), Wrexham (Sunday 4th May 2025)
Great Night!
Tom was really engaging with the crowd, and his amazing voice came across brilliantly. The sound check was spot on, too, especially for a small outdoor venue!

PANIC SHACK - The Bullingdon, Oxford (Sunday 18th May 2025)
Smashing!
I loved it from start to finish - funny, witty, sexy, sassy... everything you’d want.
It was brilliant to see a band having so much fun and giving it their all. They were enjoying themselves so much, the energy couldn’t help but rub off on the crowd!

ARE YOU LISTENING? FESTIVAL - Various Venues, Reading (Saturday 10th May 2025)

Always A Great Day
The Heavy Pop guys always put on a fantastic day in Reading. Great blend of acts, and they always have their fingers on the pulse of what’s up and coming.
This year Man/Woman/Chainsaw, CLT DRP and Magnolia are all top notch!
