Tori Amos – Bristol Beacon
Tori Amos brings her In Times of Dragons tour to Bristol Beacon ahead of the release of her eighteenth studio album, due on May 1, offering a set that draws from across her catalogue while introducing newer material into the fold.
The Cribs – Tramshed, Cardiff
At Tramshed Cardiff, this felt less like a midweek gig and more like a room full of people reconnecting with something that still matters: no big production, no distractions, just a band and a crowd completely on the same page.
Richard Ashcroft – Utilita Arena, Cardiff
Richard Ashcroft’s current run may have officially begun back in Manchester last November, but Cardiff marked the point where things properly picked up again, the second date as the tour rolls into 2026.
Hot Mulligan – The Prospects Building, Bristol
A lively crowd gathered at The Prospect Building in Bristol as Michigan emo favourites Hot Mulligan brought their latest UK tour to the city.
Of Monsters and Men – Bristol Beacon
A full house at the Bristol Beacon welcomed Of Monsters and Men on Friday, bringing The Mouse Parade tour into a venue built for clarity and balance. In a room that rewards detail, the Icelandic seven-piece delivered a performance that felt both expansive and tightly controlled.
Maxïmo Park – O2 Academy Bristol
Twenty years on from A Certain Trigger, Maxïmo Park still play like a band with something to prove.
Biffy Clyro – Utilita Arena Cardiff
By the time Biffy Clyro take the stage in Cardiff, the room is already fully engaged. A sold-out Utilita Arena hums with anticipation, helped along by two support sets that couldn’t be more different in approach, yet together prime the crowd perfectly for the scale of what follows.
Lambrini Girls – Electric Bristol
Electric Bristol has hosted some lively nights, but Lambrini Girls took things to a different level entirely. Arriving to a room already heaving wall-to-wall, they hit the stage like a detonation, launching straight into a blistering opening run that immediately sent the crowd into motion.
Wet Leg – Bristol Beacon
Despite the truly horrendous weather hammering Bristol all evening, the sold-out crowd at Bristol Beacon packed the venue to the rafters for Wet Leg’s return to the city. Any damp spirits were immediately lifted by support act Faux Real, whose playful, off-kilter performance brought exactly the kind of eccentric energy a night like this thrives on. Their choreographed art-pop set was clever, funny and unexpectedly tight - the ideal warm-up for what was to come.
Mac DeMarco – The Prospect Building, Bristol
On a bleak, rain-lashed Thursday night in Bristol, you’d think enthusiasm might dip — but not for Mac DeMarco. Hours before doors opened, a patient line of fans stretched around The Prospect Building, huddled under umbrellas and fully committed. It set the tone for a sold-out show that felt equal parts warm, communal, and joyfully loose.
