The Lemon Twigs – Manchester Academy 2
We’re nearing the end of possibly the warmest week of the year in Manchester as everyone makes their way into Academy 2. There are collective sighs of relief as we reach the cool venue, in a matter of hours this room shifts to a packed-out crowd that are dancing, singing and toe-tapping along to every word as we celebrate the band's new album and their eighth time in Manchester.
Take That – St Mary’s Stadium Southampton

Arkayla – Camden Assembly
On the hottest day of the year so far, Camden is only just waking up for the night. The streets hum with the usual Friday-night energy and I weave my way through the packed pavements towards the iconic Camden Assembly. Tonight, all roads lead to one thing, Arkayla’s London show.

The Clause – hmv Empire, Coventry
Good things come to those who wait” is a saying almost synonymous with artists who have had to remain patient for their moment in the spotlight. For Birmingham indie-rock band The Clause, they’ve had to wait more than a decade for their moment to be flying high in the sunshine. Their long awaited debut album ‘Victim of a Casual Thing’, released in October last year to commercial fanfare, earning a UK Top 20 and the Number 1 Independent Album in the UK. That’s right, these boys have had to do it all on their own, which in itself is a mightily impressive feat.
5 Seconds of Summer – O2 Arena
It’s hard to believe that 5 Seconds of Summer are now 15 years into their musical journey, but fresh from last year’s new album EVERYONE’S A STAR! they are, sonically, at their peak. Their return to what lead singer Luke Hemmings called their “second home”, London, on Thursday night marked a phenomenal balance of musical maturity and the same boyish bravado that earned them their fame in the first place. It was chaos, it was hilarious, it was a journey through their career with all the self-deprecation and fan service you couldn’t help but love.
