IDLES - Queen Square, Bristol (Friday 1st August 2025)
JUST BRILLIANT !
Amazing performance. Loved the whole thing.

MCFLY - Dreamland, Margate (Friday 1st August 2025)
GREAT NIGHT, GREAT BAND
McFly have always come across as a fun, upbeat band and they do not disappoint when performing live.
Dougie's boundless energy, Tom's singing and musicianship, Danny's front manship all orchestrated by the cool Harry on drums is a near perfect combination.
The interaction with the crowd builds a great connection and everyone feels involved.
My knees are aching the morning after from 90 minutes of bouncing!! Great band, great concert👌

TEXAS - Sandown Park Racecourse, Esher (Thursday 7th August 2025)
TIMELESS LIVE PERFORMANCE
A typical well oiled band pumping out timeless classic hits.
The band were a tight unit with Sharlene commanding proceedings with great vocals and massive stage presence.
Well worth going to see if you get the chance.

GORILLAZ: HOUSE OF KONG EXHIBITION - Copper Box, London (Wednesday 27th August 2025)
FULLY IMMERSIVE IN THE HOUSE OF KONG
This exhibition really brings the story of the Gorillaz and the creators, Damon Alban and Jamie Hewlett, literally to life.
It was a feast for all senses.
I have loved Gorillaz since they first came out, but never appreciated the creative and bonkers process of creating this band, so there was so much to learn and explore.
Wish I could do it all again to take in more detail second time around.

GLOWORM FESTIVAL 2025 - Thoresby Park, Nottingham (Friday 8th - Sunday 10th August 2025)
WE HAD THE BEST DAY!
It was our first time at Gloworm Festival and we had the absolute best day!
There's so much to do, from music and live entertainment to meeting your favorite TV characters like Hey Dugee and Bing.
We spent a lot of time by the brook and trying the nature activities which was lovely too.
There is so much choice in terms of food stalls, we really enjoyed the whole experience.
We would thoroughly recommend the festival and we will be back!

THE DUALERS - The Picturedrome, Holmfirth (Saturday 9th August 2025)
GREAT BAND AND A TERRIFIC PERFORMANCE AS ALWAYS
We booked to see The Dualers in Holmfirth.
The band were superb as usual.
The support were also very good and added to the atmosphere in a brilliant venue.

HERITAGE LIVE FESTIVALS 2025 - PET SHOP BOYS - Royal Sandringham Estate, King's Lynn (Thursday 14th August 2025)
AMAZING DAY
I had always wanted to see The Pet Shop Boys and Scissor Sisters in concert, and what a great opportunity.
The weather couldn't have been better, the venue at Sandringham was perfect, and both bands, as well as the warm up DJ, Dave Pearce exceeded all expectations.
Honestly, I had the best day ever, it was up there with the best.
Thank you to Heritage for organising such a great event.
Really appreciate all the work you put into this.
