Music Review: Motionless in White, Decades
There’s a lot that can be said about a band that’s been around for two decades. Motionless In White has been called many things over the years: some good, some bad, some ugly. But there’s one thing they can’t be called and that’s stagnant. The Scranton, PA metalcore group released their highly anticipated seventh studio album, aptly titled Decades, in celebration of the band’s 20 year anniversary.

Concert Review: Summer School Tour 2026 by idobi Radio Uptown Theatre, Minneapolis, MN
The Summer School Tour proved exactly why it's becoming a must-see summer event. With every band bringing their own personality and style to the stage, the night never felt repetitive. From discovering a new favorite in Lake Drive to witnessing the chaos of Winona Fighter and celebrating Honey Revenge's well-earned success, Minneapolis was treated to one heck of a show. When the final bell rang, fans left with sore feet, ringing ears, sweat- soaked shirts, and a few new favor

Concert Review: Lucy Dacus Brings Quiet Brilliance to MASS MoCA
MASS MoCA was the perfect backdrop for Dacus’s thoughtful songwriting and understated stage presence. Set within the sprawling campus of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, a former 19th-century textile and electronics manufacturing complex transformed into one of the country’s premier contemporary arts centers, the venue’s industrial brick buildings and open-air Courtyard D created an atmosphere that felt both intimate and expansive.

Concert Review: Tom Keifer Took the Clyde Theatre Once Around the Ride with LA Guns
Friday, July 24th - Fans did not just buy a ticket to a concert. They bought a ticket to 1987 full of hair and massive riffs! L.A. Guns and the Tom Keifer Band packed a production so massive it was a total assault on all senses to a sold-out crowd at the Clyde Theatre in Fort Wayne, IN that left you feeling like you were standing in the middle of Sunset strip blvd.

Concert Review: Social Distortion at the State Theater in Portland, ME
When the Born to Kill Tour was initially announced I was met with such mixed emotion. One one side I was so excited that one of my favorite bands was coming out with a new album and going on tour and then I was hit with a slight bit of disappointment and jealousness that there was not a stop scheduled anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. I let practicality and rational thought rule the day and just accepted the fact I wasn't going to see Social D this summer but then some crazy

Concert Review: Muse at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ
On July 22, 2026, Muse performed at PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey, as the tenth stop on The Wow! Signal Tour. Bloc Party and The Temper Trap opened the evening. The Wow! Signal, Muse's tenth studio album, stays true to many of the band's signature sounds and themes while introducing new material. The album's title references the famous "Wow!" signal, a mysterious 72-second radio signal detected on August 15, 1977.

Concert Review: Sublimefest at Zion Banks Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah
July 18th, 2026, Sublimefest took over Zion Banks Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah let's talk about it. So, this was actually the first concert held at Zion Banks Stadium which normally is home to Major League Soccer's Real Monarchs, but the stadium transitioned nicely to a music festival grounds. Just like the Portland Stop on the tour getting in and out was an absolute breeze and having plenty of onsite parking made this a super convenient stop.

Concert Review: Inaugural Minnesota Country Club Festival at Harriet Island Regional Park
While wandering around I actually ran into a couple members of night one's headliners, Treaty Oak Revival. I thought it was so cool that the headliners were there bright and early, wandering around and interacting with people. It was nice to have a little chat with the guys about the recent shows, and the boys were excited to only have one more show after Minnesota before they got to head home for a few days. These types of interactions with bands were pretty common all week

Concert Review: Levitate Festival
From July 18 to July 19, 2026, the community of Marshfield, Massachusetts, hosted the Levitate Music and Arts Festival. It was more than just a music festival; it was a celebration of community, creativity, and connection.

Concert Review: Upheaval Festival
The Midwest heat was relentless, but it never stood a chance against the energy pouring through Upheaval Festival on Day 1. From the second I walked through the gates with my camera in hand, it was clear this wasn't just another music festival it was a gathering of a community that lives and breathes heavy music.
My day started with Thousand Below, who wasted no time pulling the crowd into their emotionally charged sound. Their performance struck a balance between vulnerab

Concert Review: Six Feet Under w/ Kataklysm, Wormhole & Groaning Retch at The Space Ballroom – Hamden, Connecticut
Death metal fans packed The Space Ballroom in Hamden, Connecticut, on a hot Monday night for a lineup that showcased both legendary veterans and rising talent. Connecticut's own Groaning Retch kicked things off, followed by the technical brutality of Wormhole, the relentless force of Kataklysm, and a crushing headlining performance from Six Feet Under. From circle pits and synchronized headbanging to crowd chants echoing throughout the venue, the energy never let up.

Concert Review: Lewis Capaldi – BST Hyde Park, Hyde Park, London, UK
ewis Capaldi had the honour of closing BST Hyde Park 2026, with not just one but two incredible headline sets on the final two nights of the festival. Playing back-to-back nights on the Great Oak Stage, Capaldi stood in the footprints of many greats before him. The Rolling Stones, The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Elton John, and Lewis were very much deserving of this same accolade.

The opening act, Eastbound Jesus, set the tone with captivating melodies and an energetic stage presence, drawing the audience into a warm and intimate atmosphere.

Concert Review: Alex Warren Xfinity Mobile Arena
Over the weekend, singer-songwriter and TikTok star Alex Warren pulled into Philly’s Xfinity Mobile Arena with his “Finding Family on the Road Tour,” and to say there was anything “Ordinary” about it would be a lie.
I have been a fan of Warren’s since before I knew he was interested in being a musician through his work on TikTok. I remember seeing the first video where he was showing music he was working on, and I was both shocked and impressed—thinking and hoping he made

Concert Review: Summer School Tour Brings a New Generation of Alternative Music to Allentown
Some concerts feel like a night out. The Summer School Tour at Archer Music Hall on July 8 felt more like spending an afternoon discovering your next favorite band.
Despite the summer heat outside, fans started filling the venue early for a lineup that stretched across the evening. The show kicked off earlier than most, giving five bands plenty of time to introduce themselves to a crowd that leaned noticeably younger than the average concert crowd.

Concert Review: Keb Mo at Union Chapel, London
There's a particular kind of quiet that only certain rooms can hold, and Union Chapel in Islington is one of them. Stone, stained glass, wooden pews worn soft by decades of use as both a chapel and live events venue. On this merit alone it sounds sacred, so add Keb' Mo', a guitar and a harmonica and you know you’re in for something very special.

Concert Review: Counting Crows, State Fayre – Chelmsford
Twenty-six years ago, I fell in love with live music. It wasn’t my first concert, but I saw Counting Crows in Wolverhampton, and it blew my mind. The music was the music I had loved for years, and the crowd were bringing 110% like at any other concert, but this was different. Frontman Adam Duritz took to the stage at Wolverhampton Civic Hall and bared his poetic soul to all. Classic hits were amended to meet his feelings of the day; famous album tracks extended through musica

Concert Review: Rainbow Kitten Surprise - A Celebration of Resilience
Rainbow Kitten Surprise played at Vibrant Music Hall in Waukee, IA June 8th, 2026, to a packed house with no opener bringing a more intimate feel to a large venue. The first thing you need to know before you go see RKS is Ela's (lead singer) voice is somehow even better live. This is a band that brings true synergy and emotion to the stage. The relationship this band has with each other shines through their performance on stage.

Concert Review: Alana Springsteen at Òran Mór in Glasgow, Scotland
There's something special about seeing an artist on the rise in a venue as intimate as Òran Mór, and Alana Springsteen proved exactly why she's becoming one of country music's brightest young stars. Playing to a packed-out Glasgow crowd, she delivered a performance that felt personal, energetic and, at times, more like a celebration between friends than a concert.

Concert Review: KURO Turn Audio into Their Own Personal Playground in Glasgow, Scotland
There's something different about a hometown headline show. The anticipation feels greater, the atmosphere feels louder and every person in the room seems invested in seeing one of their own succeed. That was exactly the feeling inside Audio on Friday night as Glasgow's own KURO took to the stage for what would become one of those gigs that leaves everyone walking out with a smile on their face.
