Over the August Bank Holiday weekend, James took Spain by storm - first with a euphoric set at Sonorama Festival, then with their first-ever Alicante show. As part of the Noches Mágicas 2025 series, 3,000 fans filled Muelle 12 for a seaside celebration that embodied the band’s spirit and unofficial anthem, Getting Away With It.
Throwing Muses continued their second leg of the UK and European tour in support of their album Moonlight Concessions with a sold-out bank holiday show at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge to an appreciative audience where they defied the expectations of a band of their vintage.
As part of this year’s events at Colchester’s Lower Castle Park, Out of Time delivered a spectacular night of music, headlined by indie legends James. The bill also featured unforgettable support sets from The Lightning Seeds and Happy Mondays, making for an evening packed with iconic performances.
Lanterns On The Lake played only their second show of the year on Saturday night at La Belle Angele in Edinburgh as part of the venue's week of shows to coincide with the final week of the Edinburgh Fringe. Previewing four unreleased songs as well as favourites from across their career, they delighted an audience that stood and drank in the atmosphere created by one of the country's finest and most underrated bands.
John Bramwell made a nostalgic return to one of his old haunts The Night And Day Cafe in Manchester on Sunday night. The set though was far from a trip down memory, taking heavily from his two solo albums since leaving I Am Kloot with a few old favourites thrown in at the end as the crowd joined in to sing along and almost drown out one of the nation's finest songwriters and his exceptionally talented band.
