Live Review

The first band on stage was Gideon from Alabama, opening with their track Bite Down from their 2019 album Out of Control as the room started to fill up. While many people were not familiar with the bands’ music, by the end of the set many people in the crowd were engaged and it’s clear they left the stage with a few more new fans.

Setlist:

Bite Down
Cursed
More Power More Pain
Champions
Too Much Is Never Enough
Take Me
Take Off
No Love/No One

Next up was the super high energy SeeYouSpaceCowboy, every moment of the set was nonstop. This was especially seen from vocalist Connie, who really made the stage her own. The band kept up their explosive energy till they left the stage.

Setlist:

Life as a Soap Opera Plot, 26 Years Running
The End to a Brief Moment of Lasting Intimacy
Armed With Their Teeth
With High Hopes and Clipped Wings
…And My Faded Reflection in Your Eyes
Misinterpreting Constellations
With Arms That Bind and Lips That Lock
Self Help Specialist Ends Own Life

Fit For A King were the last band to warm the crowd up before The Amity Affliction. It was clear the band had many fans excited to see them. The band have released two albums since their last shows in the UK, with the majority of their set being made of new material. Despite some technical difficulties, vocalist Ryan used the time to connect with the crowd and it clearly didn't phase any of the members when their set resumed.

Setlist:

The Hell We Create
Breaking the Mirror
Annihilation
End (The Other Side’
The Price of Agony
Locked (in my head)
The Path
Times Like This
When Everything Means Nothing
God of Fire

You could feel the pure excitement from the crowd as The Amity Affliction came on the stage, opening with their 2014 track Pittsburgh. The sound of the fans singing along to every track at times was close to drowning out the sound of the band. It’s very clear the band has built up a strong fanbase of people who really connect with their songs. The energy and passion from fans was easily mirrored back by the band, making for a show that people will remember for a long time.
