Wilderness Festival 02/08/26 – Annie Lennox and The Last Dinner Party
If you ask Google which is the poshest festival in the UK, it will come up with Wilderness Festival. Held annually at Cornbury Park Estate, Oxfordshire. I didn’t know this when I booked my ticket. I just had to see Annie Lennox. I’d missed out on tickets for her 2025 show at the Royal Albert…

System of a Down – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – 13/07/26
This was a massive gig for me, and for so many other metal fans. SOAD haven’t performed in the UK for a decade, and after reading how much Serj Tankian struggles with touring in his autobiography, Down with the System, I’m not sure they will again. I had a VIP ticket. That sentence is huge,…

Rachel Chinouriri, Lykke Li, The Last Dinner Party & Wolf Alice – Finsbury Park 05/07/2026
This past Sunday, I adorned as much SPF as possible and made my way to Finsbury Park for the last day of Festival Republic. I decided not to go for the 12pm start. The 30c weather doesn’t agree with me on a good day, and I only really wanted to see Rachel Chinouriri, The Last…

Lily Allen – West End Girl London Palladium 22/03/26
Princess Diana, Lily Allen, and I all share a common experience: men have cheated on us. Lily Allen took the world by storm last year when she released West End Girl, recounting the breakdown of her marriage with actor David Harbour. Off the back of this success, Allen has embarked on a UK tour. I…

Peter Capaldi – 100 Club 08/03/26
Producer, actor, rockstar. Embarking on his first tour with a rock band, Peter Capaldi is a testament that it’s never too late to follow your dreams. Dubbing it his ‘Farewell Tour’ due to his age and ‘dicky heart’, he took to the intimate stage of Oxford Street’s legendary 100 Club with the vigour of a…
