Gigs ‘25

[Swansea93]

Both Green Day and Korn were outstanding. I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed Korn as they’ve mostly passed me by before. Sleep Token were fine but suffered in comparison to the other two headliners. I get that mystique is their gimmick but I’m not sure headlining festivals is for them given that they don’t interact at all. A lot of the crowd drifted away through their set.

Further down, Shinedown are a particular favourite of mine so I loved seeing them. Also very much enjoyed Within Temptation, Airborne, Bullet (shame it was the exact same set I saw them play in January), Sim, Crossfaith, Jinjer, Bleed from Within. Bastardane in either Dogtooth or Avalanche were a pleasant surprise too.

I Wasn’t a HUGE fan of Shinedown beforehand but I liked a few songs, but that set was incredible from them their setlist and stage production was top class, will definitely go to their next UK show.

The singer was talking on Planet Rock about a co headline arena tour either later this year or early next.

Interesting, instantly thought Alter Bridge or Black Stone Cherry but remembered they’ve done that already, could be Creed making a return to UK.
