Alex Reviews Gigs

@wolfalicetour I love my mirror ball angle which captures the band just beyond it and the organ looming in the background!

perhaps the most insane photo i've ever taken

Westside Cowboy tickets successfully acquired for their autumn tour ☺️ And if you still haven't saddled up and caught them live here's my review from their mini tour at the start of the year alexreviewsgigs.com/2026/02/08/wes…

@weareswimschool Hope you've all had a fantastic time - Stockholm has definitely gone down as one of my most fun and memorable concerts! All the feedback I've seen from Suede fans has been overwhelmingly positive so make sure to get some more live dates announced soon!

4 week European tour - done.

@mikewichter Absolutely! I can't express how good a show it was and how they rose to the occasion and put on something extra special for such a momentous evening

Gotta see them at some point.

Wow! @wolfalicemusic are in that phase where even if they tried to I don't think they could put a foot wrong. Hits, rarities, moments of pure joy and moments of emotion... An utterly phenomenal show to finish off 2026's @TeenageCancer Trust's week of concerts #WolfAlice

All good things eventually must come to an end which sadly also applies to this year's @TeenageCancer Trust shows, but tonight we're finishing with one heck of a bang! @wolfalicemusic make their Royal Albert Hall debut in what promises to be a very special evening indeed.

All kneel as the Royal Albert Hall has a new Queen! Not just a masterclass from Shirley Manson leading @garbage through an evening of incredible rock anthems but using the stage to stand up for all the right causes. Another epic night as part of @TeenageCancer Trust week

@weareswimschool @suedeHQ Did this really happen....

I love @suedeHQ so much, might have to jump on stage with them tonight…

Placebo return with their first live show in over two years! Whilst Brain Molko's distinctive voice remains as mesmeric as ever the stripped back show didn't fully ignite until the latter stages of the performance.

Night two out of three at the Royal Albert Hall and somehow I've ended up with seats three away from where I was for the Manics on Thursday. Ready for a night of double fun headlined by @garbage with support by @PLACEBOWORLD, the later somehow being my first time seeing them live

Live Review: #ManicStreetPreachers - The Royal Albert Hall (26/3/26) A glorious evening at the Royal Albert Hall as the @Manics add another landmark show into their extensive legacy. alexreviewsgigs.com/2026/03/28/man…

@_happycactus When I first put it together about a decade ago it was a lot of work to pull together, now it's pretty easy to and fun to update each tour. And fingers crossed there'll be plenty of reasons to update it in the future

@AlexReviewsGigs This is an awesome idea! I need to see if I can do something similar. Might take a while going back to 97b

With my thirty fourth Manics show attended I thought it was worth updating my songs viewed spreadsheet. With only one new addition I'm now upto 139 songs in total, but good to see several songs making a comeback after long term absences from the set. #ManicStreetPreachers

@FDForum @NME @Manics Do we know if the reviewer was actually there or did they base the review pretty much entirely on what setlist.fm listed for the show?

📰| REVIEW: Manic Street Preachers - London Royal Albert Hall 26/03/2026 By Liberty Dunworth, @NME #ManicStreetPreachers | @Manics nme.com/news/music/wat…

Powerful and sublime... Not to mention what one is very few performances in the Royal Albert Hall's history to feature a musical saw! Fantastic set from The @joyformidable to start tonight's @TeenageCancer Trust show. #TheJoyFormidable

Breath taking show from the @Manics at the Royal Albert Hall, throwing in hits and rarities from the course of their career. Moments of brilliance, moments of poignancy and a rare performance of Condemned to Rock n Roll to cap a fantastic evening. #ManicStreetPreachers

I've seen the @manics in twenty seven different venues over the past thirty years, but none of them compare to this. At the Royal Albert Hall for @TeenageCancer Trust... I've got a feeling A Design For Life is going to sound utterly perfect in here later #ManicStreetPreachers

@rachelastica I've been at small gigs in the past where I've been within touching distance of the set lists laid out on stage before the band appeared. I've always wondered what would happen if I grabbed it and wrote on an extra song before returning it to the stage...

Elephant Man is not on the setlist

A slightly frustrating evening with Paul Draper at Leeds Brudenell. Whilst the Mansun classics retained some of the magic, the promised set of all fourteen of his ex-band's hits shrank to a meagre eleven with a needless twenty minute intermission and recorded for a live album.

Last minute gig ticket buying decision made so it's a Thursday night at the Brudenell with @PaulDraper. Attack of the Grey Lantern was one of my teenage self's favourite albums so looking forward to seeing Mansun's greatest hits performed tonight.
