Mouth Culture, 2000trees LIVE REVIEW: Just in case you weren’t already aware, Mouth Culture are the real deal. With every milestone they are approaching at present, they are shattering it with utmost gusto, and this, their first main stage festival appearance, is a pretty significant one to add to the cabinet. And with this much swagger and smoothness at their disposal, they make light work of making this latest big moment their absolute own. ‘Everyday’ continues to be one of the best alt-rock ballads dispensed in recent times, whilst their latest slice of spiky pop-punk ‘On and On’ feels even more iron clad with every showing it has. Add a smattering of scene-stealing staples ‘15 Missed Calls’ and ‘Sharkbait’ and you have a set that is as personal, compelling and irresistibly catchy as it gets. The thing that truly sets the band apart, though, is just how at home they look in spaces such as this. Never allowing the size of the occasion to dwarf them, but instead approaching it with the sort of effervescent joy and unbridled cool of a band who know who they are and what they want to achieve. It’s been a big Summer for Mouth Culture, but if they keep on absolutely nailing it in this manner, the next is going to be even bigger. ✏️ Jack Rogers 📷Jez Pennington

Funeral For A Friend, 2000trees Festival LIVE REVIEW: The fact that a Funeral For A Friend show has become such an anticipated event is incredibly wonderful. Coming back together whenever the time is right, and making sure what they are doing has a special reverence, this headline slot at 2000trees is just nine days shy of it being a year since their last show, that being at Cardiff Castle. And based on the roar of the crowd as 'All The Rage' kicks into life, it's a very welcome and long-awaited appearance indeed. What follows is a pitch-perfect and powerful showcase of some of the finest songs to come out of the British alternative scene this millennium. From an impassioned 'Streetcar' to a bludgeoning 'Bullet Theory', a buoyant 'Into Oblivion (Reunion)' to a vibrant 'Juneau' (with a special guest appearance from Neck Deep's Ben Barlow), it is a smorgasbord of influential and intense epics, sending the thousands in attendance into timeless raptures. With this being the third festival season that he has fronted the ensemble, Lucas Woodland really has never felt more at home within these melodies, the smile plastered across his face throughout a surefire sign that the novelty of being in this position hasn't even started to wane. And his enthusiasm and energy are clearly infectious, as the whole band push themselves to their absolute limit, losing themselves in their creations like it's 2003 all over again. And that sentimental value of that comes to a head during the closing gambit of 'Escape Artists Never Die', as Lucas bellows his last melody and leaves the stage to let the five remaining members bring it home, completely in tune with each other, musically and emotionally. Knowing that these best friends can still send shockwaves through a crowd with their music is something to be treasured. And if their current set-up means that we get at least one FFAF show every Summer for the foreseeable future, then the world will also feel that little bit brighter. ✏️ Jack Rogers 📷 Mac Praed

Ankor, Download Festival 2026 LIVE REVIEW: It’s been 23 years since the foundations of Ankor were first laid in a small village near Barcelona, but over the last 5 years, their growth has accelerated rapidly. Transforming the Dogtooth Stage’s crowd into a raucous flurry of energy and ridiculous dance moves, the earworm electronic pulse of ‘Darkbeat’ and ‘Embers’ gets the blood pumping nicely before the vicious onslaught of ‘Venom’ drops us headfirst into the heaviest depths of the band’s sound, vocalist Jessie Williams darting from skin-prickling death growls to heavenly cleans. The crowd grows with every song as those wandering past find themselves sucked in by the chaos, and by the time the crushing notes of ‘Prisoner’ are filling the tent, the circle pits are swirling faster than ever. “They were unreal” and “I can’t believe I’ve never heard that before” are just a couple of the choice comments overheard once they're done and the dust has settled, phones whipped out to make a note of the name. And that is very much what Download is all about. 📸 Carla Mundy 🖊️ Maddy Howell
