Following their tour opening shows in Limerick and Dublin, Ricky Warwick brings The Fighting Hearts to his beloved Belfast on a foggy and chilly Sunday evening.  Naturally a hometown gig demands the most passionate of audiences and there’s no lack of excitement in the room tonight.

Every once in a while you sleep on a band, or maybe it's just me, I remember hearing of Skindred when they first came out, I remember reading about them in Kerrang and then seeing them on Scuzz but I never gave them a proper chance and after the belter of a performance they put on I am really kicking myself, it's been a while since I've seen a band with such life, energy and just bring the party to the fans.

I got to Whelan’s early to claim a good spot that would allow me to capture some imagery as well, and the mood in the queue said a lot.

The first few days of November bring some of the heavy hitters of Nu Metal to Dublin, with Korn and Papa Roach playing successive nights in the 3 Arena.

Acclaimed Mongolian rock legends The HU took the stage at a UN event to celebrate the vital role of culture and artists in fostering global harmony, dialogue, and intercultural understanding.

There is something about a great rock concert that makes the day of the week irrelevant. Whether it is a Friday night or a Tuesday evening, the combination of crushing guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and a room filled with rock fans can turn an ordinary night into something memorable.

Twenty years after the release of one of their most influential albums, Skillet brought the Comatose 20 Years, Still Screaming Tour to Milwaukee's Landmark Credit Union Live on Saturday, October 17, 2026.

Some bands you grow out of. Some bands grow old with you. And then there are the Levellers, who somehow manage to do neither.

Last night, iconic British rockers Razorlight treated fans to a stripped-back gig at Camden's Barfly, marking 20 years to the month since their last performance at the venue in October 2006.

The greatest performer on Earth has traded in his straight jacket, swords and top hat for an audience with style show and it proves he does not need to be singing to hold a crowd in the palm of his hands.

There are certain venues where a show immediately feels like it belongs there. The Arcada Theatre is one of those places. It is old, ornate, slightly excessive, and completely unapologetic about its history, which makes it almost suspiciously well suited for a night built around two bands carrying a lot of heavy-metal history with them.

The calendar said October 9, but inside The Vixen in McHenry it felt like Halloween had shown up three weeks early, kicked open the door, and immediately started asking where the fog machine was.
