Dogstar are opening up their All In Now Tour in Dublin’s 3Olympia and the LA Alt Rock trio couldn’t have chosen a better place to have done it.

By the time anyone got near The Salt Shed on June 3, Chicago had already started playing opening act. Not music. Something uglier. Traffic. Construction. Parking lots packed tight enough to feel personal.

A Perfect Circle had not graced British stages in eight years. two consecutive nights at Brixton on the 3rd and 4th of June — marked the opening salvo of the band's first UK and European tour since 2018, when they had supported their fourth album Eat the Elephant.

When this show got announced it put a broad smile on my face, getting to see this trio again in Dublin was going to be an absolute joy, and that’s exactly what it turned out to be.

Beth Hart appeared at Oxford’s New Theatre on June 4th (a rescheduled date from the earlier UK tour), supported by Wille and the Bandits. 

In a world of constant turmoil and unrest, we naturally radiate towards familiarity, comfort, and warm memories. It’s no wonder then, that there are 400 souls crammed into this converted 19th century church on a windy Friday evening.

Review and Photography: Stephen Brophy for MPM Forty years of any band is something to celebrate and the Pixies are currently out doing just that. When you have the influence they have over their career and a catalog with the depth of theirs it’s always interesting on what’s going to make it to the set. Was also going to be …

What do ‘Fish n Chips’, ‘Bangers n Mash’ and ‘Sunday Roasts’ all have in common? Bear with me on this one, it isn’t what you think. Agreed, they are types of English classic cuisine, but they’re also the chants of 1800 sweaty rockers at a sweltering Saturday night at Bournemouth’s O2 Academy.

As we make our way into Belfast on a warm Thursday evening, it’s been a crazy week of gigs. The festival season is on in Europe so a lot of bands are coming to the Emerald Isle.

The day we have all been waiting for has finally arrived!! The mini bus is packed with impassioned fans and the atmosphere is charged as we motor towards the big smoke via Donegal and Derry.

31 years after they split up, and mere weeks after their first gig since 1994, the actual legendary Sugar hit Belfast’s Ulster Hall during a mini heatwave.

Milwaukee knows how to host a loud night, but on May 18, 2026, the Eagles Ballroom inside The Rave/Eagles Club felt less like a venue and more like a living thing: buzzing hallways, sticky floors, bass rattling through old plaster walls, strangers grinning at each other before the lights even dropped.

By the time Sepultura took the stage, Ramova felt used up in the best possible way. The air had thickened. Shirts clung. The floor had that post-pit gloss, beer and sweat turning the venue into a human oil slick. But the room was not tired. It was ready.

The haunting eastern tinged intro of Mandylion heralds the arrival of Dutch legends The Gathering to the stage for the first night proper of the Mandylion Anniversary 2026 tour in the magnificent surroundings of the Shepherds Bush Empire, London.

Milwaukee got a strange kind of memory on May 15—one delivered through blast beats, Viking steel, cartoon apocalypse, and enough artificial smoke to bring the night to a very real end.

For one night in Rosemont, Illinois, the calendar flipped backward four decades. Denim jackets came out of closets. Vintage tour shirts reappeared like treasured relics.
