After its London debut last year, Midnight Runway returned with a new season titled Disrupt, a bold reimagining of the spirit of London’s punk subculture. But this wasn’t the kind of show where you quietly take your seat and politely clap. Midnight Runway feels more like stepping into a secret — one you don’t want to leave.

Having never listened to Holly Humberstone before, I did not really know what the vibe of the night would be like, nor did I know if I would actually like the music; it’s safe to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. I particularly resonated with the song ‘Beauty Pageant’, an unreleased song about the experience of being a woman in the music industry, and in the world in general.

On March 26, Paris Paloma performed a special charity show celebrating Planet Earth, with 100% of ticket sales donated to EarthPercent, the music industry’s climate and nature foundation supporting vital environmental projects worldwide.

As part of their first concert series of 2026, Scottish indie rock band The Snuts travelled down to Oxford for a sold-out gig at the O2 Academy. The occasion for this spring tour is to plug the band’s new single, Summer Rain, in anticipation of their upcoming fourth album, hopefully to be released later this year. The album will tackle more personal themes, which is why I think the band has connected so deeply with fans on this tour.

At Servant Jazz Quarters—a venue that feels more like someone’s living room than a stage for a rising star—Ava Joe played her first headline show in over a year. No theatrics, no distance. Just closeness. The kind that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled into a secret.

Cambridge-born indie artist Cavetown delivered a heartfelt, long-awaited headline set, finally taking to the Electric Ballroom stage after a pandemic delay, reflecting that once he finally played the room “the world would be more ‘normal’”. Opening with ‘Skip’ and ‘Cryptid’, both from his recent album ‘Running With Scissors’, he immediately drew fans in, as every soft lyric and swelling chorus met with unwavering devotion.
