Their UK/European tour kicked off just a week earlier, and The Plot In You delivered an absolute hell of a performance at O2 Forum Kentish Town. From the very first moment, the energy in the room was on fire. The stage seemed to be waiting for nothing but to be taken over for an hour and a half of music that would make us disconnect from reality entirely.
The Plot In You – Currents – Saosin – Cane Hill
O2 Forum Kentish Town – 6 November 2025
Words: Carol Giannattasio
The last time I saw The Plot In You was a year ago at the Electric Ballroom in Camden Town. Back then, it was my first time seeing them live. But friends, for those reading this, this time, it was even more intense, chaotic and unforgettable.
This show had no collapsing tents, just a bigger stage and a single white spotlight on Landon as he unleashed a perfect, long scream of “Bring Me To!” The opening of Don’t Look Away, once again, for me, is the perfect way to start the show.
Divide and Pretend followed in a setlist full of highs, while The One You Loved and Face Me were some of my personal favourites. Face Me, one of my go-to songs from the album Swan Song, always hits differently live.
Slow to start, the build with powerful riffs, alternating screams and melodies, before exploding into a breakdown, hits you in a completely new way. Easily one of my favourite moments at any The Plot In You show.
Then came Forgotten, and the impact was unreal, not just on me but on the entire venue. I have seen this song live twice, but this time the floor shook and the crowd’s voices nearly drowned out Landon during the bridge, screaming every word with full force.
There is something about that bridge. It hits differently for everyone, but it always leaves a mark.
The setlist was similar to Camden Town, but Landon was different. His vocals felt cleaner, more precise, and his dirty, raw screams just brought pure chills.
Silence, their latest release, was a fresh addition, giving another vibe to the already amazing set.
At one point, Landon sat on a chair with an acoustic guitar, a small chandelier casting soft light beside him. He sang the opening lines with incredible delicacy, and the pit audience sat on the floor, swaying, hugging and joining in the intimate moment.
Then, just as the emotion peaked, the song kicked in full force again: Landon’s powerful voice backed by rough riffs and heavy drums, reminding everyone why this band is so unforgettable live.
The band continued to deliver ‘old’ but newer songs like Spare Me, Closure, and Left Behind. I could not hold back my tears. The depth and emotion of these songs is overwhelming.
But they also reached back into the past. Time Changes Everything, from their 2015 album Happiness In Self-Destruction, turned the room into absolute chaos, with crowd surfing all around, prompted by Landon’s question: “Who here has never crowd surfed?”
According to their latest Instagram post, there were 575 crowd surfers just in London.
Of course, Feel Nothing closed the set, leaving an emptiness of the kind that comes after a truly insane night.
I am so grateful to have seen The Plot In You again, this time in a bigger venue, and I cannot wait to see how high they go from here.
For now, we follow the rest of their tour and hope to catch them live again soon.
Cane Hill
The night opened in a nervous kind of silence, like the air already knows what is about to happen. Cane Hill hit the stage with no introductions, and as soon as Power Of The High kicks in, the room explodes into emotional combustion.
Sharp guitars, crushing drums and a dragging bass pull you straight into their storm. The venue turns into pure chaos, the crowd never stops moving, not even for a heartbeat. And what drives that madness even harder is Elijah’s voice: sharp, raw, and full of rage, making you lose every bit of control.
Theres a fine line between precision and chaos, and Cane Hill walk it perfectly. They play with absolute knowledge, but still leave room for that touch of unpredictability, that controlled disorder that makes a live show truly alive.
Finding Euphoria and Drowning Therapy are two of my personal favourites, and hearing them live was something else. Watching the crowd during those songs was like witnessing a human earthquake, bodies flying, pits opening everywhere, and this was only the first band of the night.
I had heard stories about Cane Hill’s wild shows, but I did not expect this level of raw energy right from the opening. They kept that brutal rhythm from start to finish, delivering a short but insanely intense set that left no one standing still.
Saosin
Saosin step on stage with no big announcement. The lights stay low, the crowd holds its breath, then the drums hit, sharp and dry, followed by the guitar cutting in with raw aggression.
The singer Cove Reber appears, powerful and confident, opening with Sleepers. His voice slices through the air and the whole room lights up instantly.
No fancy set design, no effects, just warm lights wrapping the stage in a simple yet intimate glow. Saosin do not need anything extra. Their presence alone fills the room. The band keeps a strong connection with the crowd, sharing that they are almost done recording their new album, a moment that sends the audience into a wild cheer.
When You’re Not Alone starts, the venue turns into a sea of phone lights, everyone singing along, united in a kind of collective embrace. They close with Seven Years, and the reaction is massive: one voice, one chorus, echoing back at the band with all the emotion of the night.
Currents
Currents are the third and final opening band of the night, and they left an unforgettable mark before The Plot In You took the stage. It was my second time seeing them live, and this time they felt sharper, heavier and more precise.
Currents are the perfect example of how a band can be technically flawless without losing its soul. Living In Tragedy, Remember Me, and The Death We Seek turned the pit into pure fire. Vocalist Brian’s range is stunning. He moves from deep, guttural screams to clean, almost angelic melodies with effortless control. Every note feels like it is sung straight from his core.
Their set was a mix of adrenaline and introspection, keeping the energy alive from start to finish. The crowd showed no signs of slowing down with circle pits, crowd surfers, and everyone completely lost in the moment.
During the more melodic passages, Currents managed to create this strange, beautiful calm, and that is what sets them apart. They are not just heavy, they are emotionally intelligent, too.
When Better Days came on, Brian announced it would be their last song. The crowd clearly was not ready to let them go. But it was time to breathe for a second and to pull themselves together before the moment everyone had been waiting for.
