Gig Review: Poppy Delivers A Dark And Wild Night At Camden’s Roundhouse, with a chaotic, theatrical set packed with Metalcore energy and crowd mayhem.

Though the night ends within a Cathedral, Saturday at Download Festival is unholy in the gritty metal glory it brings.

Babymetal brought their genre-bending Kawaii Metal spectacle to The O2 Arena, joined by rising stars Bambie Thug and Poppy for a night that challenged and redefined heavy music. From explosive visuals to genre-defying performances, this was a show no Metal fan will soon forget.

Smashing Pumpkins, Our Lady Peace, Poppy - Scotiabank Arena. 24 October 2022. A truly magnificent and majestic performance for the ages that I didn't see coming. @ smashingpumpkins Photo: @melaniewebsterphotography Words: @mathematicaljester
