My Bloody Valentine at the Royal Albert Hall

My Bloody Valentine

Chvrches 

Royal Albert Hall, 27 March 2026

I never expected to see My Bloody Valentine again, let alone at London's most grand and iconic venues, the Royal Albert Hall, but after reuniting last year to play some shows (I didn't fancy seeing them at Wembley Arena though), I jumped on the chance to see them as part of this year's Teenage Cancer Trust line-up, this time curated by Robert Smith of The Cure after Roger Daltrey stepped down two years ago.

Thurston Moore at Oslo Hackney

The Thurston Moore Group

Big Joanie

Oslo Hackney, 13 September 2025

This gig may well have spoiled every future gig for me now, because not only did I get to witness the genius that is Thurston Moore up close and have his brilliant and thunderous music fill my lucky ears, but I also got to pet his gorgeous dogs, as he brought them out on stage to show us! Amazing music and cute dogs too? It really doesn't get better than that.
