RØRY | O2 FORUM KENTISH TOWN, LONDON | 06 MARCH

NEW!

London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town was flooded with a diverse crowd of rock enthusiasts, raring up for a memorable evening that was about to unfold. A solid lineup of artists and bands prepared to take the stage ahead of the main act RØRY.

There was a sense of female power in the air as RØRY emerged onto the stage from the shadows and opened up the sold-out show with “In The Bible“, under loud cheers and deafening applause that resonated from every corner of the room. It is worth noting that her set was mostly supported by a lineup of non-male vocalists, well in tune with the headliner’s empowering tour de force that was about to unfold. She then launched in to “if pain could talk, what would I say?” followed by “UNCOMPLICATED”, with the same energy and passion in front of church windows as stage backdrop.

Before stepping into the spotlight with her own voice, the self-proclaimed sadcore singer honed her composing craft by writing for major artists such as Charli XCX, You Me at Six and All-American Rejects, cementing herself as a talented songwriter in the music scene which she easily translated into her own solo project.

SET IT OFF | ELECTRIC BALLROOM, LONDON | 01 MARCH

Bursting out onto the stage and straight into the highly popular “Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing (Reborn)” Set It Off were all smiles and unwavering bouncy energy as the crowd sang along to the lyrics. It’s been a couple of years since we have seen the Florida trio on a London stage, in fact their last headlining performance was in November 2022 so the excitement was palpable as the band made their way into the set.

Without failing to sell out tonight’s date, vocalist Cody Carson, guitarist Zach DeWall, drummer Maxx Danzige and touring guitarist/bassist Robert Joffred stormed through a set of rocky and bouncy tracks, delivering on all points. Set It Off’s 15-song set encompassed their 17 years long career, showcasing their versatility and talent. Backdropped by a giant Set It Off flag, they played a mix of their discography, including the songs “The Haunting” and “N.M.E” from their 2014 album, Duality, “Hypnotised” from their 2016’s Upside Down which prompted a massive singalong from the audience, whilst also incorporating newer tracks such as “Parasite” and “Win Win”, both released in 2023. “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead” from their 2012 Cinematics gave the opportunity for the vocalist and drummer to switch places, giving Maxx the front centre stage and displaying the band’s skills as multitalented performers.
