Best crowd, awesome bands and Polyphia is the best and I love it, always hyping up the crowd and every time its so fun to mosh and crowd surf and all the songs was just amazing.

Report as inappropriate

Fuckin awesome, I love the mosh pits and I love the band, the crowd was awesome. Just everything went well. Venue was small, but when they opened the room up and and cool air was coming was amazing feeling, and the cotton candy vape smell disappeared.

By far the best concert I have ever been to it was so dope and would go 1,000,000 times again. I would recommend their show to anyone. Tim is a fucking god Scottie is wild and Clay 1 and Clay 2 are equally praise worthy.

POLYPHIA In Concert, London May 11, 2023

POLYPHIA live at O2 Shepherds Bush Empire London 11th May 2023

Riffs over riffs and virtuoso guitarists. Is this Baroque or BaRock? A few minutes after 9pm, when the lights went down and the crowd was already shouting out its enthusiasm, 4 simple guys from Texas made their appearance on the stage of the O2 Shepherds Bush Empire in West London. It was finally time for Polyphia! The instrumental prog-rock band played their first of the 2 London shows as part of their long European Tour which will see them playing not only across the UK but also in other major cities like Berlin, Amsterdam, Milan, Paris (2 dates), Hamburg and many others (check out their official website for more info about their current tour).

I was really excited to see Polyphia for the first time live on stage after having listened to all their songs from their latest album “Remember That You Will Die”. I must admit that I’m not a huge fan of instrumental music, but the moment the band started their show with songs like Genesis, Neurotica, OD, Goose and 40oz, the immense connection between the band and the crowd was undeniable – something that went beyond their natural skills with the guitars. I really wasn’t sure what to expect from a Polyphia live show, but after roughly 1 hour and 30 minutes of guitar masterpieces, I had nothing but good feelings. Watching the crowd jumping, dancing and even humming (or singing!) to their songs was somehow something that I would have never thought could have happened tonight at the Shepherds Bush Empire. Undeniably, Polyphia made a great performance tonight and the question I had in my mind “how would the band sound with a vocalist?” finally found an answer: they are just perfect as they are!

The show continued with songs like Champagne, The Worst, Reverie and Playing God amongst others and then concluded with a super encore with G.O.A.T. , 96 Quite Bitter Beings (a CKY cover) and obviously with the masterpiece Euphoria. If you missed this show, or if for any obvious reasons one show wasn’t enough for you, don’t forget that Polyphia will play again in London on May 31st at the Shepherds Bush Empire before continuing their 2023 Tour which will see the band playing in Japan, Australia and many dates in the US.

Avenged Sevenfold announce European headline dates with ††† (Crosses), Polyphia

They’re over here for a whole bunch of summer festivals, but A7X have also just announced some European headline dates with support coming from ††† (Crosses) and Polyphia.

By our calculations, it’s been six years since Avenged Sevenfold last played their own headline show in Europe – but the Huntington Beach titans will be rectifying that this summer.

In support of 2023’s incredible Life Is But A Dream… album, the band will be crossing the pond to bring their latest chapter to fans for a whole bunch of massive European festivals ( including Download ), and they’ve also just announced several headline dates while they’re here.

A7X will be playing a couple of German gigs (in Hamburg and Dortmund) with support coming from ††† (Crosses) , and Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome with Polyphia . They’ll also headline St. Jakobshalle in Switzerland, though the support hasn’t yet been confirmed for that show.

Speaking about their return to the UK and headlining Download once again, guitarist Synyster Gates enthused: “We are super excited to be playing Download for the third time but as they say the third time is a charm, so hopefully we get it right this time! We appreciate everyone coming back and joining in the madness and the fun.”

Late last year, Avenged also revealed that they’d been working on another live show… but this one is going to be saved for virtual reality. The gig – which is going to be unveiled early this year – was described by the LA Times as ‘a cross between a music video, live concert and first-person video game’. Frontman M. Shadows told the publication: “There’s always a barrier between the audience and us. You want to make sure that, though there’s going to be a lot of cool stuff going on, the people can get really close to you… and see you sing and see the drums.”

Basically, it’s looking like we’re going to get a whole lot of Avenged this year!

Ahead of the band’s third headline performance at Download this weekend, and one year on from the release of brain-bending eighth album Life Is But A Dream…, M.

And having successfully found the freedom he’s always wanted for Avenged Sevenfold, he’s now focussed on showing other artists how they too can own their future…

Here’s the weather forecast for Download Festival 2024

Summer in England has barely even begun this year… and it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting any hot weather at Castle Donington over the weekend, either.
