Fri 10 Feb – Brand New, I Am The Avalanche, The Xcerts
It's been a fair while since Brand New last graced our shores, with their last show being a one-off performance at Wembley Arena in 2010. Now back on an eight-date UK tour, the band don't have a new album to support; they're just here for the fans. The Guildhall seemed like the perfect venue for Brand New, it was large enough so that enough fans could enjoy the sold-out show without it feeling overbearing.
The band played a career-spanning set list that took songs from every corner of their discography. Brand New have always enjoyed having an avid fan-base in the UK and it's obvious that tonight that they're totally humbled by that. "You always make us feel so at home over here, England." Frontman Jesse Lacey said to the admiring crowd, "It's quite strange and wonderful". Brand New were in high spirits, and their performance tonight showed it marvellously.
