The cynics amongst us might lament about declining ticket sales and occasional venue downgrades, but something key is changing in booking trends, and for fans looking for value for money from their ticket price and precious week-night evenings, it's nothing but good news. Fit For a King brought the value for money with a trio of heavy hitters for the Lonely God tour. On the final night of the UK leg, the Electric Ballroom in Camden was packed to the rafters right from the relatively early doors.

With a curated and fan-focused setlist and striking visuals combined with their genre-bending allure, The Waterparks Show, as it was affectionately dubbed, was undoubtedly an experience that would be hard to forget for those in attendance.

The multi-million streaming, UK-based collective known as PRESIDENT continues to thrive at the unique crossroads of heavy music, electronic experimentation, and cinematic atmosphere. Since launching in 2025, the group has operated under a deliberate cloak of minimalism and anonymity, steadily cultivating a sense of deep intrigue with every single release and live appearance. By refusing to conform to the traditional structures of genre or identity, the members of PRESIDENT have made it clear that they prioritize artistic intent far above public image.

Camden is the place to take in some of the best that the music scene has to offer, with everyone who's ever been anyone walking out on its many stages. This time it was the turn of Kate Nash who had a hungry audience of fans awaiting to consume her brilliance at The Roundhouse. The show itself was full of twists and turns, some expected, others not so much.
