LIVE REVIEW + PHOTOS: BREAKING BENJAMIN AT THE O2 ACADEMY BRIXTON, LONDON 17/07/26

There is a specific kind of magic that occurs when a foundational 2000s post-grunge powerhouse collides with a classic British summer heatwave. Inside the O2 Academy Brixton the atmosphere was electric, the air conditioning was seemingly non-existent, and the energy was delightfully old-school. For the final stop of their EU/UK tour, Breaking Benjamin brought a masterclass in nostalgic intensity, a touch of family business, and a whole lot of sweat.
