LIVE REVIEW + PHOTOS: OF MICE & MEN AT ELECTRIC BALLROOM, LONDON 11/12/25 (+ GORE., GHØSTKID)

The atmosphere at the Electric Ballroom on Thursday, December 11, 2025, was absolutely dialled up from the moment the doors opened. With Of Mice & Men headlining, you knew you were in for veteran-level aggression, but the support acts turned it into an event. Gore. hit the stage first with a look into the future and a clear statement that female-fronted metalcore is just vital right now. Then GHØSTKID dragged us straight into this theatrical, industrial fever dream. By the time OM&M took over, the whole place was already cooked. This three-band punch wasn't just strong; it was a loud, aggressive reminder that heavy music is more intelligent, tougher, and more resilient than anyone gives it credit for.
