LIVE REVIEW + PHOTOS: BILMURI AT THE O2 FORUM KENTISH TOWN, LONDON 01/04/25 (+ SOUTH ARCADE)
On the last night of his European leg of the Motor Tour, the Kentish Town Forum lit up with excitement as Bilmuri (Johnny Franck) graced the stage, enthusiasm at a maximum right from the top of the set.
Bilmuri is the epitome of 'Y'allternative'- not so much a genre of music, more a Midwest emo state of mind. The night began with 'EMPTYHANDED' from Bilmuri's latest of many albums; 'AMERICAN MOTOR SPORTS'. (You'd better get used to these capital letter titles). The song introduced perfectly the mood of the night; a funky, punchy country-fest.

On March 25th 2025, Morgan Wade took the stage at the O2 Forum Kentish Town for a special acoustic show. The moment she walked out, the crowd knew they were in for something special. With just her voice, a guitar, and raw emotion, she created an unforgettable night of music. The O2 Forum Kentish Town was the perfect spot for this kind of performance. It’s big enough to hold a crowd, but small enough to feel personal. The stripped-down setup gave the night a relaxed vibe, making it feel like a private session rather than a big concert.
