LIVE REVIEW + PHOTOS: DON BROCO AT OVO ARENA WEMBLEY, LONDON 05/12/25
Don Broco are back, and in more ways than one. It's been almost 7 years since they last graced the stage of Wembley Arena. It's also been two years since they announced during their ‘Birthday Party’ tour that they were off to write an album. At the time they admitted they tend to take a bloody age to do that and fans have been waiting patiently since. With only a couple of outings for the band in the interim, this run of shows is where Broco burst back onto a scene that has been missing them all too acutely.
