by Val on 06/09/2025Rating: 5 out of 5Great band. Never been to see them before but will definitely book to see them again. O2 Ritz was a good venue. Don't think the drinks are expensive at all despite comments made in previous reviews.

Great band. Never been to see them before but will definitely book to see them again. O2 Ritz was a good venue. Don't think the drinks are expensive at all despite comments made in previous reviews.
4th time to see this amazing band. What a great show. Nonstop hits and a really fantastic sound. They also genuinely look like they are enjoying playing which the audience pick up on. Will be looking for a other tour date later this year.
What an incredible band and amazing night. Venue was great. Will defo being getting tickets to see them again. Drinks were very expensive at O2 Ritz, the only disappointing thing about the night.
