Tonight Alive is a young band with a highly professional sound. It’ll seem cliché to say that the female-fronted Sydney pop-punk group remind me of Paramore, but with songs as similar in sound and just as catchy it’s hard for me not to.

Welsh band The Blackout are ironically electric on stage. Their dual vocalist attack is infectious and halfway through their set the entire audience has caught their pop-hardcore disease. To see a crowd get down on their knees on the order of cheekily obnoxious singer Sean Smith isn’t something that you witness every day. They say that they’ll be back in July and I insist that you not miss them: when a band is this entertaining live it’s a sin against nature if you do.

Entering the stage with the swagger of a band who know how to headline a show, Lostprophets proceed to deliver chorus after anthemic chorus. Their sound has matured from metal to catchy rock and their songs mirror this. While classics like Burn Burn keep the older fans happy, Can’t Catch Tomorrow has newer fans entranced and energised. Their set is well worth the six-year wait to see these Welsh wonders back on our shores.
