RADAR Festival 2023 – Victoria Warehouse Manchester: Live Review

RADAR Festival returns for its third iteration. This time, it’s moved north…to Manchester.

We take in KISS…just one more time. It’s the end of the road for the famous rockers and their last English show is in Manchester.

At The Barrier reports back from Beardy Folk Festival – another successful expedition to deepest Shropshire, beards optional.

Our man in a sleeping bag was there. Taking in the delights of Glastonbury Festival…an alternate take on the event around other stages.

Iron Maiden lay waste to Leeds on the ‘Future Past’ tour – utterly brilliant.

Pygmy Twylyte, the finest purveyors of the music of Frank Zappa, show why they are a class act on a rare trip to Manchester.

Business as usual with Peter Gabriel wrapping up his UK dates at Manchester Arena.

We spend a marvellous evening with the equally marvellous War On Drugs at the (marvellous) Piece Hall in Halifax.

We’re at the Piece Hall in Halifax as Queens Of The Stone Age show off their new album In Times New Roman – and more.

Good old fashioned power trio work from three masters of their craft. The Aristocrats wind up a set of UK dates in Manchester.

Craig Chaligne heads down to the Mid Sussex Music Hall in Hassocks to catch up with Chuck Prophet and The Mission.

Straight from Download, Japanese metal/punk/ska band, SiM head down south for their first UK headline gig, playing a sold out show in London

Cobalt Tales once again show what a vibrant, entertaining duo they are at their return to Over Hulton Folk Club .

An evening of lovely tunes from Hannah Sanders and Ben Savage – and the setting wasn’t a bad one, either!

We report back from the 2023 Heavy Music Awards at the OVO Arena, Wembley.
