Festival review: Paint By Numbers at The Bodega

Fri 19 Dec 2025

In a mark of just how healthy Nottingham's music scene is, this year we were treated to a brand new metropolitan festival. Paint By Numbers took place at (award winning) The Bodega, and turned out to be a day of sweat, softness and standout sets.

Gig review: James Yorkston at The Bodega

Wed 17 Dec 2025

It wasn’t too long ago that James Yorkston visited The Bodega. Last time, it was with collaborator – and lead singer of Swedish legends The Cardigans – Nina Persson. This time, he finds himself in the midst of a solo tour, obviously relishing the relative freedom that affords as well as the venue’s improved dressing room (now with sofas!). Part gig, part suped-up folk night at your local, this was a rambunctious, heartfelt and human evening of music...

Gig review: Divorce at Rock City

Tue 16 Dec 2025

What a year it has been for Nottingham’s indie darlings Divorce. Since their historic four-night sold out run at The Bodega last September, they’ve released a critically acclaimed debut album in Drive To Goldenhammer, toured music festivals and venues all around the world and ended up on the cover of NME Magazine. Then to put a bow on an incredible 12 months, they closed out their headline UK tour at Rock City this past weekend with their biggest hometown show to date. Here’s what happened at their victory lap…

Lu Fraser and Kate Hindley's 2020 children's book comes to life in the Lakeside's family Christmas production...

Gig review: Wheatus at Rescue Rooms

Sun 14 Dec 2025

Though they are no strangers to Nottingham, Wheatus delivered a highly nostalgic, energetic, and interactive midweek show at Rescue Rooms as if it was their first time. They maintain a distinctive, affectionate relationship with Nottingham, even adopting referring to the crowd as “Notts”, which is a small but strikingly sincere touch. Supported by Thomas Nicholas Band, of the American Pie franchise fame, with covers aplenty, we went along to hear for ourselves...

Theatre Review: The Last Noel at the Lace Market Theatre

Fri 12 Dec 2025

At the Lace Market Theatre, Christmas nostalgia meets the sting of memory, with nowhere to hide from either...

Gig review: Ice Nine Kills at Motorpoint Arena

Fri 12 Dec 2025

It may be Christmas time, but for one Wednesday night in mid-December, the Motorpoint Arena took us firmly back to Halloween season. Paying homage to classic horror movies both old and new, American metal outfit Ice Nine Kills brought their latest arena tour to Nottingham and it was simply one of the most over-the-top, theatrical and madcap shows we’ve ever witnessed. Here’s how the carnage unfolded…

Gig review: Wolf Alice at Motorpoint Arena

Thu 11 Dec 2025

As Wolf Alice have evolved into one of the best and most beloved bands in Britain, Nottingham has been there with them every step of the way. From providing a support slot for Swim Deep at Rescue Rooms well over a decade ago, to giving them their first mosh pit at The Bodega, to playing a midday slot at Dot-to-Dot and then later headlining Rock City, our city has always been a key part of their journey. Now as they complete the UK leg of their first arena tour, it seems fitting that Nottingham is the final stop. Here’s what went down…

Gig review: The Rasmus at Rock City

Mon 08 Dec 2025

It may be close to the end of 2025, but for one night only, The Rasmus transported us back to 2003 for the final night of their Weirdo tour at Rock City, accompanied by fellow Finnish band Block of Flats and American emo rockers The Funeral Portrait. From within a beautifully mixed crowd of longtime fans, younger listeners and older fans reliving their youth and chasing that sweet feeling of nostalgia, the show was full of energy and enthusiasm, from the bands and fans alike...

Gig review: Stereophonics at Motorpoint Arena

Sun 07 Dec 2025

Welsh group Stereophonics are a key component of the British indie rock scene, playing a role in its development since their formation in 1992. Fronted by Kelly Jones, the band's popularity remains high, as a packed out show at Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena proved...

Gig review: Alessi Rose at Rock City

Sat 06 Dec 2025

Alessi Rose is becoming a more and more familiar name in the pop landscape. On the tail end of a year that’s included tours with Dua Lipa, she leans wholesale into the trend toward hyper-authenticity in pop, condensing thoughts of love and loss, of joy and mundanity, of disappointment and optimism into finely honed, irresistibly catchy tunes. Rock City played host to her Nottingham tour date...

Gig review: Don Broco at Motorpoint Arena

Fri 05 Dec 2025

With stellar support from Magnolia Park, YONAKA and State Champs, a headline Nottingham Arena show from Don Broco saw a cathartic reminiscence of where they've been - and where they're heading next...

Gig review: Deafheaven at The Palais

Fri 05 Dec 2025

Deafheaven are a band with multiple two sides, having roots in shoegaze as well as bringing in elements of darker, heavier to their developing musical catalogue. As we headed down to The Palais on a dark Sunday evening, we were excited to find out which side we would see...

Gig review: Everything Everything at Rock City

Thu 04 Dec 2025

It’s safe to say, Mancunian art-rockers Everything Everything love playing in Nottingham. In fact, since the start of 2024 alone, the band had already played our city four times, including earlier this year with The Wombats at Motorpoint Arena. However, this fifth visit to Nottingham in under two years was for a very special occasion – a 10th Anniversary celebration of their beloved third album Get To Heaven. We went along to join the party at Rock City on a cold, wet Monday night…

Theatre Review: Sleeping Beauty at Nottingham Playhouse
