Everything Everything’s live performance is always a captivating fusion of sonic innovation and visual spectacle. As a fan of the band’s intricate melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, witnessing them in a live setting is always an incredible experience, especially with the new album, Mountainhead, released on March 1st. With tracks like End Of The Contender and Cold Reactor already hits with fans, there were big expectations for this intimate album performance.
Two-piece, Eevah opened the evening, with 80’s synth and beautifully written songs, the pair couldn’t have been a more fitting support act to get the crowd into the spirit. Everything Everything took to the stage, opening with a new song, The Mad Stone, there was a collective realisation that we had just witnessed something truly special from the get-go. Lead singer Jonathan Higgs’s pure vocals soared effortlessly through Marble Factory, carrying the audience through a whirlwind of emotions with each song. Whether belting out anthemic choruses or delivering delicate verses, his vocal range was nothing short of mesmerising. But it wasn’t just Higgs who commanded attention. The entire band exuded an infectious energy, effortlessly transitioning between complex rhythms and melodic hooks.
Everything Everything’s live performance isn’t just a concert; it’s an immersive journey that engages all the senses and leaves an indelible mark on the soul. Highlights of the night included electrifying renditions of fan favourites like Distant Past and No Reptiles, each delivered with an intensity and passion that left the audience in awe.
In conclusion, Everything Everything’s new album is a must-listen, and their live show is a must-see for music enthusiasts of all genres. With their unparalleled musicianship and captivating stage presence, delivering a performance that transcends the ordinary and leaves a lasting impression long after the final encore fades away.

Role: Photographer
I’m a professional photographer, and I love to shoot festivals, events, and gig-goers. I’m also an editor, specialising in music videos.
Qualification: BA (hons) in Documentary Film Making from the University of Newport.
Available for: Gig Shoots, Photo Shoots, Album and Single cover shoots and Touring
First attended gig: One of the first gigs I ever went to on my own was Chase & Status in 2008. My mates and I covered ourselves in glow paint, only to sweat it off jumping and dancing. It was the start of my never-ending gig list.
First gig shot: Technically the first band I ever shot would have been my dad’s, at the age of 9! My mum gave me this giant tape camcorder and I filmed the entire thing. Since then, I’ve shot plenty of friends’ bands whilst co-managing the live music venue, Le Pub in Newport, and I haven’t stopped since.
Dream gig: CASisDEAD, Slow Club, Enter Shikari, Dizzee Rascal (in the Boy In The Corner era), Turnstile, and The Prodigy.
