I think we're aligned. I love their albums, but I've seen them live 4 times and each time I've left thinking I probably won't go back again... this time because of Brian, I definitely won't (probably, maybe, we'll see).   Their sound just doesn't live up to the records, and unlike most of their peers, it just hasn't improved much over the years.   Love the band, don't love their live shows. My opinion of course!

It certainly picked up, you're right, I felt it was much, much towards the end though. Really annoyed with my decision that night. Should have gone Little Simz.

For those after some information on Lido and APE including answering my own question on capacity this may be of interest. As its by a Tower Hamlets councillor I assume its accurate. Looks like capacity is 32,000.   https://cllrnathaliebienfait.net/details-for-new-victoria-park-festival-lido/

Lions Den won’t be returning next year, but should be back in 2026.
