On Everyone’s a Star!, 5 Seconds of Summer enters their sixth studio album, but not as the same band the world met over a decade ago – they do so as artists who have lived through reinvention, burnout, reconciliation, and growth.

Vibrant, expressive and full of life, this record promises to be both the soundtrack to catharsis and the companion for quiet introspection. It feels like not just a new chapter for the band but a statement of who they have become.

Pacifica’s In Your Face is scintillating. True to its title, the Argentine rock duo delivers one of the most authentic manifestations of youth in recent memory.

As The Last Dinner Party brought their run of out-stores to Dundee, the band’s resuscitative performance drew a rapturous response, not just for the spectacle, but for From The Pyre itself. 

Mayday Parade may have been at it for two decades now, but Sad doesn’t feel like a band stuck in the past, it feels like they’ve nailed the art of turning nostalgia into something that really hits.

This show wasn’t just a battle of bands, it was a celebration of a generation's soundtrack, and Leeds showed up, sang loud, and reminded everyone that these songs still hit just as hard in 2025 as they did back in the day.
