"Closers Pond and The War On Drugs may lack the explosiveness of headliners from years gone by but they both proved themselves more than capable of delivering where it counts."

"With Hooper and her husband Christian Zucconi performing with almost too much energy and enthusiasm, 'I'm With You' is as vocally unstable as it is fun."

"The Ivory Lies are here to stay."

"For the next ten minutes there were streams of paper missiles darting toward to the stage. Some survived the journey to the stage while others plummeted into the front rows."

"Tunes from 'After Laughter' show us an introspective Paramore, one that's been through the line-up changes, the break-ups, the gossip, the growing up. It's a vehicle of Williams's maturation."

"What was once a shady sanctuary suddenly becomes a writhing, grinding mass of bodies all getting down and dancing together."

"The rapper undoubtedly has a lot left to give musically and he gave it on the night, with a smile from ear to ear."

"Syd was the ultimate crowd-wrangler and had us eating out of the palm of her hand from start to finish."

"Walking into each venue and running into friends, both new and old, and being greeted by laughter and warm hugs is a beautiful way to spend the afternoon."
