1/8/2024 0 Comments Eagles of death metal mosh pit![]() ![]() Tonight is all about having fun…and god knows, we all need some in our lives right now. They understand that their greatest asset are their fans, oh, and a whole lot of talent and showmanship thrown into the mix. EODM are about the sheer joy of live music, forgetting the outside world and just being totally immersed in the moment. So often you look around you at a gig and it’s an absolute sea of mobile phones with the audience live streaming the performance or worse, posting selfies, tonight is not one of those nights, with the focus most definitely on the action on stage.

The tunes come fast and furious as we are treated to crowd pleasers all the way.

As the band launch into ‘Shasta Beast’, the mosh pit erupts creating a ripple effect with the whole audience singing and dancing along as one. The venue is rammed to the rafters – the audience have reached full hysteria and a mosh pit has started before a single note is played.

That obviously works for them as they set about a half hour of pure genius.

Opening tonight is Bones UK (stylized as BONES UK) – a little later than scheduled as roadies and sound technicians dash about the stage double-checking everything is in full working order for the show ahead – but it’s well worth the wait.

Unsurprisingly, after the Le Bataclan 13th November 2015 Paris atrocity, entrance tonight requires bag search and metal detectors…with queues mirroring high-season at Heathrow Airport.
