It was Frank Carter’s night, but really any of the bands on this bill could have headlined with style.

EVOL brought the gig of the year to the O2. We knew that to be the case before it even happened. It proved to be true.

With utterly superb supports from Lynks and Cassyette this was a massive love in and a celebration of the loud, the freaks and noise merchants. It was proved by Frank having one arm in a sling and crowd surfing, anyway.

Shouting, dancing, moshing and generally smiling at each other. This is how it should be.
