To the comfortable surroundings to the outstanding visual and thrilling performances...it was an unforgettable experience. Each Fightstar song was embraced with such joy and shear volume by the crowd. In the same way all the Fightstar four were brilliant in getting the crowd to create a certain... rock esctasy as it were
Also I caught Omar's water bottle and now its placed on my shelf in the room and to be placed there forever

Fightstar gig in Heaven was insane!! Despite having a bit of a bad throat Charlie's singing was fantastic, my brother loved his accoustic version of a Def tones song and we r gonna try and book to see him again in Camden, also hoping he will be at Reading this year......

The venue was quite small, but not uncomfortable.
The support bands were quite good, only saw the last song from Cars on Fire and The Xcerts.
Was good to see a Scottish band as Fightstar's support band.

The gig was absolutely amazing and would recommend all Fightstar fans to see a live set because they played a new song that they are working on and it sounded amazing!

They played songs from their old albums including Palahniuk's Laughter and Sleep Well Tonight, and about 3-4 songs from their new album including City on Fire and Mercury Summer. Their studio released songs sounded great, their live performed songs sounded better than great!

Definately recommend Fightstar to any fan of rock!

studio 24 is a small venue although it worked because you got close to the band! Charlie was awesome and the band really played a great show. The only thing i was a bit disapointed in was a lack of older songs played. i was really hoping to hear Mono as i am told its amazing live but they opted to play alot of tracks from the Be Human album. (which is a great album though)

ok. flat out, it was the best day/night of my entire life. i met fightstar and had my picture taken with them all. i can not stress how much of a good mood that put me in. i am still giddy and excited now and imagine i will be for quite some time.

as for the actual gig. the venue, absoultely tiny. which made getting the barrier easy and made the gig feel so cosy and personal. both support bands were good. quite funny too. all forgotten had to pull out, as the excerts singer explained, because of some bad curry. i felt bad about not buying their cd's but i had to have the fightstar hoodie. actually had to have it.

when fightstar came on, the place practically exploded. while i think the setlist did lean a little too heavily on be human, i completely forgive them because its a great album to hear live. chemical blood and war machine were highlights for me and the ever wonderful palahuik's laughter ripped studio 24 appart.

i mantain that til the day i die, this will be remembered as one of the wierdest, smallest but ulitmately the best gig i have ever attended. fightstar, you have raised the bar for the rest of my gigs this year, i pretty much don't think the other bands will deliver.

Some people's wrong interpretation of FIghtstar is that it just busted, but this is all wrong and those people should be bound and gagged, because Fightstar's albums have all been something to shout about, and there live performance musically is fantastic and would leave no true FIghtstar fan dissapointed. Support acts for this tour were hit and miss in terms of style, and as such i liked Cars on Fire the most then All Forgotten, and lastly i did not enjoy The Xcerts, but that's not because their live performance was bad, I just don't enjoy their style of music, as it sounded much like Say Anything, a band of which i am not a fan. I would compare Cars On Fire to having a similar style to Every Time I Die, as for All Forgotten, I can't quite pin down, but they come across as soft screamo, but enjoyable never the less.

I accompanied my other half to this Fightstar gig having a very little previous with Fightstar. The heavy sound is not something I am fond of, however Charlie's vocals were second to none, and the crowd were really going for it to make for an excellent atmopsphere.

Even if it's not your scene, like me, it's great value for money. The support bands, in particularly 'the Exerts' were really very good.

All in all, I'd recommend this gig to anyone into this scene, and to those who are not but are open minded.

Fightstar were absolutely brilliant! Been to see them 3 times and their gigs just keep getting better and better.
Really enjoyed Prego who were one of the support acts. The Young Guns and Saving Aimee were okay, not really my style but were gave a great performance.
The crowd were amazing, everyone enjoyed themselves and the energy at the gig is fab.
Would definitely go to see them again, i suggest you should too!
