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!

It was very good to be honest. The first two support bands were also of high quality though the third was quite annoying

every single bit of the night was incredible, the venue was perfectly sized for my taste, small and tightly packed, the support bands were phenomenal, the Young Guns had the crowd in a complete frenzy, and when Fightstar came on things only got better, the music was amazing and the crowd were even better, out of the handful of small venue bands i have seen, this was the best by a long, long , long way, i heard they were just as good at reading (Y) , if you ever get the chance to see them, you cannot possibly turn it down, can safely say was one of the best live bands i have ever seen, and seeing bloc party the next day was just not the same ... YOU HAVE TO SEE THEM.

I loved the Fightstar proformance because it was the first live show i had been to and I would do anything to see it again and again. There were extremely tense moments inbetween each support bands and after Saving Aimee had finished there was a long pause which made me even more excited when they made their entrance. I loved their out fits which glowed up in the dark. I couldn't take my eyes off them because I couldn't believe I was experiencing their fantastic music. It was so brilliant that my mouth was automatically singing along to their unforgettable songs. Like I said, I would do anything to see my favourite band, Fightstar, again!

This is by far one of the best gigs i've ever been to. Fightstar were excellent from the moment they came on stage, they got the crowd really involved and played really well they have become very tight as a group and charlie has an excellent voice. Also their music sounds great live! I'm already looking for more tickets to see them!

Whilst there was some dislike at the way the originally Fightstar only gig got turned into a Fightstar and FFAF gig, I think Fightstar were still the best act of the night by far. Despite Charlie's illness, they soldiered on and connected with the crowd on a new level. Having been to several F* gigs, they always impress and I would, of course, not hesitate in buying tickets for the next tour when it's announced.

Firsty they came on after 3 terrible bands played. Then when fightstar came on stage they were wearing ridiculous costumes, with all due respect it was holloween but we went to see them perform and would have been better it they were in jeans and tops not a skeleton outsit and fake blood.

Fantastic gig with a good setup. Drums were a bit too loud and guitars / vocals could have done with being turned up. Overall though, due to the bands performance it was a fantastic night :-)

Prego enter the stage as relative unknowns, to an unexpectant. still crowd, but are soon awoken with melodies reminiscent of Snow Patrol, but a crunching underbelly comparable to that of tonight's headliners. And what's more, lead singer Edd (Charlie Simpson's brother) is clearly as amazed by the reception as the crowd are of the enigmatic performance they are witnessing.
Young Guns have snowballed over the past year into a force to be reckoned with. Their display tonight is nothing short of incredible, tearing through crowd favourites such as In The Night. As well as the gathering of fans they had assembled before them, tonight they have surely doubled, tripled that number.
Saving Aimee possess a much different sound to Fightstar, and the crowd are partially stunned at first. But their 80s styled tracks soon get feet tapping, which evolves into a full blown rave, the crowd jumping and dancing whether they wanted to or not. Plus, we finally get a bit of Halloween spirit with bloodied costumes and pumpkins on stage.
Finally, Fightstar appear before one of their most excitable crowds to date, clad in sparkly masks and skeleton suits, delivering Tannhuaser Gate with such ferocity, and yet so much elegance, with Charlie and Alex on top form. Tonight the headliners delve right into their extensive song choice, executing the likes of Palahnuik's Laughter to the highest of standards and even a brotherly loving version of Until Then, seeing Charlie and Edd perform side-by-side with such conviction it would appear they're part of the same band. New single 'A City On Fire' gets the crowd pumped, before tearing the room apart with crowd favourite Deathcar, finalisisng a performance that the quartet should be proud of.
And with a re-release of Be Human already in the pipeline, Tonight is an encouraging sign of even higher things to come.

Well, for starters Fightstar are my favourite band in the world, thier albums are only getting better and better and now i have seen them live i love them even more.
They had so much energy and really got the crowd going.
Charlies voice was fantasic, even the screaming bits.
I saw them on halloween and they all wore skeleton outfits and the supporting acts also wore costums which just made the whole event a lot more special and fun.
All the supporting acts were good in thier own way, i espeacialy liked Prego.
The only down fall i think they had was they wasn't on for long enough, they was on for about 1hour 20min, which i think they could of stretched just abit longer.
I would recommend them to any Fightstar fan and anyone who likes that genre of music.

Fightstar were absolutely fantastic last night, the only negative was they were not on for long enough ! the support acts were great but they seemed to get the lions share of the night. When Fightstar played the crowd went mental and they looked (skeleton costumes) and sounded awesome ! left me wanting more. Really hoping they tour again soon xx

Really enjoyed the whole event. They played all my favourite songs apart from waste a moment ;(, but it was cooool-eyyyy!! It would of been better we had the ground seats, but there was some crazzyy people there, consistently fighting, I guess its there absurd way of having fun fun fun. Though that was the time I was glad to be on level 3.
