Ranking of concerts I saw in 2025

Franz Ferdinand. The perfect combination of incredible live band, tight performance, good venue, and the bit of nostalgia I have with their music.

Oasis. Cultural phenomenon this one. Liam’s voice better than ever. Noel’s guitar still on point. Not much else needs saying.

Mew. Incredible performers. Really rocked out. Was shaking after the show.

Black Country, New Road. Always love seeing multi-intrumentalists in action. The vibes were great, the songs were amazing live. Also got to meet them after the show which was cool.

Sigur Ros. A unique show this year, being them playing along an orchestra. I enjoyed it quite a bit though.

Aurora. Great and energetic live performer, probably would have been higher if I was more obsessed with her music going into the concert.

Gracie Abrams. Very good energy from the crowd, but something about the overall vibe from Gracie felt a bit off. Not sure what it was. Might be the interactions feeling a bit “robotic” or so. Otherwise had a lot of fun though.

Jacob Collier. Incredible musician, very impressive live performance, but the music just lacks the feels for me. At no point did I feel like crying or jumping with absolute joy, rather most of the show I was just like, “oh wow, that’s a really cool bit of music”.
