It’s past the halfway point of a 21 date tour round the UK and Europe for Spanish Love Songs. Tonight's show is taking place at Electric Ballroom in London for the band's biggest headline show to date.

As fans make their way into the venue is SUDS from Norwich. While the band not have many people familiar with their music in the crowd, they soon had everyone engaged in their set. There is a clear joy radiating from the band to be playing to crowds like this. Definitely leaving the stage with many new fans

Next up is Heart Attack Man from Ohio. They waste no time exploding on stage with fan favourite track Leap Year, it did not take long for the crowd to start to match the bands energy, with many fans singing along and the night's first crowd surfers making their way over the crowd. The set featuring a good mix of songs from 2023’s Freak Of Nature and some older tracks went down well with tonight's crowd. With frontman Eric commenting on how they saw London as a second home and the reception from tonight's crowd it won't be long till they will be headlining rooms like this in the UK.

Opening with track Lifers, Spanish Love Songs took to the stage with fans singing along enthusiastically. From the fans in the front row, to the crowd surfers coming over the barrier the shared energy and connection between the band and crowd is apparent. The set highlighted many songs from recent release No Joy, with this being the first UK headline shows since it’s release, as well as some older fan favourites. From huge singalongs, to quieter moments tonight's set was powerful and memorable.

Luckily for fans, it won’t be too long till they can experience it again with flyers and posters scattered around the venue announcing another London show in July where 2020’s Brave Faces Everyone will be played in full.
