Gig: Fightstar @ OVO Arena Wembley
On Friday night, a momentous event unfolded at London's iconic OVO Arena Wembley. After an eight year absence, alt-rockers Fightstar returned to mark their 20th anniversary with their biggest headline show ever. This wasn't just a concert; it was a celebration of their legacy and a testament to the enduring loyalty of their fans.
Since their debut in 2005, Fightstar have captured hearts with hits like 'Paint Your Target' and 'Palahniuk's Laughter'. Now, with the original lineup reunited, they were back to reclaim their place in the spotlight. Joined by special guests Twin Atlantic and Loathe, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation.
Reflecting on their journey from small clubs to Wembley, Charlie Simpson expressed gratitude to the fans who made it possible. And as the night unfolded, it was evident that Fightstar's music still resonates deeply. From the thunderous beats to the soul-stirring melodies, every note served as a reminder of their enduring impact on the alt-rock scene.
In the grandeur of Wembley Arena, Fightstar's resurgence felt both nostalgic and revitalising. Relive the night through the awe-inspiring photography from Jez Pennington.
