Concert Review: London Grammar at the O2, London
Seeing London Grammar live at the O2 in London was an unforgettable experience. The setlist blended classics like Hey Now and Wasting My Young Years with newer tracks from Californian Soil and their latest album. Hannah Reid’s incredible voice captivated the audience, from a stunning rendition of Hell to the Liars to a playful moment during You and I when the crowd hesitated to sing back, preferring to hear her soar.With Lauren Mayberry opening and a powerful encore featuring Lose Your Head, this concert was a true celebration of one of Britain’s finest bands.
