But Summer Sessions in Edinburgh felt bigger from the start, like one of those nights that was always going to stick. The gig was previously meant to be held in glasgow a few months prior, with the opener being Wunderhorse. However after Sam fender's first night in glasgow he had to cancel the second night due to illness. Lucky for some, we were given tickets to this event to...]]></description><link>https://www.iwashereblog.com/post/an-angel-in-lothian-sam-fender-s-edinburgh-takeover</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69df0e90934ce577916d7c86</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2026 10:28:27 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/40b3df_8e391e8a3caf4fec990f6371ad2df1c5~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_640,h_358,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Louise Young</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kneecap Takeover Glasgow]]></title><description><![CDATA[After seeing Kneecap supporting Fontaines D.C. back in July, getting tickets for their own show was never even a question. The second they went on sale, I was there. That night in Finsbury Park had already been chaos in the best way, and I needed to see what that energy felt like in a room that was fully theirs. So by the time November came around and we were heading into the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, the expectations were already high. Of course, I was not let down on my expectations. Walking up...]]></description><link>https://www.iwashereblog.com/post/kneecap-takeover-glasgow</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69df0d8e47c3def1ffee3a6c</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2026 09:52:58 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/40b3df_df565c8a71ab4fb5ac6842ff0ffca9fb~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_480,h_425,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Louise Young</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Catfish and The Bottlemen's big comeback at Leeds Festival 2024]]></title><description><![CDATA[I still remember exactly how I found out about it. One minute I was just scrolling, not expecting anything, and the next I saw that Catfish and the Bottlemen were coming back and not just anywhere, Leeds Festival 2024. After their breakup in 2021, I genuinely thought I’d never get the chance to see them live. They’d always been one of my favourite bands, one of those you assume you’ll get around to eventually, until suddenly you can’t. So when that announcement dropped, it didn’t even feel...]]></description><link>https://www.iwashereblog.com/post/catfish-and-the-bottlemen-s-big-comeback-at-leeds-festival-2024</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69df0135934ce577916d5a51</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2026 03:53:36 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/40b3df_dacad5f1eb944568b2cdbb880de2cceb~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Louise Young</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fontaines DC huge Gig at Finsbury Park]]></title><description><![CDATA[There is a unique kind of energy that only comes from outdoor summer gigs. It builds throughout the day, anticipation growing for the main event, before it transforms into something electric and dreamlike. That had what it felt like to see Fontaines DC take over Finsbury Park in July 2025. The moment the show was announced I knew I had to be there. Fontaines DC, Kneecap and Amyl and The Sniffers all in one gig and at a park? I was not missing that. The day was packed full. Kneecap starting...]]></description><link>https://www.iwashereblog.com/post/fontaines-dc-huge-gig-at-finsbury-park</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69de6612698fcbe5d29f2f4d</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2026 01:37:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="http://video.wixstatic.com/video/40b3df_6467e7b4e0bd45fabfdc93cd2ff76fa3/1080p/mp4/file.mp4" length="0" type="video"/><dc:creator>Louise Young</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
