Gig Reviews

C2C have a decent track record of coming up with the goods when it comes to the ‘Legend’ slot on the Sunday evening. Marty Stuart was the pick of the bunch for his outstanding, standing ovation-provoking performance, whilst Emmylou Harris impressed us with her gorgeous back catalogue of legendary recordings. […]

Just last year we bumped into Ashley McBryde wandering outside the Indigo before her first UK appearance. Most people probably didn’t know who she was; no radio hits, no major label album release and no international profile. Fast forward twelve months – there we were, sitting in the O2 Arena, […]

The UK has become a second home for Drake White in recent years. He’s the perfect example of an artist who has seized the opportunity given to them at C2C and built a very strong, loyal fan base on the back of it. We first saw him at the after […]

You can never go wrong with Lady Antebellum. Admittedly, they weren’t at the top of my wish list for this year’s C2C as we’ve seen them fairly frequently in the UK over the last few years, but you know you’re always in for a top, top night when Charles, Hillary […]

Seeing Hunter Hayes on the line-up, particularly so high up the bill for Saturday, was a bit of a surprise. I’ve always been a big fan of Hunter and his music, but without any real chart success over the last few years, as well as the mixed reaction to his […]

C2C have reached the point now where it’s difficult to keep the variation going year after year with artists making UK debuts. This year’s line-up had quite a few repeat acts, so to see Carly Pearce and Dustin Lynch opening Saturday’s show was really refreshing. It had been a long […]

It’s set to be another exciting year for Carly Pearce. With a new sophomore album on the way to follow up her hugely successful debut ‘Every Little Thing’, Big Machine’s rising star continues to develop her ever-growing fan base, and the UK fans had been waiting for her to pay […]

It’s crazy to think that 12 years had passed since Keith Urban last played a show in the UK. This was a trip that was long overdue, and he’d been at the top of many C2C-goers’ wish lists for some time. Prior to his set at C2C, Keith played an […]

Brett Eldredge’s debut at C2C had been a long time coming. In fact, his return to the UK in any capacity had been a long time coming; it had been over three years since we last saw him in London at KOKO. Brett is the perfect artist for the C2C […]

Let’s get straight to the point – Cam’s set on the main stage at C2C was one of the massive highlights of the weekend, and also one of the best main stage sets (particularly in one of the earlier slots) that we’ve ever seen at C2C. She played on the […]
