We See Them Where: SWG3 Galvanizer’s Yard When: 29 August 2017 Support: Perfume Genius; Nilufer Yanya Outside gigs in Glasgow, even in August, are always a weather gamble but tonight, the first of two nights at SWG3’s Galvanizer’s Yard for the South Londoners, remains dry.

Welcome to The Party Where: Broadcast When: 25 May 2017 Support: Katie Von Schleicher; H. Hawkline Stop the Press! Broadcast sold out! (Presumably thanks to an appearance by New Zealander AH on Later, singing ‘Horizon’, a few days earlier). That Later appearance produced a mini-Twitter storm due to the rather bizarre gurning faces AH pulled during her performance – and which she apologised for...
