  • Bastille Brings Songs From The First 15 Years to the O2 Arena In London

    Bastille’s London show at the O2 Arena marked the finale of their From All Sides tour. Fans poured in, wrapped in merch and carrying memories from years of Bastille’s music, some experiencing the band live for the very first time, and they couldn’t have picked a more special night to do so.

    Bradley Simpson and Sofia Camara

    The show opened with two fantastic support acts: Bradley Simpson and Sofia Camara. Both brought incredible energy into the arena. Brad, with his effortless humour, joking about turning 30 and asking the crowd whether life gets any better (the resounding answer: no), and calling his sister so that the whole arena could congratulate her on having a baby! Sofia followed with her heartfelt, relatable songs that had the entire front row belting out their heartbreak.

    Bastille

    When Bastille started with ‘Things We Lost in the Fire,’ we instantly knew we were in for a deeply nostalgic night. One of the most exciting parts of this tour has been their rotating setlist. Each show highlights different moments from their 15-year catalogue, so several songs came as complete surprises, and we absolutely love that idea! Dan joked about how challenging it was to choose the right tracks for each night, but classics like ‘Oblivion’ or ‘Blame’ were definitely good choices for the London show.

    The stage setup was captivating, with three LED panels suspended above the band, displaying striking visuals and lyrics throughout the performance. The clean, cinematic design gave the show that unmistakably iconic Bastille look with moody colours and bold typography.

    Bastille also welcomed several guest musicians throughout the show. Myles Smith, a pop-folk singer-songwriter, joined them for a beautiful performance of ‘Flaws.’ Ruti Olajugbagbe, winner of The Voice UK 2018, took the stage to perform their new track ‘Save My Soul,’ which was released on Friday, November 21st. They also welcomed saxophonist John Rittipo Moore, whose warm, soulful sound added an entirely new depth to the set.

    The show couldn’t have ended any other way than with their biggest hit, ‘Pompeii.’ Hearing the whole arena sing, “But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?” was the perfect conclusion to a night that carried us through the years of Bastille being the soundtrack to our lives. The evening was filled with memories and nostalgia, leaving us even more excited for the future of the band.

  • The Band CAMINO’s Tour ‘HasJustBegun’ And We Have All The Details

    The Nashville-based band, The Band CAMINO, embarked on The NeverAlways Tour at the beginning of October, which is named after their third and most recent album. NeverAlways was released in July, and it’s safe to say it has been playing in our house on a loop since then!

    Jeffery, Garrison, and Spencer never fail to amaze us when we see them live. From the tryhard era to now, TBC has done nothing but write songs about feelings and emotions we have, but make it fun to dance to. And being at a CAMINO concert feels the exact same way. You’re in a room with people who have experienced life, heartbreak, and joy the same way as you, with TBC’s music as the soundtrack.

    The NeverAlways Tour was nothing short of breathtaking. CAMINO sang some of our favorite deep-cuts like ‘Haunted,’ ‘2/14,’ and ‘What You Can’t Have,’ and then some of the more fun, upbeat songs like ‘I Think I Like You,’ and ‘1 Last Cigarette.’ The whole venue was jumping, screaming, and having the time of their lives. As were the boys.

    We were a little nervous about tonight. This is the biggest venue we’ve ever played.

    Jeffery Jordan, about the Hollywood Palladium

    And you know what? We couldn’t even tell, Jeffery!! Y’all killed it, as usual.

    Jay Flores for THP

    At the halfway point in the show, the band created a little living room session in the middle of the stage so they could slow down the show and sing some acoustic songs. As Spencer told, their little setup was supposed to be a mini replica of the same room they wrote and recorded NeverAlways back in Nashville. During their little acoustic set, they also sang a cover of Justin Bieber’s iconic song, ‘DAISIES.’ All we have to say about that is please release that as a single if you can… Or even just a TikTok cover version of it… We need the full thing somehow..…..

    NeverAlways, as an album, already feels like a reflection on growth, self-discovery, and the messy middle of life, and the live show brought those themes to life. Songs like ‘Baggy Jeans’ and ‘What You Can’t Have’ hit differently when you are surrounded by hundreds of people singing the words back. There were moments of pure joy, moments of collective tears, and so many moments of connection.

    To say that you don’t want to miss the Band CAMINO on this tour seems like an understatement, but it’s just the truth. If you’re looking for good music, fun vibes, and a little cry sesh, this is the place you want to be. Whether you’re a new fan or an old fan, the NeverAlways Tour has something for you!

    Check out the full gallery below!

    The Band CAMINO has been a staple in our household, and if they aren’t one in yours already, we hope this helps give you a little push. If you didn’t already see them in your city on this tour, you still have time! Buy tickets for the rest of the US and EU/UK shows here.

  • We Are ‘Not Crying Anymore’ After Seeing Lulu Simon In NYC!

    On a beautiful day in NYC, Lulu Simon and Aidan Bissett came together to perform at Irving Plaza, and we got to be there to see all the magic! Fans came out in droves, and it was a beautiful night full of friendship, good vibes, and music.

    Lulu Simon

    Taking the spotlight first, the darling Lulu Simon proved to be the perfect opener for the night! With her stunning voice and charismatic presence, she had the entire venue captivated from the moment she walked out on stage. Her set featured her newest single, ‘Summer Dog,’ which beautifully showcased her unique ability to create folk-pop music that tugs at your heartstrings while still delivering infectious, sing-along melodies.

    Lulu writes deeply personal songs, leaning into the folk-pop genre with a sincerity that echoes the style of artists like Gracie Abrams—if you’re a fan of heart-wrenching lyrics delivered over polished pop production, you’ll definitely love Lulu! She set an incredible, heartfelt tone for the rest of the evening.

    Our favorite Lulu Simon songs: ‘Not Crying Anymore,’ ‘Feel Better,’ and ‘Strangers.’

    Zach Hood

    The stage quickly transformed for the next act, and as Zach Hood stepped into the spotlight, the mood shifted to a high-octane pop vibe. Starting with his 2021 hit, ‘Pink Ferrari’ was the perfect choice! Throughout his entire performance, he maintained a genuine, magnetic stage presence that kept the energy up, with the enthusiastic fans right there with him for every beat and lyric.

    We might not have been familiar with Zach Hood before, but the strength of that set changed everything. We left as fans and immediately added him to our ‘On The Rise’ watchlist! His performance was a highlight and proved that he’s an artist you need to keep your eye on.

    Our favorite Zach Hood songs: ‘never knew a heart could break itself,’ ‘Middle of Nowhere,’ and ‘Beautiful As You.’

    Aidan Bissett

    We didn’t think the energy could get any higher, but when Aidan Bissett walked on stage, we were pleasantly shocked! The way Aidan commands the stage is absolutely brilliant, and we were pretty much in awe of him the entire time. His set was a masterclass in modern indie-pop performance—a perfect blend of polished musicality and raw, unbridled rock star charisma that left the audience screaming for more long after the final chord faded.

    Our favorite Aidan Bissett songs: ‘Twenty Something,’ ‘More Than Friends,’ and ‘Tripping Over Air.’

    Ultimately, the entire night was a success, capped off by hours spent dancing with infectious energy and making friends with other NYC fans who shared our enthusiasm for the music. This concert was an unforgettable experience, solidifying our love for these artists, and we genuinely cannot wait till we can see Lulu, Zach, and Aidan again! Next time their tour bus rolls into the city, you can guarantee that we’ll be there, front and center, ready to do it all over again.

  • Busted VS McFly Brought This Generation’s Most Wanted Battle of the Bands!

    If you know anything about Busted or McFly, you’ll know it’s been an ongoing joke for roughly 20 years. Both bands were up and coming at around the same time and given their type of music and demographic, they have always been up against each other. Busted VS McFly was an opportunity waiting to happen – and we couldn’t have been more excited!

    To see the bands lean into that over the years, and join together on a tour like this where they “fight to the death” to see who the fans prefer. We must admit, it’s a hilarious way to get each fanbase involved.
    After they joined forces years ago as ‘McBusted,’ it was inevitable that McFly and Busted would continue to put their heads together and create something as iconic as a co-headline tour that catered to all their fans. But this is not like any other co-headline tour, this covered all ages, all genders, no matter what era you started listening to each of them. They managed to curate a setlist that captured each band’s journey, whilst playing their own biggest hits, deep cuts, and poking fun at one another.

    McFly kicked off the show with ‘Where Did All The Guitars Go?.’ Then hits like ‘Star Girl,’ ‘I’ll Be OK,’ and ‘Red’ filled their half of the show. It’s really quite difficult to summarise this show with hits – especially when we consider every single song a massive hit.

    Flowing seamlessly into Busted’s set, ‘Crashed The Wedding’ kicked off the second half of the show. ‘Air Hostess,’ ‘You Said No,’ and ‘What I Go To School For’ kept the energy high and the audience pumped!

    The show was split pretty evenly between McFly and Busted, each singing a whole set each. It then evolved into that back-and-forth feud we craved from the moment it was announced!

    Tour Announcement – October 9th, 2024 | Image Source: Toyah Ann for The Honey POP

    Harry and Eddy fought one-on-one in an intense drum battle. Followed by Matt and Dougie from the audience, on either side of the arena, singing ‘Hate Your Guts’ (a McBusted song), at each other. Whilst also, in typical “boys will be boys” fashion, creating degrading chants and poking fun at each other.

    Danny and Charlie then joined forces to strip it back to sing ‘3am’ and ‘Not Alone,’ and their voices melted into each other like butter. The room was filled with these raspy rocky vocals that they both have, but in such a ballad-y, acoustic way.

    For a while, it really was Busted VS McFly, no matter which team you’re on, the tension was heavy, the energy was high, and the vibes were immaculate.

    Busted and McFly closed the show by singing a final song each before all coming together on stage to just absolutely rock out to ‘Shine A Light’ and ‘Year 3000’.

    It’s certainly not the type of show you can show up late for or leave early. You will definitely miss something exciting! Everything from the visuals of each set, to the jokes made, and the beautiful tribute to James Bourne. It was practically perfect, they took your average co-headline tour and elevated it in so many ways.

    STOCKTON, Calif. —

    The Stockton City Council on Tuesday voted 4-3 to launch an independent investigation into the vice mayor’s involvement with a Wild ‘N Out event.

    Over the past two months, several arguments have broken out at Stockton City Council meetings, and city leaders have called for at least three investigations into ongoing issues.

    Residents in Stockton have made it loud and clear that they want the infighting to stop and for city council members to get back to business, but some officials argue they must investigate whether funds are being misused.

    Tuesday night’s council meeting was again filled with multiple residents asking for accountability during public comment.

    Under the microscope is the comedy/music tour Wild ‘N Out that had a live show at the Adventist Health Arena in May.

    The show was almost canceled because of some financial troubles, so the city paid $50,000 from a risk mitigation fund to keep the event in Stockton.

    There have also been concerns raised about Vice Mayor Jason Lee’s role in the show. He helped bring the event to the city and performed in the show.

    Lee says the money was taken from a fund meant to support events like this, that he wasn’t involved in the city approving the funds, and he didn’t get paid for the event.

    The mayor of Stockton placed the issue on the agenda for Tuesday’s city council meeting.

    It’s being recommended that an independent investigation be launched to look into the recent event contracting of the Wild ‘N Out show and to figure out if any violations occurred.

    There will also be a discussion over a separate investigation into DEI funding and who will oversee it.

    Vice Mayor Lee wants the state to audit how the interim city manager spent money.

    Lee claims the money was used to hire a consultant to help the city manager transition into his new role.

    “I’m going to use the voice that my constituents gave me to advocate for my district,” said Lee during a tense exchange with the mayor during the meeting.

    Mayor Christina Fugazi says there was no funding specifically earmarked for DEI.

    It’s still unclear how much the independent investigation will cost the city.

  • We Found Heaven At Conan Gray’s Show In Sugarland, Texas!

    We Found Heaven At Conan Gray’s Show In Sugarland, Texas!

    Sparkly outfits, boots, fringe, and dancing, what more could you want? We have all the buzz from the Conan Gray tour stop in Sugarland, TX!

    Maisie Peters

    The night started with Maisie Peters, an English pop singer-songwriter. Maisie played many of her songs off her most recent album The Good Witch, which was released in 2023. The authentic and honest sound of Maisie’s set was a wonderful way to start off our night! During ‘History of Man,’ the lights shimmered around the venue alongside fans swaying their phone lights, creating a beautiful scenery. Maisie ended the night with ‘Lost The Breakup’ which had the entire crowd jumping and dancing. We loved dancing with you, Maisie!

    Conan Gray

    If Conan Gray is in town, we will always be buzzing in the crowd! Conan started the night off with ‘Fainted Love’ from his most recent album Found Heaven. This album is heavily inspired by 80s pop rock, which we were so excited to get to experience performed live! Immediately we are transported back in time with Conan‘s sound and his fashionable leather outfit.

    Image Source: Simone Key for The Honey POP

    While watching Conan‘s electrifying performance, his fanbase can’t be unnoticed. In addition, so many fans had star-inspired makeup, fringe-incorporated leather jackets, and so many primary-colored theme outfits. We absolutely loved getting to see all of the unique outfits that were in the crowd!

    Image Source: Simone Key for The Honey POP

    About halfway through the set, Conan played his most recent song release called ‘Holidays.’ This song is about the bittersweet feelings of moving away from a small town to better yourself but always missing the true and honest friendships that you made while living there. When Conan expressed those feelings, we can’t lie, we did shed a few tears.

    In conclusion, we highly recommend seeing Conan Gray on tour. Between Conan’s lyrically beautiful songs being played live and the energy of the crowd, we wish we could relive this moment again.
