CONCERT
TUCKER WETMORE "BRUNETTE" TOUR SHOW

Review by Reegan Hamilton
Tucker Wetmore supported by Carter Faith at the O2 Academy Birmingham
There’s something special about a Sunday night show that feels like anything but—and that’s exactly what Tucker Wetmore delivered at the O2 Academy Birmingham. With support from Carter Faith, the night quickly turned into a full-blown country celebration that had the crowd on their feet from start to finish.
Carter Faith set the tone perfectly as the opener, her vocals echoing effortlessly around the room and immediately capturing the audience’s attention. Her natural humour and easy interaction with the crowd made the set feel warm and personal, while her cover of Slow Burn—a fitting choice given Kacey Musgraves’ recent time in the UK—went down a storm. It was a moment that truly showcased her range, leaving many in the crowd visibly stunned by the sheer power of her voice.
Then it was time for the main event. From the second Tucker Wetmore hit the stage, the energy shifted up a gear. Treating Birmingham like it was a Friday night, he had the entire venue rocking, blending confident stage presence with impressive crowd work. There was a clear chemistry between him and his band too—every beat, pause, and build felt perfectly in sync, turning the O2 Academy into a sea of movement.
The setlist was packed with fan favourites, including Wind Up Missing You, 3,2,1, and Sunburn, all of which kept the energy high. But it was Brunette—the centrepiece of the tour—that had the crowd dancing non-stop, a real highlight of the night.
Midway through, Wetmore stripped things back for a more intimate moment, stepping forward with just a couple of guitars and opening up to the crowd. Sharing that he’d recently finished recording his second album, he invited requests—something that only deepened the connection in the room. When he launched into Give Her The World and Drinkin’ Boots, the audience didn’t just sing along—they practically took over. Watching him sit back, smiling and soaking it all in, was one of the most genuine moments of the evening.
Throughout the entire show, it was clear Wetmore was exactly where he was meant to be. There was a point near the end where he simply crouched down, taking a second to watch the crowd and absorb it all—a quiet, powerful reminder that this wasn’t just another gig, but a dream being lived out in real time.
For one night in Birmingham, Tucker Wetmore brought a slice of Nashville across the Atlantic—and judging by the reaction, the UK will be more than ready when he returns.
FESTIVAL
COOPER alan "TO THE PUB" TOUR SHOW
Birmingham, UK • April 24 2026

TO THE PUB!!
Cooper Alan supported by Ian Harrison at the O2 institute Birmingham
The O2 Institute Birmingham turned into a full-blown country party as Cooper Alan rolled into town with his “To The Pub Tour,” bringing along Ian Harrison for support. And honestly, if there was ever a tour name perfectly tailored for a UK crowd, it’s that one—half the audience looked like they’d happily follow him straight to the nearest bar after the encore.
Kicking things off, Ian Harrison did exactly what a support act should do—win over a crowd that’s still clutching their drinks and figuring out where they’re standing. His set was smooth, easy-going, and quietly confident, gradually pulling people in until the room properly woke up. By the end of his set, he’d turned polite nods into proper cheers, which is no small feat when people are still debating their next pint.
Then came Cooper Alan—and any remaining sense of calm left the building. From the second he stepped on stage, it was less “concert” and more “Friday night out that got slightly out of hand.” His mix of country, pop, and feel-good chaos had the entire room bouncing, singing, and probably forgetting they had work the next morning. Songs like “Work”, “Drunk Drink” and “Pleas The Fifth” lived up to their name, it felt like a collective agreement that, yes, this was everyone’s night to party —and no one was leaving early.
What really makes Cooper Alan stand out is how little distance there is between him and the crowd. There’s no rockstar ego here—just a guy who seems like he’d be just as happy down in the audience singing along with everyone else (and possibly starting a chant or two). The banter between songs landed perfectly, keeping things loose, funny, and just the right side of chaotic.
All in all, it was one of those gigs where you come for the music and leave feeling like you’ve accidentally had a night out with a few hundred new mates. Ian Harrison set the tone, Cooper Alan took it and ran with it, and Birmingham got a Friday night reminder that country music pairs surprisingly well with a lively crowd and a couple of drinks.
FESTIVAL
COUNTRY ON THE COAst 2026 DAY 3

Review by James Vince
Sunday arrived in Portsmouth with wall-to-wall sunshine and a real sense of occasion—it was time for the grand finale of Country On The Coast 2026 at The Gaiety, and the energy was something special.
Opening the acoustic stage—and making an unforgettable festival debut—was 22-year-old Annabel Freya. Her performance was packed with promise, and if this set was anything to go by, she’s got a seriously bright future ahead.
Over on the main stage, Jada Cato returned to deliver yet another standout performance, proving exactly why she’s been one of the weekend’s breakout stars. Sam Butler followed, bringing rich, soulful tones and unmistakable Tyler Childers vibes that had the crowd completely locked in.
Stepping in for Preston D Barnes, Thomas Kavanagh rose to the challenge and then some—delivering a confident, crowd-pleasing set that showed he more than deserved his spot on that stage.
Back on the acoustic stage, Payton Riley brought big energy and even bigger emotion, with songs full of love, heartbreak, and attitude. The 20 Music Roots writers round followed, featuring Naomi Campbell, Simon Howard, and Brooke Law—three incredible voices, a stack of catchy songs, and pure country magic from start to finish.
Jesse Jennings kept things rolling with a powerhouse acoustic set—his voice is the real deal, and he definitely left with a whole new army of UK fans.
Then came one of the day’s biggest moments—The Wranglers hit the main stage with a vibrant, high-energy set bursting with passion. An absolute highlight.
Jackson Ray brought Oklahoma charm to the acoustic stage with a set full of strong vocals and standout songs, before Katie Whittaker made the journey from Scotland more than worthwhile with a captivating main stage performance.
Dusty Moats followed with a brilliant mix of humour, heart, and seriously good songwriting—“Somebody Else’s Problem” is one you’ll want on repeat. The Good Lies then turned up the volume with their infectious country rock sound, leaving everyone wondering about the story behind “Sally.”
Closing the acoustic stage in style was Brighton’s own Gina Larner, delivering a polished, powerful set that felt like the perfect send-off.
And then, the grand finale—Country Ties took to the main stage and brought the entire weekend home with an electrifying blend of country and bluegrass. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable weekend by the sea.
Huge credit goes to Hannah and the entire team behind the festival—what they’ve built here is something truly special. Country music is thriving in the UK, and weekends like this prove it.
If you weren’t there this year, make sure you change that next time—Country On The Coast is only getting bigger and better 🤠
