They headlined in 2019, thats only three festivals ago! i wouldnt expect to see them for a while yet - 2027 at the very earliest, which would likely be their swansong if they're planning on bowing out
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Music] Is this currently the world’s best live band?

Still the concert that sticks in my mind for sheer energy, vitality and 'this is now' was Secret Affair in The New Regent.
Are they still going?

Yes, touring Jan/feb. Have booked to see them again.

For pure performance, the answer for the longest time has been, as @AstroSloth says, Gojira.
As a live experience, Rammstein's stadium tour that they just finished up after five years (well two years lost to COVID lockdowns/restrictions, but it started in 2019) is a spectacle that very few others can match. No official videos from those tours, but this multi-cam video does a good job of summing up what it's like to be in that crowd as that pyro goes off. Saw them four times on that touring cycle, including twice in Europe and it was always an eye-popping experience.

The festival set (Glasto?) on TV in the summer was amazing. Mts T, who was very much in the m'eh camp had the scales fall from her eyes. The tightness and professionalism coupled with the absolutely undiluted clarity of purpose was quite something.
I have always struggled with massive gigs, and at 66 find that going batshit mental is no longer uppermost in my priority spectrum. But I am a long way from pipe and slippers. For Idles-level clarity of purpose, but a slightly different flavour of intensity, of all the gigs I have been to in the last 10 years, Protomartyr are the band for me.

I’m sure they’re good but that clip is an absolute unlistenable cacophony.

Funnily enough I thought exactly the same when I tried watching their Glasto set on telly in the summer. And I'm normally partial to a wall of noise. I guess you maybe had to be there

Currently my favourite extant American band (they inherited the title when Mimi Parker's death signalled the end of Low)...
And most excellent live

I thought the same when I walked in on their set in the Big Top at The End of the Road in 2018, and then I tuned into it and got hooked. The lyrical and musical ferocity just grabs you.

I was lucky enough to see Nick Cave twice on the Wild God Tour and agree entirely with your daughter. It was outstanding in every department.
