The Band CAMINO’s performance at the O2 Forum Kentish Town was a blistering, high-octane celebration that left no doubt: they are not just excellent studio artists, they are incredible live performers. From the moment the first chord of “Daphne Blue” hit, the immediate thought was, they sound exactly like the recorded versions, only louder and infinitely more electrifying. This seamless, polished sound is a rare feat, a testament to their tight musicianship and commitment to quality. The energy they brought to the stage was magnetic, immediately translating into a unified, euphoric atmosphere across the entire venue.
The atmosphere was perhaps the most defining element of the night. Whether you were packed in the pit, riding the wave of kinetic energy, or seated in the balcony of the Forum, enjoying the panoramic view, everyone was jumping and dancing and truly absorbed in the moment. The devotion of their fanbase was immediately clear: the crowd didn't just sing along, they knew every single song from beginning to end, turning anthems like “Roses” and “Told You So” into massive, communal singalongs that nearly drowned out the speakers. This shared experience solidified the night as a powerful reminder of the band's impact.
The setlist was a perfectly balanced journey, proving that The Band CAMINO's appeal spans their entire catalog. Every track, from their older fan favourites to their newest material, landed well and kept the energy at peak level.
The rush of early hits like “2/14” and “See Through” was met with the same explosive reaction as newer crowd-pleasers like “Limbo” and the propulsive “Baggy Jeans.” “Infinity” and “Hush Hush” set the tone early with their signature blend of slick pop-rock hooks, while the emotional depth of “Song About You” and “Afterthought” offered moments of pure, unadulterated passion. The main set closed out spectacularly with “1 Last Cigarette” and “See Through,” before the roaring demand from the crowd was answered with the perfect encore choice, “What I Want.”
A standout moment arrived with the stripped-down, acoustic segment. Often, a break in the electric energy can deflate a venue, but for The Band CAMINO, the reverse was true. Gathering the band closer for “Berenstein,” they proved that their songs’ power lies not just in the production but in the raw melody and emotion. This intimate segment was equally as powerful.
The Band CAMINO did not just put on a show; they created a vibrant, loud, and incredibly fun sanctuary at the O2 Forum Kentish Town where their music and their fans' passion collided for a night of unforgettable energy.
