Info
On 22 May 2026 at O2 Academy Islington, London, Motion City Soundtrack bring their Minnesota-bred pop punk and emo back to the stage. Led by Justin Courtney Pierre and Joshua Cain, the band threads bright synth lines through melodic guitars and lyrics that lean into anxiety, relationships and everyday mess. From I Am the Movie and Commit This to Memory through Even If It Kills Me, My Dinosaur Life, Go and Panic Stations, the set draws on a catalogue shaped across the 2000s and 2010s, balancing urgency with bittersweet hooks.
Cartel, from Georgia, join the bill with clean, high‑melody pop rock. Known for Chroma and a self‑titled album made during the Band in a Bubble experiment, they cut direct choruses and tight rhythms, recently picking up the thread with new tracks like 17 and The End.
Leeds outfit Beauty School bring a UK take on emo‑infused alternative rock. Six members, layered guitars, and songs that shift between drive and introspection, with themes of loss, isolation and mental health shaping their latest chapter.
