Halestorm

Halestorm take over Islington Assembly Hall in London on 17 June 2026 with the hard rock that has shaped their journey since the late 90s. Led by singer-guitarist Lzzy Hale, the Pennsylvania quartet blends post-grunge bite, alternative metal weight and a feel for classic hooks. The lineup—Lzzy and drummer Arejay Hale with Joe Hottinger on guitar and Josh Smith on bass—builds songs on direct riffs and tightly framed choruses, always leaving room for Lzzy’s voice at the center. On stage, they move between high-energy burners, electrified ballads and darker mid-tempo cuts, driven by sharp dynamics and a solid groove. Their catalogue spans the 2009 self-titled debut, The Strange Case Of..., Into the Wild Life, Vicious and Back from the Dead, mapping a balance between grit and melody over time. A 2013 Grammy for Love Bites (So Do I) marked a key step in their path. In concert, that history condenses into a set that swings from punchy choruses to weightier passages and a few slow-burn moments.
