As Everything Unfolds Headlining The Dome
As Everything Unfolds’s first headlining show in London detonated at The Dome – the kind of venue where crowd energy bounces off the walls and the city’s grassroots spirit burns brightest. From the first chord, the place erupted, turning the night into a full-force celebration of a band stepping boldly into their moment.
Starting off the night with Eville, the crowd was buzzing from the moment the trio stepped onstage to support AEU. The bratty nu-metal trio delivered a high-octane set packed with standouts from their recently released EP ‘BRAT METAL’ – ‘Plaything’, ‘No Pictures Please’, ‘Bikini Tops’, ‘Leech’ and more. Their lead singer, Eva Sheldrake, kept pushing the energy, constantly urging the audience to mosh, and they responded in full force. Fans were giving their all, thrashing and screaming along with every track. By the end of the set, she leapt off the stage and into the pit, spinning amid a chaotic swirl of moshers.
Next up was Happydaze, already familiar to moshly from our 5 New Bands to Disrupt Your Playlist feature. The pop-punk trio kicked off a vibrant set that had the crowd jumping, singing and grinning from the first chord. They treated everyone to their newly released single ‘Falling Again’, which had the audience shouting along fully immersed in the infectious energy. By the end, the room was buzzing, everyone caught in a joyous, happy daze.
By now, the crowd was more than ready for AEU. The band had just kicked off the first stop of their UK/Germany tour and London was already buzzing with anticipation. From the moment they hit the stage, the energy was off the charts – lights flashing, amps roaring and the audience feeding off every riff. AEU delivered a set packed mostly with songs from their latest album ‘Ultraviolet’, along with a few fan favourites from ‘Within Each Lies the Other’. Midway through the set, they performed an OG track – ‘17:10’ requested by fans, sending the crowd into a frenzy. The Dome’s lack of a gap between stage and crowd made the connection even more electric. Lead singer Charlie Rolfe leaned into the audience, sliding the mic toward fans who eagerly joined her, their voices blending with hers in perfect harmony. Meanwhile, crowd surfers surged to the front, adding to the chaos and excitement, making the room feel like one unstoppable wave of energy.
From Eville’s opening chaos to Happydaze’s infectious sing-alongs and AEU’s explosive finale, The Dome had been buzzing every second of the night. The intimate stage setup, the mosh pit swirling around Eva Sheldrake, a powerhouse leading with unstoppable girl power and the audience singing along with every note delivered by Charlie Rolfe added up to something bigger than just a gig. By the time the final chord rang out, it was both the perfect end to a Saturday night and the start of something much bigger.
