Trash Boat’s Epic Return to The Underworld
Trash Boat closed out their UK tour in style at Camden’s legendary Underworld on Friday night. The room was packed, sweaty and overflowing with emotion — the kind of night where the crowd jumped, laughed and even shed a few tears.
Kicking things off were High Regard, the female-fronted band wasted no time showing they belong on a stage like this. Their set was full of energy and gave the room the perfect kickstart before the chaos to come. Even when technical issues cut in midway through, they never lost their enthusiasm. At one point someone threw a deck of Pokémon cards onto the stage and the band made jokes and had the whole crowd laughing while things got sorted. It turned a setback into one of those fun little moments that made the night feel even more special.
When Trash Boat finally hit the stage, the atmosphere shifted from anticipation to absolute frenzy. Vocalist Tobi Duncan didn’t wait for a build-up — he launched himself into the crowd with a stage dive during the very first song - ‘Break you’. His dive set the tone for the rest of the night. Halfway through the set, bassist James Grayson followed his example, adding to a show that felt more like a communal outburst than a standard gig. In a venue where stage diving is often discouraged, on Friday night it was very much part of the show. Fans and band members alike took to the air, and rather than hinder the experience, it only fuelled the energy in the room. That sense of shared chaos made the performance unforgettable.
The band also kept the setlist exciting with a few surprises. Alongside staples like ‘Strangers’ and ‘He’s So Good’, they also played songs like ‘Love, Hate, React, Relate’, giving long-time fans something extra to shout about. The biggest highlight came when Charlie Rolfe of As Everything Unfolds joined them on stage for a powerful performance of ‘Bad Entertainment’. Her vocals tore through the room, lifting the energy even higher and sending the crowd into complete overdrive. It was one of those rare, unplanned-feeling moments that you couldn’t have predicted but will stick with everyone lucky enough to be there.
By the end of the night, The Underworld had been turned upside down. Trash Boat gave Camden a finale worthy of their tour: raw, reckless and bursting with community spirit. The sweat-drenched smiles on the way out said it all — this wasn’t just a gig, it was a celebration of emotions.
