Soulfly at O2 Academy Islington, London 2024

The American metal band Soulfly played a great show in London after not being there for six years. They performed at the O2 Academy Islington, with the UK band Cage Fight opening for them.

Soulfly, led by Max Cavalera, put on an amazing performance. They played a mix of old favourites and new songs from their latest album. The crowd loved it, with lots of moshing and headbanging. The band’s energy was incredible; they even paid tribute to a fellow musician who had passed away. The show ended with some of their biggest hits, leaving everyone excited and wanting more.

Cage Fight, the opening band, did a good job warming up the crowd. They played hard and fast, getting people moving. However, some problems with the lighting and sound made it hard to enjoy their performance fully.

Overall, it was a great night for metal fans. Soulfly showed why they’re still a big deal in the metal world, and Cage Fight proved they have potential. The crowd was really into it, with lots of moshing and crowd-surfing. Fans were queueing for merchandise, showing how much they loved these bands.

Both bands put on a powerful show, but Soulfly was the highlight. If you’re a fan of heavy metal, this concert would have been a must-see. It looks like Soulfly might have a new album coming out soon, which is exciting news for their fans.
