AS EVERYTHING UNFOLDS MAKE A COMEBACK WITH A BANG

LIVE REVIEW| AS EVERYTHING UNFOLDS w/ Eville, Happydaze | DOME, LONDON | 14th November 2025 by Ollie Hayman

After a turbulent year for the High – Wycombe hailing band, As Everything Unfolds return to the stages across the UK and Germany. After the loss of their drummer, Jamie Gower, an outpour of love and support for the band gave them the motivation to push on, even writing new music and releasing three new tracks so far.

Supported by Eville and Happydaze, we took to their London show at the Dome to capture the rawness of the show.

Eville

The self-proclaimed brat-metal trio of Eville took to the Dome’s stage first. Recent tours with Redhook and Defences, as well as playing the incredible 2000 Trees festival has seen the band blow up in popularity. One of the jobs as a support act, as well as to show people new music they may enjoy, is to hype up the crowd, and it’s safe to say Eville managed this incredibly. Their crowd interaction for the first support of the night was simply top-tier, inciting not one, but two walls of death, multiple mosh and circle pits, and even the two vocalists getting involved during their final song – ‘Slay‘. You couldn’t really fault them as an opener for the evening, at all.

Happydaze

Happydaze came next – a pop punk band all the way from Edinburgh. They show the truest form of pop punk, most similarly relatable to your Blink 182’s and Neck Deep’s. Having had a cracker of a year themselves, playing the punk stage at Gloucester’s Underground Festival, supporting 4ftFingers on their stage, as well as recently coming off of the back of a UK tour with WSTR, proving their influences even harder. The band recently released their latest single – ‘falling again‘ – go check it out if you’re a fan of any of the above bands!

As Everything Unfolds

Then came the time for As Everything Unfolds to grace the stage. For the first time in two years, they come out on stage as headliners at a London venue – and absolutely killed it. It’s been one hell of a year for them, since they lost vital member of the band, Jamie, but it’s proof of resilience from the band as to how they’ve overcome adversity in the hardest of times. With your usual chants of ‘Jon Cass’ and new chants of ‘Charlie’ – each member must have felt so much love walking onto that stage that night.

Straight off the bat and not messing around with new single ‘Set In Flow‘ , we can instantly see how their style has evolved even from their most recently album Ultraviolet. ‘Felt Like Home‘ and ‘Saint Or Rogue‘ came next, high up in the setlist but packing a punch from the get-go.

We then see a true comparison in terms of style, with a quick fire trio of ‘Hiding From Myself‘, ‘17:10‘ and ‘Point Of View‘ – all three songs being from varying times of the bands career, with the second in line being their first song off of their debut EP ‘Closure‘. Funnily enough, ‘17:10‘ song was only played because of a fan vote, where the song didn’t even win! Instead, it was the later played ‘Wither‘ from their debut album Within Each Lies The Other that won the vote – a beautiful and emotional song that was never even released as a single, just a pure deep cut that the band don’t often play.

Also in the setlist was newest single ‘What You Wanted‘. The song features guest vocalist Dani Winter-Bates, who is the frontman of Bury Tomorrow who have been so supportive of the band over the last year, taking them on a huge UK and European tour late last year with dates at the Roundhouse in London. But we can’t not mention Charlie’s vocals, which are something truly incredible live. Her transitions between raw and clean shows her absolute versatility in what she does and how her style is something so unique.

The encore was the two hard-hitters in the set, your proper go-to encore songs, in ‘Ultraviolet‘ and finishing with ‘On The Inside‘ – which is not only an incredible song from their debut album, but also (distracting from the live show) a fantastically shot music video.

As Everything Unfolds are up there as one of the best coming names on the scene by a long way. Having supported Enter Shikari, Electric Callboy and Bury Tomorrow all in recent years, their live show rarely disappoints – and tonight was no exception. As the final notes rang out across the Dome, the show marked a potential closing chapter of their careers and a night which they’ll never forget.
