Don Broco may have taken a small break from touring in 2024, playing only three shows. This year, things ramped up significantly as they geared up for their long-awaited fifth record. The Bedford rock band announced a world tour, with stops at London’s Ovo Arena Wembley, Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom, Cardiff’s Utilita Arena, two nights at Manchester’s Victoria Warehouse and the one we attended, Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena. We headed to the 10,000-capacity arena to watch Euphoria unfold and to capture the show.

This string of enormous shows provided the perfect opportunity to play new music and revisit fan-favourites, as the band enter their heaviest era yet. In 2025 alone, they’ve released Cellophane, Hype Man, Disappear and most recently Euphoria. In fact, they played all four of these, starting with Cellophane and ending with Hype Man. They didn’t just bring new music; if you know Don Broco, you’ll know they always have a trick up their sleeve. On this occasion, their sleeve was full of lasers, large colourful visuals and infectious energy.

The crowd, on the other hand, brought…mini rolls? It’s not as random as you might think, with a tradition already instilled for Cellophane, where the crowd throw treats on stage thanks to a quirky lyric. Frontman, Rob, loves it, and it shows a wonderful community spirit between the artist and fans, and a moment of silliness amongst the many mosh pits, crowd surfing and bouncing.

Nottingham received a 21-strong setlist, featuring hits Everybody, Come Out To LA, T-Shirt Song, Gumshield and even a duet with support act YONAKA on Further.
