Nothing beats live music, not only listening to music, but feeling it pass through your body with a room filled with like-minded fans.
We live for gigs, and that’s why this award exists, we feel the need to reward the artists who strive to make live music an experience.
Of course, we couldn’t visit every gig held, but here are some of our favourites.
Glass Peaks @ Thousand Island
Glass Peaks performing live at IndieCentralMusic’s Blogtober show 2017
Great lyrics, guitar work and high energy on stage, Glass Peaks are one of the best live acts, their songs are catered to being played live meaning you feel a whole new layer of emotion and intensity.

Wolf Alice @ Reading and Leeds Festival

No one has a wider range of songs than Wolf Alice, their sets have peaks and troughs taking their fans on a rollercoaster ride throughout. There is nothing quite like a Wolf Alice gig and R&L was no different.

Blackwaters’ Yard Party
Blackwaters
Blackwaters is a traditional rock band and give a performance to match. The lead was jumping around the stage and climbing up the walls and jumping off. Nothing less than a true rockstar performance.
