Returning to London’s Troxy, this time for a 2 Night Stand, Valentine's themed party, Los Campesinos performed a celebration of their 2024 Album ‘All Hell’, followed by a compilation of crowd-pleasing songs. 

It was a pleasure to re-join them on what has been a run of the biggest shows in their career. Really embracing the fun, tongue-in-cheek side of Valentine’s, intertwining it with the melancholic undertones of the band's work. The stage design needed to be versatile to underpin the gravity of the thoughtful, emphasise the rage and support the catharsis in the high-energy, pop-like moments.

It was a joy to bring that to the stage again and explore the band's work more deeply.

Many thanks to the show photographers
