Only The Poets @ The Sunflower Lounge

Only The Poets are creating the boyband staples and pop classics of the next generation. The principles and values driving their music make them and their smooth, timelessly modern sound stand out from the ever-increasing sea of aspiring pop-stars. Their ‘Going Back To Where It Began’ tour prioritised free entry or affordable tickets to shows in grassroots venues, and I had the pleasure of reviewing them on their final tour date at The Sunflower Lounge, Birmingham.

Veterans of The Sunflower Lounge, Only The Poets professed their love for ‘this little sweatbox’, returning to the venue for the first time since 2019. They clearly weren’t exaggerating - such fans of The Sunny they had to play it twice, selling out 2 shows last night alone. Their pre-show playlist comprising of the biggest names of the modern cultural zeitgeist made their aspirations for their career evident, and if the queue outside The Sunny for 4 hours prior to doors open was anything to go by, I’d say they’re well on their way.
