There’s nothing like seeing your favourite artists live. Some acts just get it when it comes to putting on a great show.

So, whether you’re planning your next gig or just love a good live performance, here are 10 artists who really know how to put on a show.

10 –  Arctic Monkeys

Perhaps a controversial one to be at ‘10’ , after much fan discourse about how they choose to perform songs now versus when they first started – but sorry, they make the list!

9 – Declan Mckenna

From triumphant vocals to laps up and down the stage, Declan Mckenna always brings energy to his performances

8- Fontaines DC

The Irish band have a knack for commanding a crowd, and have some great songs that sound equally as good live

7- Inhaler

Another one from Ireland! They always create an exciting atmosphere, and get audiences on their feet 

6-  Wolf Alice

Ellie Rowsell’s vocals range from hauntingly beautiful to fast and punchy. Their upcoming tour promises new songs as well as beloved hits like ‘Don’t Delete the Kisses’

5- 5 Seconds of Summer

5sos at ‘5’! Their discography shows their development as a band and it’s almost guaranteed both old and new music will be on the setlist

4- Wunderhorse

Jacob Slater’s feverish vocals and occasionally bizarre movements keep you engaged and wanting more, even after they’re done

3 –  Blossoms

Their vocals are almost identical to the studio tracks, and they are always touring – whether it be festivals or smaller venues

2- Sam Fender 

Always a big crowd, always great songs to sing along to – what more could you want?

1- Taylor Swift

Of course at the top spot is Taylor Swift. 3-hour setlists. At least one song you’ll know if you like her or not. A true performer in our opinion!
